A remote terminal unit (RTU) is a microprocessor-controlled electronic device that interfaces objects in the physical world to a distributed control system or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system by transmitting telemetry data to a master system, and by using messages from the master supervisory system to control connected objects.
RTU’s remote monitoring functions can be used for Oil and gas (offshore platforms, onshore oil wells, pump stations on pipelines), Networks of pump stations (waste water collection, or for water supply), Environmental monitoring systems (pollution, air quality, emissions monitoring), Mine sites and Air traffic equipment such as navigation aids (DVOR, DME, ILS and GP). RTU’s remote monitoring and control functions can be used for Hydro-graphic (water supply, reservoirs, sewage systems), Electrical power transmission networks and associated equipment, Natural gas networks and associated equipment, Outdoor warning sirens and The Biosphere II project, etc.
The Industrial Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) market competition will be still intense, including many prominent vendors with products that have a wide scope of applications. ABB is the leading manufacturer in the global Industrial Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) market with the market share of 9.59%, in terms of revenue, followed by General Electric, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Siemens, Emerson, Rockwell Automation, Motorola Solutions, Advantech, Yokogawa, Red Lion, Arteche, Iskra Sistemi, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories and Dongfang Electronics. The top 15 above companies accounted for 80% of the market share in 2019. The big vendors have a large portfolio of grid-related products, which can be customized depending on customer needs, making the market competitive. This is a challenge for medium and small vendors.
