SCADA INTEGRATION EXPERIENCE COUNTS
Exigo crew of SCADA programmers understands that clearly presented information, intuitive system controls and clear navigation are the core of good SCADA/HMI programming, which ultimately drives operational efficiency and performance. Our clients appreciate that we can design to their standards and that we never try to force them into a box. However, if you don’t yet have standards, we have some great ones, and we think you’ll like what you see. Either way, we’ll do the heavy lifting, but we will involve you every step of the way so that you wind up with a system you love.
As the brains of your automation system, choosing the right SCADA system for your specific needs is paramount, as often times the ability to monitor and control systems and processes is just not feasible for humans, whether that limitation is due to location, cost or complexity. Whether you’re implementing your first SCADA system, updating a current system, or simply looking for an integration partner with the expertise required to help you sort through all of the available options, we’re happy to explore the following considerations to help you select the optimal SCADA system for your business.

Whether you’re implementing your first SCADA system, updating a current system, or simply looking for an integration partner with the expertise required to help you sort through all of the available options, we’re happy to explore the following considerations to help you select the optimal SCADA system for your business.
- HARDWARE: You’ll need to inventory what type of equipment is currently in place at your site(s) and consider if the selected SCADA system will work with your existing hardware.
- REQUIREMENTS: Though you may be looking for a SCADA system today, it’s important that the system you choose supports your future needs as well, such as plans for plant expansion or growth in the number of data-dependent users.
- COST: Always remember that you get what you pay for. Your initial cost may not reflect the total cost of operating your system over time. Depending on your organization and industry, you should also consider current and potential inspection, maintenance and repair costs.
- SERVICE & SUPPORT: If a SCADA system goes down, the consequence can be serious. The success or failure of your project will likely be determined by the team you choose to implement it rather than the platform you choose.
- SECURITY: Consider conducting a vulnerability assessment in your SCADA system and close any gaps not considered best practices, mitigating any potential security risks.
