SCADA and HMI Systems
Software That Gives You Visibility, Diagnostics, Standards & Control Across Your Operation
SCADA and HMI systems provide real-time monitoring, control, and visibility across industrial operations. At Stratos Control Systems, we design and implement SCADA and HMI solutions that improve system performance, enhance operator control, and support data-driven decision-making.
​
We work with engineering and operations teams across manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and infrastructure, delivering systems that integrate seamlessly with PLC programming and existing automation environments.
SCADA & HMI FAQs
What is SCADA?
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system used to monitor, control, and collect data from industrial processes in real time.
It provides dashboards, alarms, and insights that help operators manage performance and detect faults.
What is HMI in automation?
HMI (Human Machine Interface) is the interface that allows operators to interact with machines and control systems. It displays system status and provides controls for operating equipment safely and efficiently.
What industries use SCADA systems?
SCADA systems are used in industries that require real-time monitoring and control of processes. These include manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, energy, and logistics.
How do SCADA systems work?
SCADA systems collect data from PLCs and field devices, process that data, and display it through dashboards and interfaces. Operators can monitor performance, receive alarms, and control processes in real time.
SCADA Systems Designed for Real-World Industrial Use
Many industrial sites operate with limited insight into how systems are performing, relying on reactive maintenance and manual intervention when faults occur. Poor visibility leads to downtime, inefficiency, and increased operational risk.
​
Stratos Control Systems delivers practical SCADA and HMI solutions designed to support day-to-day operations, maintenance, and long-term performance improvement.
​
Our SCADA systems are built to be:
-
Clear and intuitive for operators
-
Informative for engineers and maintenance teams
-
Scalable for future expansion
-
Integrated with existing control systems
Common SCADA & HMI Challenges We Solve
We are frequently engaged to resolve visibility and SCADA monitoring systems challenges such as:
