Mini-SCADA vs Traditional SCADA: Which One Should Your Plant Choose?
In the era of Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT (IIoT) , every manufacturing plant is looking for smarter ways to monitor, control, and optimize processes. While SCADA software has long been the go-to solution, not all applications require the complexity and cost of a full-fledged SCADA system. That’s where Mini-SCADA comes in —an agile, affordable, and efficient alternative that bridges the gap between basic HMI systems and traditional SCADA platforms. What is Mini-SCADA? Industrial processes have different levels of requirements: Some need only real-time data monitoring. Some need data acquisition and logging. Others demand remote monitoring, remote control, report generation, visualization, and user-level access. For such cases, businesses usually face three choices: Over-invest in a traditional SCADA system that is more powerful (and expensive) than necessary. Rely on custom software with poor upgradability and vendor lock-in. Use HMIs with limited scree...

Communication Technologies In Industry: A Guide For Beginners
Introduction to Communication Technologies: A Must Know For Beginners | Part 1 What is communication in essence ? It is the exchange of ideas between two or more parties. Every organism on the planet uses some form of communication. It is important to communicate to collaborate and synchronize . Similarly when the age of computers arrived, we felt the necessity to design systems which could talk to each other. When a group of devices talk to each other, it is called a Network. It can be a serial or ethernet/wireless ethernet based network. In this article we will cover the basics of concepts of communication technologies used in the industry. As this is a huge topic, it cannot be covered in one article, so, it will be a series of articles [we haven't decided on how many yet].
