He's talking about SCADA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCADA)

Sounds really impressive. If anyone has ever worked with PLCs you know what a nightmare it is to interface with them and deal with their primitve data types. Not to mention programming them in ladder logic (yeah, most industrial machines are still programmed in ladder logic straight from the 1800s.)

So he's not kidding, this is a BIG deal.
