May 2009 News

Wonderware has added Echelon and ConneXSoft to the Wonderware Innovation Partner Network in line with the company’s commitment to develop open and integrated solutions for facility and energy conservation management applications.

Wonderware and Echelon solutions have already been used together extensively worldwide. This partnership enables the two companies to continue to work closely together on technical integration of their key technologies, including Echelon’s i.LON, SmartServer and Wonderware System Platform software built on open industry standards-based ArchestrA technology.

ConneXSoft’s specialty in connectivity for facilities management applications enables Wonderware customers to integrate data acquisition servers, objects and engineering tools with industry-leading Wonderware HMI and scada systems.

Wonderware will work closely with these companies to develop new, cooperative energy and facility conservation solutions. In addition, each partner will participate in new business development and joint marketing activities worldwide.
