SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)

Cleanrooms designed and manufactured by INEX are equipped with a modern SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) software package—a universal system integrator. It serves to automate, supervise, and provide real-time data collection, processing, display, and archiving of information regarding cleanroom operations. Today, SCADA systems are well-known in industry, thermal power engineering, and the management of engineering networks for cities and territories. Their expansion into building and room dispatching systems began only a few years ago.

Integrated Monitoring and Control

In recent years, clients have sought a unified dispatcher workstation to manage and monitor various subsystems of their facilities. Today, universal SCADA systems are taking center stage in this regard. They can potentially integrate the management of supply and exhaust ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), backup power supply for lighting and electricity, and pumping systems. Furthermore, they can handle the metering of electricity, water, and heat, while ensuring seamless interaction with fire alarms, security systems, and access control.

System Flexibility and Efficiency

When creating dispatching systems, SCADA does not limit the project developer in choosing the system structure, PC operating environment, or the ability to connect new additional devices and functions. A significant advantage of SCADA is the availability of ready-made software elements for various systems and devices, which facilitates the creation of the specific complex required by the client. All these features significantly reduce the labor intensity of monitoring cleanroom systems. For remote users, capabilities are provided to receive system status information via SMS or more detailed information (messages and reports) via E-mail.

Reporting and Standardized Solutions

Another way to reduce labor intensity is through the use of standard report templates. SCADA provides a full set of commercial accounting reports for electricity, heat, and water consumption. The powerful report generator built into the package allows for the creation of reports of any complexity, featuring any graphical or diagrammatic design from any data source.

An important feature of the SCADA package, as a system integrator's tool, is its focus on preserving accumulated expertise. This is achieved through the ability to designate any part of a project as a standard template, store it in a library, and use it in any other projects, utilizing an automated external link recovery service during insertion.

Using the SCADA automation and dispatching system, INEX creates specially adapted, individual versions of the base software package for each of its clients, depending on the specific tasks at hand.
