01. Core functions and architecture of SCADA system

SCADA（Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition， Data acquisition and monitoring system (SCADA) is a key infrastructure in the field of industrial automation, and its core functions include:

1. Data collection

Real time collection of production line data through distributed sensor networks (such as temperature, vibration, current, visual detection, etc.), with a sampling frequency typically ≥ 10Hz, ensures high-precision monitoring.

Supports multiple industrial communication protocols (Modbus, OPC UA, Profinet, CAN bus, etc.) and is compatible with devices from different manufacturers.

2. Data Processing and Analysis

Data cleaning (excluding outliers, filtering and denoising)

Real time calculation (KPIs such as OEE, MTBF, defect rate, etc.)

Automated alarm based on rule engine (such as SPC over limit warning)

3. Visual monitoring

Dynamic HMI (Human Machine Interface) displays the status of the production line

Visualization tools such as trend charts, dashboards, alarm logs, etc

4. Control and Optimization

Production scheduling, quality traceability, and energy efficiency optimization based on data analysis

Integrating MES/ERP system to achieve production scheduling optimization

5. Transparency in the production process

Real time tracking of order progress

Automatic verification of process parameters

Immediate interception of quality defects

02. The Core Application of SCADA in Surface to Surface Interconnection

The core application of SCADA system (data acquisition and monitoring control system) in surface mount interconnection (such as SMT surface mount machine) is mainly reflected in real-time data acquisition, remote monitoring and intelligent control, as well as production efficiency and quality control optimization. ‌ ‌

Real time data collection and monitoring

The SCADA system collects key parameters during the production process of the surface mount machine in real time through sensors and PLC, such as temperature, pressure, equipment status, etc., and transmits the data to the central control room for visual display. For example, the networking rate of SMT surface mount machines in the electronics industry can reach 100%, achieving real-time tracking of production progress and automatic verification of process parameters.

Remote control and abnormal warning

The system supports remote adjustment of device parameters and sets 500+abnormal judgment rules to achieve instant warning. ‌ ‌

Production efficiency and quality control

Optimize production processes through data analysis and reduce rework rates through real-time interception of quality defects. In addition, the system can generate energy consumption heat maps to help identify high energy consuming links and optimize energy use. ‌ ‌

Equipment lifecycle management

SCADA monitors equipment utilization and failure rates in real-time through OEE dashboards, helping enterprises achieve intelligent equipment maintenance.

03. Key Technologies for Surface to Surface Interconnection

In the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production line, the combination of SCADA system and SMT interconnection is mainly reflected in:

1. Realize intelligent monitoring of machine positioning
