CitectSCADA users can now access plant and security information from 
their SCADA network via their PDA, thin-client terminal or laptop 
computer, without compromising valuable plant data security.

The new addition to CitectSCADA allows operational and management 
personnel to monitor their factories, plants and mining sites from any 
location, enhancing the value of a SCADA network, says Citect.

The solution works on a web-based client, allowing remote factory and 
plant technicians to view data saved on their SCADA network via Windows 
Internet Explorer. Data accessed remotely is not saved on the mobile PDA 
or computer but remains on the central server, meaning security won’t be 
compromised if the device is lost.

The mobile aspect of CitectSCADA is fully maintenance-free, and also for 
all clients to be managed from a central location, reducing the 
operational overheads associated with control system maintenance, 
according to Citect.
