Some systems are already established and may need a larger software solution.  For example an existing factory with a variety of lines and areas, mainly using networked PLCs would be an example where a SCADA solution may be best.  Networking of existing systems locally and connecting to SCADA software may provide a more simple way to gather data from such a large and wide ranging variety of sources.  RAS can assist with this using SCADA solutions such as MAPS SCADA from Mitsubishi Electric.  Many SCADA solutions offer reporting as part of the software package, this may be sufficient for some customer requirements.  RAS can work with customers as we have extensive knowledge of MAPS SCADA and if required provide local database solutions and report generation as needed.
