EMS vs. SCADA

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are traditionally used for controlling production processes and are typically deployed on-premises. These systems require dedicated hardware and ongoing maintenance, including regular updates and system upgrades, which can make them a costly solution over time and have necessary IT and maintenance team dedicate to it. In contrast, Energy Storage EMS is a modern, integrated solution designed for energy management. Built on a SaaS (Software as a Service) architecture, EMS eliminates the need for expensive on-premises infrastructure and maintenance. Updates and improvements are handled regularly by the service provider, ensuring the system remains up-to-date without additional effort or cost to the user. While SCADA excels at managing complex on-premises production processes with precision for data acquisition and control, it comes with higher long-term costs due to its maintenance requirements. EMS, on the other hand, offers a cost-effective and efficient solution. In a turnkey BESS solution, it combines control, monitoring, and energy optimization in a single platform, making it ideal for energy storage and management applications.
