Key Takeaways

  • Get access from anywhere, on any device, with Web SCADA.
  • Escape the high upfront costs of Traditional SCADA.
  • Have a continuously up-to-date and secure system with the SaaS model.
  • Choose hybrid or full-cloud solutions according to your needs.

When it comes to control and monitoring at industrial facilities, the first technology that comes to mind is SCADA. But together with cloud technologies, the concept of "Web-Based SCADA" has begun to shake up traditional structures.

Which One Suits Which Facility?

  • SMEs and Mid-Sized Factories: Because of the need for low cost, fast installation and access from anywhere, Web SCADA is ideal.
  • Multi-Location Businesses: Web SCADA is advantageous for monitoring facilities in different cities from a single center.
  • High-Security / Isolated Facilities: In critical infrastructure with restricted internet access, Traditional SCADA may be preferred.

Traditional SCADA: Powerful but Cumbersome

Traditional SCADA systems run on local servers. While being isolated may seem like a security advantage, they have limitations such as high installation costs and access only from the local network.

Web-Based SCADA: Flexible and Accessible

Web SCADA solutions like SolarTools offer access from anywhere via the browser. They require no software installation, are mobile-friendly and offer a low upfront cost with the SaaS model.
