Which type of system is specifically tailored for automated control and ingestion of data across a range of facilities such as power plants, water treatment centers, and factories?
The particular systems designed for the automated control and acquisition of data in industrial settings such as power plants and water treatment facilities are known as SCADA systems. They are essential for the centralized monitoring and control of industrial processes. While Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are used for controlling production systems within a local area, they primarily focus on the plant floor level. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are hardware components used within control systems like SCADA but are not systems themselves that manage processes across facilities. Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) focus on the management of information security in organizations, not the direct control of industrial processes.
