PLANO, TX, Oct 16, 2026 – Siemens has announced Simcenter SCADAS ES hardware, a modular data acquisition (DAQ) system that lets engineers remotely configure, monitor and validate measurements across laboratory, field and mobile testing environments. The hardware supports multiple users and shares its underlying technology with Simcenter SCADAS RS, which serves rugged outdoor testing applications.
Both systems support Test Connect, a new open hardware-to-software data exchange interface. Customers can use it to develop applications that connect to acquisition systems, stream measurement data to external software and integrate third-party technologies into testing workflows.
“Physical testing remains a critical foundation for engineering confidence, but the way organizations perform testing is evolving rapidly,” said Bruno Massa, vice president, Simcenter Testing Solutions, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “With Simcenter SCADAS ES, we’re helping customers move beyond traditional, isolated testing workflows toward a more connected, scalable approach that delivers trusted, AI-ready data for efficient product verification, while supporting Digital Twin validation and engineering automation initiatives.”
Simcenter SCADAS ES and RS systems are designed to reduce setup work, improve data quality and support collaboration among engineering teams. Both can coexist with testing environments as organizations expand their testing capabilities.
Features available across both Simcenter SCADAS ES and RS systems are:
- Modular expansion across measurement channels, applications, teams and test environments.
- Onboard, license-free software for remote multi-user collaboration.
- Synchronized, annotated and traceable measurements, which Siemens describes as “AI-ready.”
- An open architecture for integration with existing workflows and third-party systems.
- Additional engineering analysis when used with Simcenter Testlab software.
Simcenter SCADAS ES is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. According to Siemens, its measurement data can support simulation correlation, digital twin validation and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
