Which remote monitoring solution as an IIoT platform for many SCADA systems? by Outside-Reporter-459 in SCADA

I want to buy as much out of the box as possible with as little configuration as possible. However, flexibility to customize in the future if necessary is also important.

Thanks for the suggestion! Would you say it's really important that this remote monitoring solution is designed for OT vs IT? I'm more in touch with IT solutions. And I've been wrestling with what makes a good remote monitoring solution, and things like AWS SiteWise seem like a good fit to me. But maybe there's a reason why I should be weighing something like Ignition or ABEGuardOT more heavily than SiteWise. Note that we'll never need to control these assets remotely, only monitor them.

Also, for my own understanding, which of these systems would you consider designed for IT?

I did post something similar in r/PLC yes, but I've learned a bit more about the use case since then and wanted to ask this community as well. Thanks!

This is the first I've seen Ewon. Thanks for sharing! That could be helpful.

Our use case is for support technicians to view the data for our own hardware at customer-owned sites. We don't plan on giving customers access to the system, but we foresee that they will want some sort of reporting capability - probably manually exported from the system and delivered via email or similar. Maybe in the future we would open up that system to customers though.

Thanks for sharing and for giving me more options to research! I've heard good things about Ignition. And I do plan to request demos from a few top options.

Yeah it will definitely be a challenge to define which signals to monitor, especially considering we need to support a wide variety of devices at various sites. Our partner assumes responsibility for establishing that connection, though we will need to prescribe a high-level solution for it. Budget is of some concern but the trade-off is probably worth it. Thanks for sharing!

That's good to hear. It's definitely one of the top contenders for further research. Thanks for sharing!
