- 9. SCADA Systems Overview Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) ● Used primarily by operators & others on the plant floor ● Controls industrial processes ● Gathers & processes real-time data ● Records historical data ● Helps keep efficiency high and downtime low
- 11. ERP Systems Overview ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) ● Software for managing and automating business processes ● Collects, stores, manages & interprets data from business activities ● Shares data across departments ● Uses databases maintained by a DBMS ● Helps increase efficiency and reduce production & transaction errors
- 13. Benefits of Connecting SCADA with ERP Cross-reference info from the business level and the plant floor to: • Make better decisions • Prevent downtime • Make your operations more efficient and transparent • Comply with regulations more easily • Improve quality control and quality assurance • Increase and accelerate data access
- 14. Obstacles to Connecting SCADA with ERP • SCADA is part of operational technology (OT); ERP is part of information technology (IT) • OT has proprietary systems; IT prefers to use open, standards-based technologies • SCADA is real-time; ERP is transaction-based • ERP systems are database-oriented; SCADA systems are not. SCADA-system data is hard to transfer.
- 15. Obstacles to Connecting SCADA with ERP Solutions? • Manually move data across systems, which is very time-consuming. • Implement solutions that integrate the two systems, which is very costly and takes a long time. • The best way to accomplish this is with a platform that works with both OT and IT.
