      FAQs

      What is CIMPLICITY SCADA?
      SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are used to monitor, control, and optimize industrial operations by collecting data from across the plant floor and presenting it in a usable format for operators. SCADA software supports visualization, alarm management, data logging, and centralized control—helping teams increase productivity, reduce downtime, and ensure safe operations.

      Proficy CIMPLICITY is one of GE Vernova’s Proficy SCADA offerings, designed for high-performance and high-volume applications. It is well-suited for large and fast-moving operations and is widely used in industries such as automotive, power generation, and transportation. CIMPLICITY is known for its scalability, advanced scripting capabilities, and ability to support enterprise-wide architectures.

      What is enterprise SCADA?
      Enterprise SCADA refers to a SCADA system architecture that is centrally deployed and managed, often spanning multiple sites, facilities, or production lines. It can take the form of a single centralized SCADA instance or a distributed deployment with localized control at each site, all tied together under a central supervisory system.

      This model supports organization-wide visibility and control, helping companies streamline operations, standardize processes, and manage large volumes of data from across geographically dispersed assets. Enterprise SCADA is especially valuable for organizations looking to reduce infrastructure duplication and improve oversight across multiple locations.

      How does enterprise SCADA differ from traditional SCADA systems?
      While traditional SCADA systems are typically deployed at the plant or site level, enterprise SCADA expands that architecture to manage operations across multiple facilities or lines from a centralized location. Functionally, both types offer data collection, visualization, and control—but enterprise SCADA emphasizes scalability, centralized configuration, and robust remote access.

      Enterprise SCADA systems also typically incorporate stronger redundancy, security, and data consolidation capabilities to support organization-wide performance and reliability. Proficy CIMPLICITY supports these capabilities with flexible architectures that scale across sites while maintaining centralized control, making it a strong choice for multi-site operations where consistency, compliance, and efficiency are essential.

      What are the benefits of using enterprise SCADA for multi-site operations?
      Enterprise SCADA enables centralized monitoring and control across multiple sites, helping organizations standardize operations, reduce duplication, and improve responsiveness. With one system overseeing many facilities, teams gain unified visibility, faster decision-making, and easier coordination of production, maintenance, and quality efforts across locations.

      This approach also reduces infrastructure overhead by minimizing the need for separate hardware and applications at each site. Solutions like Proficy CIMPLICITY support centralized deployment and configuration, helping reduce total cost of ownership while simplifying system updates, maintenance, and security management across the enterprise.

      What industries benefit the most from enterprise SCADA systems?
      Industries with large-scale, complex operations or geographically dispersed facilities gain the most from enterprise SCADA. This includes utilities, power generation, automotive, transportation, and industrial manufacturing, where centralized control helps ensure consistent performance, regulatory compliance, and resource efficiency.

      Enterprise SCADA is ideal for organizations that need to manage a large number of I/O points, enforce standardized procedures across multiple locations, or monitor and control operations in real time from a central location. A strong and reliable network infrastructure is typically required to support the scale and communication needs of these environments.

      What are the key features to look for in an enterprise SCADA solution?
      Key features of enterprise SCADA include centralized configuration and deployment, scalability to support a large number of I/Os and client nodes, and robust redundancy and security. The ability to handle high volumes of alarms, securely manage remote connections, and standardize operations across multiple facilities is also essential.

      Proficy CIMPLICITY supports these enterprise-level capabilities with advanced architecture, strong integration tools, and scalable historian options. Its ability to manage large data volumes and support role-based access across sites makes it well-suited for organizations looking to centralize and grow their SCADA operations efficiently and securely.

      How does enterprise SCADA integrate with ERP and other enterprise systems?
      Enterprise SCADA systems often need to exchange data with ERP platforms and other business systems to align operational activity with business goals. Common integration points include production schedules, material usage, quality data, and equipment performance. These data exchanges help bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT).

      Integration is typically achieved through REST APIs, SQL-based communication, or middleware tools that facilitate secure, two-way data flow. Proficy CIMPLICITY supports these integration methods, enabling organizations to connect plant-floor operations with enterprise systems for better visibility, coordination, and decision-making across the business.
