The term SCADA, which stands for "Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition" and is pronounced "Skada," means "monitoring control and data acquisition" in Japanese. It is an acronym for a type of monitoring control system with the function described in this phrase. SCADA is a software application domain for managing industrial processes, which involves the real-time collection of data from remote locations in order to control machinery and environments. One of the industrial control systems that are most frequently used in Japan is SCADA, which can be used to manage almost any kind of industrial process. These industrial processes include manufacturing, process control, power generation, fabrication, and refining, and may run in continuous, batch, repetitive, or discrete modes.

SCADA analyzes and gathers information while monitoring and managing data transmitted by diverse sensors and equipment. In addition to these features, alarms and security features may also be included. Alarm systems and security protocols could additionally be included in these additional features. SCADA systems are employed to regulate and supervise physical processes such as electricity transmission, petroleum and gas transportation in transmission lines, water supply systems, traffic lights, and other systems that serve as the foundation of the contemporary era.
