SCADA & Industry 4.0
The Future of Smart Automation
SCADA and Industry 4.0 are transforming modern manufacturing with real-time monitoring, data analytics, and AI-driven automation—boosting efficiency, minimizing downtime, and improving decision-making.
- Optimizing Industrial Processes with Real-Time Control
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
SCADA is an advanced system designed for real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes. It enables data collection, analysis, and operational management across production facilities, energy systems, and critical infrastructure. Widely used in sectors such as energy, water supply, and manufacturing, SCADA enhances efficiency, safety, and process reliability.
Our SCADA system
The SCADA system from Cowex A/S is designed to support fish farm operators in managing and optimizing farm operations with precision. By providing real-time data and insights, the system ensures maximum production performance while maintaining optimal conditions for fish welfare.
With advanced monitoring capabilities, the SCADA system enables efficient management of key processes such as water quality control, temperature regulation, and oxygen injection. Any deviations from set parameters trigger instant alarms, which can be integrated with an external call system for rapid response.
All alarms, events, and user actions are logged, allowing for detailed tracking and analysis. This enhances operational transparency, streamlines troubleshooting, and ensures continuous process optimization.
How Does SCADA Work?
SCADA systems function by gathering data from field devices such as sensors and PLCs, transmitting it to a central server, and displaying it through an intuitive user interface. This allows operators to monitor operations in real-time, receive automated alerts, and make informed decisions to optimize performance.
A typical SCADA system includes:
- Sensors & Measuring Devices – Monitor key parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow rates.
- PLCs & RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) – Process signals and manage automation tasks.
Communication - Networks – Ensure seamless data exchange between field devices and the SCADA platform.
- User Interface – Provides real-time data visualization, control options, and system alerts.
Key Benefits of SCADA
SCADA enhances industrial efficiency, reliability, and decision-making by providing:
Track 10,000+ data points every second for continuous process control.
Achieve 15-20% improvement in production efficiency through automation and data-driven decisions.
Cut 30% of unplanned downtime with early fault detection and predictive maintenance.
- Covex A/S RAS Control 4.0™
Total control of the fish farm
RAS Control 4.0™ by Cowex means total control of the fish farm obtained via automatic regulation from the control switchboard, controlled and supervised by the users from web browsers.
Decentral Process Control
To obtain maximum operational reliability RAS Control 4.0™ solutions are designed with decentral process control principles, which is a separation of the process controls individual parts from the centralised supervision.
The process controls parts and the computers integrated in the RAS Control system can be divided into electrical l/O systems, process computers so called PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers) and Operator Computers, typically an ordinary PC or a PC Server System for larger plants.
Process Control
RAS Control 4.0™ by Cowex offers advanced process control for fish farming operations, ensuring optimal conditions for the well-being of your fish and the efficiency of your farm. Through automatic regulation of key parameters such as water flow, oxygen levels, dosing of essential substances, and more, the system guarantees a stable and controlled environment. This intelligent system continuously monitors and adjusts these variables in real time, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving overall farm performance.
With RAS Control 4.0™, you gain complete control over your farm’s processes, ensuring optimal resource utilization and the ability to react promptly to any changes in conditions. The system’s intuitive interface allows for easy supervision and adjustments from any web browser, enabling operators to maintain peak performance effortlessly. Whether it’s adjusting oxygenation levels for different stages of fish growth or optimizing water flow for maximum efficiency, RAS Control 4.0™ ensures that every process is handled with precision and care.
