Building an open-source SCADA + real-time DB (Rust, edge-friendly) I’ve been working with industrial systems for a while, and one thing always bothered me: most SCADA platforms are heavy, complex, and not very friendly for edge deployments. So my cofounder and I started building an open-source SCADA + real-time data platform focused on performance and low resource usage. The idea behind LiRAYS-SCADA is to make industrial data and control systems fast, efficient, and easier to deploy — from constrained edge devices all the way to larger production environments. Some of the goals we’re aiming for: * High-performance real-time data handling * Minimal resource footprint * Clean and practical monitoring + control experience * Extensible architecture for different use cases We’re trying to combine three things that are often treated separately: performance, operational usability, and extensibility.…
