SCADA Systems for Manufacturing

Industrial Control Systems, Inc. (ICS) designs, programs, and installs SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems that give manufacturers real-time visibility and control over their entire operation. From a single production line to a multi-facility enterprise, our SCADA solutions help you monitor performance, respond to alarms, collect production data, and make informed decisions from anywhere.

What Is a SCADA System?

A SCADA system is the central nervous system of an automated facility. It collects data from PLCs, sensors, and instruments across your plant and presents it on operator screens as live process graphics, trend charts, and alarm dashboards. SCADA allows operators to monitor temperatures, pressures, flow rates, tank levels, machine states, and production counts in real time. Modern SCADA platforms also provide historical data logging, reporting, recipe management, and remote access via web browsers and mobile devices.

SCADA Platforms We Specialize In

ICS is a certified integrator for Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform, which is our primary SCADA recommendation for new installations. Ignition offers unlimited clients and tags with a server-based licensing model that eliminates per-seat costs. We also have deep experience with Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View SE and ME, AVEVA (formerly Wonderware) InTouch and System Platform, Sepasoft MES modules for Ignition, and GE Digital iFIX. Our engineers select the right platform based on your existing infrastructure, budget, and operational requirements.
