SCADA systems allow real-time data from the plant floor to be accessed from anywhere. This access to real-time information allows businesses and individuals to make data-driven decisions about how to improve their processes. Advance SCADA applications have rapid application development capabilities and it utilizes the power of SQL databases provides huge advantages over antiquated SCADA software. Historical data from Advance SCADA system allows for easier data analysis through data trending & reporting.

Using modern IT standards and practices such as SQL and web-based applications into Advance SCADA software has greatly improved the efficiency, security, productivity, and reliability of SCADA systems.

Features of Advance SCADA Systems

8_Intelligence Maintenance

Intelligence Maintenance

Provides quick overview of all service actions in the factory. In connection with alarm notifications, the repair process is faster and more effective. the number of downtimes and unexpected errors is minimized allowing a rapid cost reduction when changing the spare parts.

9_Auditing & Checklist

Audits & Checklists

Business Compliance and Auditing is the important aspect as part of the business certifications. Advance SCADA systems provides required tools for various level of certifications and user can create daily operational and maintenance check lists required for Manufacturing Operations.

10_Management Dashboards

Management Dashboards

System can generate complex and time-consuming manufacturing reports & dashboards required for the management professional and that get distributed both internally and externally over emails. It will help to take quicker board room decisions.

11_Historian

Data Historian

It will collect data from various sources like PLC, DCS, Sensors, HMI, MES, ERP & etc Systems. It stores data in the data base, user can archive, retrieve, and convert into useful information.

10_Management Dashboards

Remote Monitoring

System allows to access from anywhere in mobile/PC with highest security, it brings faster and secure communication from anywhere.

21CFR Part11 Compliance Solution using SCADA:

Regulation 21 CFR Part 11 “Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures” of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took effect. 21 CFR Part 11 (Part 11 in short) defines the acceptance criteria of the FDA for the use of electronic records and electronic signatures in place of records in paper form and hand-written signatures on paper. In this regard, electronic records and signatures must be as trustworthy, reliable, and effective as traditional records. The implementation of this regulation for electronic records and signatures is mandatory.

The FDA standards are applied beyond the pharmaceuticals industry in other life sciences (such as the food industry, cosmetics and consumer care).

21 CFR Part 11 assumes that the risk of manipulation, misinterpretation, and changes without trace is higher with electronic records and electronic signatures than with conventional paper records and handwritten signatures or are more difficult to detect. Additional measures are required for this reason. “Electronic Record” / “Electronic Document” means any combination of text, graphics, data, audio, pictorial, or other representation of information in digital form that is created, modified, maintained, archived, retrieved or distributed by a computer system i.e. using SCADA – Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems.

FDA Requirements and Features Provided by SCADA

1_System Validation

Validation

All GMP-relevant automated systems are validated to ensure precise, reliable, and consistent data preparation in accordance with the standards.

2_Audit Trail

Audit Trails

All operator actions which create modify or delete an electronic record are recorded in a secure, time-stamped, computer-generated audit trail.

3_Records Retention

Document Controls

Controls exist over access to, revision of, distribution of, and use of documentation for system operation and maintenance

4_Document Controls

Record Retention, Protection, Reproducibility and Retrievability

SCADA Systems having capabilities to retain, protect and readily retrieve records throughout the established retention period. Systems are able to reproduce electronic records in both human readable and electronic form.

5_Acess Security

Access security

Limit access to only authorized, qualified personnel. In open systems, additional security measures are implemented to ensure this.

6_Electronic Signature

Electronic signature

Provide measures to ensure that use is limited to genuine owners only and that attempted use by others is promptly detected and recorded. Systems will include measures to prohibit falsification of electronic signatures using standard tools. Written policies are in place which hold individuals responsible for actions initiated under their electronic signatures.
