What is it about?
SCADA is an integral part of every industrial process including water and wastewater treatment facilities. The rise in computational power and the advent of low-cost programmable IoT devices have considerably reduced the cost of infrastructure required for online monitoring and remote surveillance. The work explores the use of low-cost IoT infrastructure to deploy soft sensing algorithms in a remote location.

Why is it important?
1. A low-cost alternative to commercial SCADA. 2. Open source communication scripts. 3. Modular structure, which ensures easy system adaptability.
Perspectives
The authors were sharing their experience with setting up an open-source system for remote access. This was to show that in this age of digitalization, with ubiquitous communication hardware and infrastructure, it should not be a challenge to set up an affordable and secure system for remote monitoring and state estimation.
