Remote monitoring and control

Remote monitoring and control (M&C) systems are designed to control large or complex facilities such as factories, power plants, network operations centers, airports, and spacecraft, with some degree of automation. Remote monitoring and control (M&C) systems are designed to control large or complex facilities such as factories, power plants, network operations centers, airports, and spacecraft, with some degree of automation. M&C systems may receive data from sensors, telemetry streams, user inputs, and pre-programmed procedures. The software may send telecommands to actuators, computer systems, or other devices. M&C systems may perform closed-loop control. Once limited to SCADA in industrial settings, remote monitoring and control is now applied in numerous fields, including: While this field overlaps with machine to machine communications, the two are not completely identical.
