SCADA and Industrial IoT (IIoT) are often discussed as competing technologies. From an engineering perspective, they typically solve different problems. SCADA provides supervisory monitoring and control of industrial processes. IIoT extends operational data across systems, sites, and applications. In many modern architectures, they work together. What Is SCADA? SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, provides operators with centralized visibility and supervisory c
