7 Reasons

7 Reasons Why SCADA Needed To Be?Reinvented

?

Reason #1:?Leverages Modern Technologies?

In the 21st century, we need SCADA software built with the Internet in mind. The New SCADA brings all of the speed, performance, and connection of the web to the world of SCADA. You can download and install it in a few minutes, without installing a driver. You can launch and make changes to clients instantly with one click.

The New SCADA can be set up on a cloud network or a local network. You can launch it to any computer or device with a web browser, such as smartphones and tablets, so you can connect to your system not just on the plant floor but practically anywhere. The New SCADA's mobility allows users to access live data throughout the enterprise, anytime, anywhere. This leads to a much smoother user experience and a much more productive system.

Reason #2: Increased Flexibility

The New SCADA is more than a first-rate HMI, SCADA, MES, and ERP solution; it also provides a rapid development environment for building any type of automated system you need. It’s not uncommon for users who become familiar with Ignition’s full capabilities to develop customized applications and systems that would be impossible with any other SCADA program. Companies can use it to tie all of their assets together, display various types of data, track production and work-in-progress, analyze raw materials, and eliminate paperwork on the plant floor, track sales information and other CRM functions, and much more.

?

Reason #3:?Database-Friendly

The New SCADA also supports any database server and enables users to develop database applications. Users have the freedom to bridge different types of data and make all of it more useful. The database-centric nature of The New SCADA makes the user feel much more empowered because they can gather all of their data in one place.

Reason #4: True Real-Time Analytics

With The New SCADA, it’s easy to obtain real-time and historical data from a variety of sources, put it all into context, and redistribute it. This helps enterprises to get more data seen by more people at more points throughout the process. When an operator gets plant-floor information in real-time, they can take immediate action. Real-time control and monitoring make it possible to quickly see and analyze the status of a facility, and get instant alarm notifications and reports. Now that data is flowing freely between clients and servers instead of being isolated in different systems, key individuals can get a real-time overview of all their data, and the entire company can get more value from it.

?

Reason #5: Rapid Installation & Development?

The New SCADA speeds things up: instead of taking hours, days, or even weeks to?install, it can be downloaded and deployed in a matter of minutes. Instead of limiting the number of active simultaneous developers, its unlimited designer clients allow multiple developers to work on the same project concurrently. You can add functionality or make configuration changes almost instantly with hot-pluggable modules, without shutting down the system. When you upgrade the server, all clients update instantly.

?

Reason #6: Platform Independence?

The New SCADA is the first SCADA software built entirely on the Java programming language, which makes it cross-platform compatible and easily web-deployable. Cross-platform, Java-built Ignition spares its users from dealing with the OS upgrade cycle because it works with every modern version and service pack of?Windows. The New SCADA can run on practically any OS, including open-source, giving users many more options in the software and hardware they use.

?

Reason #7:?Unlimited Licensing

From wire-based telemetry to PC-based?HMI software, the evolution of?SCADA technology teaches us that those who want to succeed in this field must embrace and incorporate new technologies into their processes (see page 9 for more about the history of SCADA). The builders of The New SCADA understood this and set out to not merely improve SCADA software but to design a fundamentally different solution.

The New SCADA is the next step in the evolution of SCADA: a turning point where an aging technology was ushered into the Internet age and given new life. While the elements that comprise The New SCADA are sophisticated, the guiding idea behind it is clear and simple: to build?SCADA software?for the 21st century.
