Application Review: Vision C for Heat Treatment
What is Vision C? Vision C is an advanced Mini-SCADA system designed by Dicot Innovations for industrial process control, monitoring, and data acquisition. It brings the power of large-scale automation systems into a compact, user-friendly, and cost-effective platform. From recipe management to real-time monitoring, Vision C simplifies complex industrial operations while maintaining precision, reliability, and traceability. Vision C in Heat Treatment Applications A large segment of Vision C’s user base employs it for metal heat treatment processes — across furnaces of varying sizes and types, and with diverse PID and programmable PID controllers that support ramp-and-soak functionality. Vision C offers features tailored specifically to this domain, making it an indispensable tool for modern heat treatment plants. Key Features That Empower Heat Treatment Processes 1. Recipe Management Made Simple Different temperature-time curves define different metallurgical proper...
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].
