## [How Human Machine Interfacing Improves Efficiencies](https://www.tiga.us/blog/how-human-machine-interfacing-improves-efficiencies)

 By [TIGA](https://www.tiga.us/blog/author/tiga) on Apr 3, 2019

[![](https://www.tiga.us/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(2).png) ](https://www.tiga.us/blog/how-human-machine-interfacing-improves-efficiencies)

 

Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) are user interfaces or dashboards that connect a person to a machine, system, or device. And even though the term "HMI" can be applied to any type of screen or monitor that allows a human user to interact with a machine or device, the benefits of HMI's are not readily understood in the industrial space. Keep reading to discover how smart companies are capitalizing on HMI's to increase their overall operational efficiencies.

## [What Is The Difference Between PLC And SCADA?](https://www.tiga.us/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-plc-and-scada)

 By [TIGA](https://www.tiga.us/blog/author/tiga) on Feb 19, 2019

[![](https://www.tiga.us/hubfs/PLC_SCADA.png) ](https://www.tiga.us/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-plc-and-scada)

 

PLC and [SCADA](https://www.tiga.us/blog/what-is-scada-and-how-it-increases-efficiency) are both used to monitor and control equipment in [process automation](https://info.stonewallco.com/blog/automation-to-the-rescue) across many different industries, such as telecommunications, water and waste control, energy,[ oil and gas](https://www.tiga.us/blog/what-can-the-new-scada-do-for-your-oilfield-automation), and transportation.

Because of the technological complexities of these modern day systems understanding how each plays its part can be rather confusing.

*“If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no.” - Derek Sivers*

 

We should all take a page out of Derek Sivers book of wisdom above, but the sad truth is that we simply say "yes" to too many things.

Entrepreneurship is all the buzz these days.

Employees quit their jobs or leave other opportunities to [chase their dream](https://www.tiga.us/blog/downtown-welcomes-new-oilfield-tech-talent) or join in the pursuit of someone else’s. It’s fun, exciting, and a bit nerve-racking. But even scarier is the fact that at most given moments, more businesses are closing or shutting down at an often faster rate.

## [What Is SCADA and How It Increases Efficiency](https://www.tiga.us/blog/what-is-scada-and-how-it-increases-efficiency)

 By [John Miller](https://www.tiga.us/blog/author/john-miller) on Oct 10, 2018

**Supervisory control and data acquisition** ([**SCADA**](https://www.tiga.us/services-1/scada)) is a control system architecture that uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory management, but uses other peripheral devices such as programmable logic controller(PLC) and discrete PID controllers to interface with the [process plant or machinery](https://www.rotatingsolutionsinc.com/news/technology-every-oilfield-manufacturing-company-needs-in-todays-market). The operator interfaces which enable monitoring and the issuing of process commands, such as controller set point changes, are handled through the SCADA computer system. However, the real-time control logic or controller calculations are performed by networked modules which connect to the field sensors and actuators.
