SCADA System – Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
Supervision, collection, and control of data in real time.
What is a SCADA System?
A SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system allows you to monitor and control industrial processes in real time, offering complete visibility of machines, production lines, auxiliary systems, and key parameters for operation.
At Geprom, we offer open, scalable SCADA platforms that are prepared to integrate with automation, MES, maintenance, and energy efficiency systems.
With a modern SCADA, you don’t just control. You make decisions faster, reduce errors, anticipate failures, and transform data into productivity.

The Digital Maturity Pyramid
What Level of Digital Maturity Does SCADA Cover in your Plant?
Digital transformation in industry is a structured process that progresses in phases. Within our digital maturity pyramid, based on the ISA-95 model, SCADA systems represent a key intermediate level: they allow moving from simple data capture to real-time supervision and control of the plant.
Level 2 corresponds to advanced Operational Digitization: thanks to a SCADA, companies integrate process monitoring, alarms, history logs, and remote machinery control, obtaining complete visibility of the operation. This layer connects automation systems with the upper management level (MES, ERP…), enabling traceability, efficiency, and immediate data-driven decisions.
It is at this point where organizations leave behind manual and fragmented operation, and begin to work with a centralized and secure vision of the entire plant.
