NetSCADA is an Enterprise Client/Server HMI and SCADA system that allows configuration and monitoring over the Internet. NetSCADA's object-oriented configuration allows users to easily organize and replicate multi-RTU sites in a fraction of the time a traditional SCADA / MMI would require. Combining ease of use with an all inclusive development / runtime package, built in SQL database and unlimited I/O tags, NetSCADA offers the lowest total cost of ownership of any SCADA / HMI system.

Template and database oriented screen/point configuration, combined with powerful historical trending features make NetSCADA comparable to specialized enterprise SCADA host systems costing many times more.
