We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Scada System",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Monitoring system protects huge gas terminal from
Citect, which we summarised at the time by saying "Total EandP UK intends to use the scalability of CitectScada to get another 25 years out of the St Fergus Terminal".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release The importance of redundancy in Scada systems from
Citect: "Steve Flannagan of Citect advises how to protect production against failures in Scada systems".
In November 2007, we covered the news from ARC Advisory Group
- take a look at Scada growth accelerates
which says: "ARC has analysed the Scada market by geographic region, project size and component type, including hardware, software and services".
Take a look also at the news release from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK, Analytical tool suits Scada system,
as well as Rotary position sensors measure displacement from Macro Sensors,
and Computer handles flow management from Control Microsystems.
