Wireless technologies are rapidly being adapted from simple monitoring and control to supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Wireless provides highly reliable data communications in harsh and interference-heavy environment. In this article, new wireless SCADA system has been built to control Al-Najaf cement plant wirelessly. Two pieces of nanostation5 (5GHz) which utilize the Wi-Fi wireless technology and IEEE802.11/g standard were used. They used as transceiver for transmitting and receiving the information between master station (MS) and remote terminal units (RTUs). CIMON devices from KDT systems for experimental set-up were used. A more detailed focus on Iraq cement plants using wireless technologies for monitoring and control of the whole process as an application also was presented.
