MicroScan SCADA: Real-Time Plant Visibility for Quality, Compliance, and Performance
In highly regulated manufacturing environments, real-time monitoring, data integrity, and full traceability are essential to delivering consistent product quality and maintaining regulatory compliance. MicroScan SCADA, developed by Intech Instruments, is a powerful Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that delivers complete, plant-wide visibility to help manufacturers detect, analyse, and resolve quality issues as they occur — not after the fact.
Designed to be flexible and fully compliant with industry standards, MicroScan SCADA forms a critical part of a modern, integrated Quality Management ecosystem.
Built for Compliance in Regulated Industries
MicroScan SCADA is engineered to support the most demanding regulatory and quality assurance frameworks, including:
- The ISO 9000 series, including AS/NZS ISO 9001:2016
- Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ)
- United States FDA requirements for secure manufacturing records
To meet FDA data integrity standards, MicroScan records monitoring data in non-editable binary format files, preventing the falsification or manipulation of production records. This delivers an uncompromising level of data trust and audit integrity.
Seamless Integration with Ostendo Continuum (ERP)
MicroScan SCADA integrates directly with Ostendo Continuum (ERP), allowing critical production and quality data to flow automatically from the plant floor into your core business system.
This enables manufacturers to:
- Capture real-time process data directly against production batches
- Record temperature, pressure, time, and process variables for full traceability
- Link SCADA readings to:
- Work orders
- Batches and lots
- Products and formulations
- Support Quality Assurance and regulatory compliance directly within the ERP
This integration is particularly valuable for industries such as:
- Food and beverage
- Natural products and nutraceuticals
- Pharmaceuticals
- Chemicals and coatings
Turning Process Data into Quality Intelligence
By combining MicroScan SCADA with Ostendo Continuum and Business Intelligence, manufacturers gain far more than data collection — they gain actionable quality intelligence.
Captured SCADA data can be used to:
- Track critical control points
- Validate production conditions
- Support batch release decisions
- Analyse quality trends over time
- Identify process instability before defects occur
Built-in KPIs, dashboards, and reporting uncover patterns, deviations, and improvement opportunities that would otherwise remain hidden.
From Compliance to Continuous Improvement
MicroScan SCADA supports far more than compliance — it enables Continuous Quality Improvement. With full historical data and live monitoring, your business can:
- Reduce variation in production processes
- Improve yield and consistency
- Minimise waste and rework
- Strengthen audit outcomes
- Increase customer confidence
Instead of reacting to problems after product failures occur, your organisation moves to a predictive, prevention-based quality model.
MicroScan + Ostendo: A Complete Digital Quality Loop
When MicroScan SCADA and Ostendo Continuum (ERP) work together, your business gains a fully closed-loop quality environment that connects:
- Plant-floor monitoring
- Production control
- Quality assurance
- Compliance reporting
- Continuous improvement
This creates a single, trusted source of operational and quality truth across your entire manufacturing enterprise.
Plant Visibility You Can Trust. Data Integrity You Can Prove.
With MicroScan SCADA, manufacturers gain the confidence that:
- Every critical process is monitored
- Every key measurement is captured
- Every record is secure and tamper-proof
- Every quality decision is backed by verified data
