How long does SCADA implementation take?
Depends on environment, subcontractors, and system complexity.
But…
Let’s try to narrow it down to a specific timeframe.
First, let’s review the 3 main
phases to SCADA integration.
Phase 1 is when all equipment ordering takes
place.
IN HOUSE CONFIGURATION
SCADA architecture is
then meticulously planned for seamless
integration with existing systems.
The part that takes time in
Phase 2 is waiting for
schedules to coordinate for
onsite configuration.
ONSITE CONFIGURATION
…either waiting for a good
maintenance window or
planning around other
subcontractors.
After onsite integration, it’s
time to thoroughly test
the system.
ONSITE TESTING
A single generator can take an entire day, while a
battery system may only take a
few hours.
So what does that actually look like, in terms of timing?

How to shorten the SCADA project
timeframe
Hire a flexible integrator with in-house project
managers dedicated to
getting projects completed on time.
Allow your integrator to participate in scheduling
conversations. You’ll avoid important
information getting miscommunicated
down the line.
Set a realistic deadline. Those that manage your projects should dig into everything that could possibly impact
the schedule (holidays, subcontractors, extended timelines).
