What is a remote industrial control system?

Remote Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are systems used to monitor and control industrial processes from a distance, often using networked technologies. These systems can manage operations such as manufacturing, energy distribution, water treatment, and more, allowing operators to supervise and adjust processes without being physically present. Remote ICS typically involve components like sensors, controllers (such as PLCs), communication networks, and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Their remote capabilities help improve efficiency, safety, and real-time response to issues in complex industrial environments.
