SCADA Systems Get a Boost From IIoT and Digitalization
工業物聯網和數字化推動SCADA系統發展

Many believe that unlocking real-data insights are critical and indispensable for future industrial facilities and businesses. Though such developments are rapidly accelerating the use of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, the increased prevalence of cybersecurity threats is acting as a challenge for both the SCADA solutions providers and end-user firms.

許多人認為，對于未來的工業設施和企業來說，解鎖真實數據的洞察力是至關重要和不可或缺的。盡管這些發展正在迅速加快數據采集與監控（SCADA）系統的使用，但網絡安全威脅的日益盛行對SCADA解決方案供應商和最終用戶公司都是一個挑戰。

The SCADA market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.01% during the forecast period to reach US$34.519 billion by 2027, from US$22.946 billion in 2020. Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 technologies are anticipated to add impetus to the growth of the market in the projected period.

在預測期內，SCADA市場預計將以6.01%的復合年增長率增長，到2027年達到345.19億美元，而2020年為229.46億美元。工業物聯網（IIoT）和工業4.0技術預計將在預測期內為市場的增長增加動力。

Although IIoT and SCADA differ in multiple aspects, they share a common goal. The integration of IIoT and SCADA enables a holistic understanding of the entire operational processes in a much more simplified manner. Traditionally, SCADA requires the manual generation of the analytic reports, but this process can be efficiently automated in less time and get quality insights when integrated with IIoT solutions. With the advent of IIoT, modern SCADA was updated with several appealing parameters such as scalability and data analytics, thus improving the market landscape of SCADA.

盡管IIoT和SCADA在多個方面有所不同，但它們有一個共同的目標。IIoT和SCADA的整合能夠以更簡化的方式對整個運營過程進行整體了解。傳統上，SCADA需要手動生成分析報告，但當與IIoT解決方案整合時，這一過程可以在更短的時間內有效地自動化，并獲得高質量的洞察力。隨著IIoT的出現，現代SCADA被更新了幾個吸引人的參數，如可擴展性和數據分析，從而改善了SCADA的市場前景。

With the growing stringent compliance requirements, demand for effective production processes and supply chain, product quality, and the need for constant process optimization are adding impetus to the market’s growth. Similarly, the growing trend of digitalization is also another factor aiding the market’s growth. For instance, according to the survey conducted by SAP SE in 2020, of the total 400 worldwide C-level healthcare executives, about 70 percent showed a willingness to digitize their operational processes.

隨著日益嚴格的合規性要求，對有效的生產流程和供應鏈、產品質量的需求，以及對持續的流程優化的需求，都為市場的增長增加了動力。同樣，日益增長的數字化趨勢也是幫助市場增長的另一個因素。例如，根據SAP SE在2020年進行的調查，在全球總共400名C級醫療主管中，約70%的人表示愿意將他們的操作流程數字化。
 
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition consist of multiple computers, user interfaces, and networked data communications for monitoring machines and the operation processes. This control system integrates hardware and software elements, enabling the firms to monitor and regulate the operational processes locally or remotely while monitoring, collating, and analyzing the data in real-time. Furthermore, it also directly interacts with devices like pumps, sensors, motors, valves, and human-machine interface software. The demand for SCADA in industrial enterprises is high, as it not only processes data rapidly, aiding in smart decision-making but also communicates the issues among systems to decrease downtime, all while maintaining high efficiency.

監控和數據采集由多臺計算機、用戶界面和網絡數據通信組成，用于監視機器和操作過程。這種控制系統整合了硬件和軟件元素，使企業能夠在本地或遠程監控和調節操作過程，同時實時監測、整理和分析數據。此外，它還與泵、傳感器、電機、閥門和人機界面軟件等設備直接互動。工業企業對SCADA的需求很高，因為它不僅能快速處理數據，幫助智能決策，而且還能在系統之間溝通問題，減少停機時間，同時保持高效率。

SCADA offers many appealing advantages, including interoperability, scalability, communications, and support, attracting diverse firm owners, including oil and gas, energy, food and beverage, transportation, recycling, and many more, and enabling them to adapt these control systems as their backbone. The global landscape of the SCADA market is segmented based on component types, end-user industry, architecture, and geographical regions.

SCADA提供了許多吸引人的優勢，包括互操作性、可擴展性、通信和支持，吸引了包括石油和天然氣、能源、食品和飲料、運輸、循環回收等不同的公司業主，并使他們能夠適應這些控制系統作為其骨干。SCADA市場的全球格局是根據組件類型、最終用戶行業、架構和地理區域來劃分的。
