SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a professional software used for remote control of complex industrial and warehouse systems. One of the main applications of the management and control software - SCADA is the supervision and analysis of all processes in the warehouse or production base. SCADA is suited for smaller and larger storage systems;
Thanks to SCADA, all devices, part of the Automated Storage System, such as sensors, motors, and other devices controlled locally by the PLC are switched on and off at the right/exact moment. This way, they always implement the most profitable intralogistics strategy.
Nowadays, SCADA software can be locally or remotely managed, thanks to the ability to be installed on various terminals, desktops, mobile phones, or tablets.
MONITORING, DATA ANALYSIS, AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESSES IN A WAREHOUSE
The amount of data, analyzed in modern warehouse automated processes is increasing. SCADA solutions and SQL databases allow faster analysis.
STAMH Solutions' SCADA software provides real-time monitoring and data processing. It makes it possible to make the right decisions (sometimes completely automatic, by the system itself) to optimize and speed up the processes in the warehouse.
Modern SCADA solutions, of course, must be adapted to the needs of a particular warehouse or production unit. They have a graphical interface, and tools for structuring and storing relevant information and analyzing data - including identifying trends to increase the speed, optimize the processes, or achieve greater productivity.
STRUCTURE AND DIFFERENT LEVELS IN SCADA IMPLEMENTATION
PLC devices, as well as RTU - Remote Terminal Units, are microcomputers that communicate with multiple other devices. They transfer important information to desktop devices or mobile phones with SCADA software. On the other hand, PLCs or RTUs are fed with information from sensors or manually entered inputs.

To better understand the functioning of SCADA software, it is good to define the four main levels of software solutions work in production and logistics areas:
- Programmable logistics controllers PLC
- Remote terminal units - RTU
- Communication network
- SCADA Software
