IIoT: Driving a new wave of HMI and SCADA

Aug. 13, 2025
The integration of IIoT devices into HMI and SCADA platforms is revolutionizing industrial operations by enabling real-time data collection from smart sensors and wireless transmitters

As human-machine interfaces (HMI) and SCADA technologies continue to evolve, IIoT device integration is becoming increasingly important, according to an article from Automation World.

“We’re seeing widespread use of smart sensors, energy meters and wireless transmitters feeding data directly into HMI/SCADA platforms," Emerson's Silvia Gonzalez told Automation World. "It’s a shift that is fundamentally transforming how operations are monitored, visualized and optimized.”

Industry professionals from Emerson, Yokogawa, Siemens and more weighed in on the impact of IIoT on HMI and SCADA technologies, citing their value in amassing large amounts of data and critical cloud connection as a few reasons for its importance.
