SCADA systems—the control interfaces for power grids, water treatment, and manufacturing—have resisted cloud and web architecture for legitimate reasons: air-gapped security, deterministic latency, vendor lock-in. As containerization, edge computing, and better authentication standards mature, software vendors and industrial operators are converging on browser-based operator stations. This dismantles the last major barrier to proprietary industrial software dominance and opens the market to startups competing directly with 30-year incumbents. Enterprise IT can now integrate these systems into modern DevOps workflows instead of maintaining parallel legacy stacks.
