VTScada Fulfills Comprehensive IIoT with Superior Performance in Monitoring and Control
Monitoring infrastructure in industrial settings poses a major challenge across diverse sectors, including electricity grids, water treatment, and energy systems. The sheer scale and scope demand even more efficient resource allocation and management. Fortunately, smart manufacturing is fueling the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), introducing various features such as real-time monitoring, data acquisition, and alarm systems. Powered by a proud Delta subsidiary, a Canadian industrial software company called Trihedral, the Scada System VTScada serves as a centralized monitoring platform that easily connects various systems. It empowers managers with remote and real-time access to equipment information. Integrating perfectly with Delta automation products, VTScada has provided a complete solution for intelligent remote monitoring ever since Trihedral joined Delta in 2020.
One of the primary challenges for industrial system management is the lack of integration. Platforms often struggle to connect different kinds of systems, such as energy management and factory monitoring. Users are thus forced to navigate through various software applications, resulting in inefficiency. VTScada addresses three unmet demands. Firstly, it provides a one-stop solution by integrating various systems and monitoring functions on a single platform. Secondly, it enables fast data upload with its built-in database. Lastly, it recognizes that data is the new gold and prioritizes the security of data transmission.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems bridge the gap between the OT and IT layers. SCADA aims to connect sensors, controllers, and other equipment in factories and production lines. Real-time equipment status is then uploaded to the cloud for managers to access and analyze the data. Beyond providing data insights and controlling equipment, SCADA systems also serve as a reliable guard, issuing alerts immediately when anomalies occur.
Supporting over 100 industry standards and proprietary I/O communication protocols, VTScada provides flexible customization options. The user-friendly graphic design platform, Idea Studio, enables fast screen creation and modification. Moreover, its built-in database, Historian, is a valuable asset for subsequent data analysis.
In an industry that highlights rigorous data security and stable transmission, VTScada lives up to the standards. The backup redundancy system ensures uninterrupted data connectivity. In case of network or I/O failures, the built-in driver multiplexer automatically switches to redundancy. With a sophisticated alarm notification system, VTScada sends alerts by SMS, email, and voice messages. Solid efforts are made to ensure watertight data security. The flexible and reliable VTScada checks all the boxes for an integrative IIoT solution.
VTScada and Delta’s self-developed SCADA system DIAView complete the picture for intelligent factory monitoring. DIAView serves as an advanced human-machine interactive platform tailored for small and medium-sized manufacturing applications, while VTScada excels in large-scale process or factory automation. The two platforms are a perfect complement, providing customers with data visualizations and valuable insights for factory control and monitoring.
During times of uncertainty and hyper-competition, leveraging technology to enhance management efficiency is of paramount importance. Combining VTScada with Delta’s software and hardware, the comprehensive solution empowers businesses to efficiently access all equipment data. Such a feature is key to ensuring stability in automated scenarios. Much like a stepping stone, VTScada gives a powerful boost to clients toward digital transformation.
