Title
Making everybody comfortable with Erlang: a SCADA system for thermal control.
Abstract
SCADA systems are a kind of industrial control systems which remotely monitor and even operate signal-emitting components, typically those involved in physical industrial processes. SCADA systems have been around for decades, but with the popularization of the so-called ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) they reach a whole new dimension: managing not tens, but tens of thousands of components. Consequently, the application of new technologies that can cope with this change acquires specific relevance. In this work, we postulate Erlang/OTP as a very suitable technology to build a SCADA system, and we present the use case in which we are testing this in practice. We also discuss the expectations in terms of concurrency and distribution, two of Erlang’s widely recognized strengths, that we intend to meet.
