Wonderware has announced the release of Wonderware System Platform 3.1 and InTouch 10.1, featuring distributed scada, scalability and user productivity enhancements to the Wonderware core software platform and flagship visualisation HMI offerings.
“Wonderware System Platform 3.1 and InTouch 10.1 together deliver the software functionality needed today by users in the geographically distributed scada application space,” says Deon van Aardt, MD of Wonderware Southern Africa.
Wonderware System Platform 3.1 now offers significant benefits for users needing highly distributed, networked software solutions. In addition to scalability from 250 to more than 1 million I/O points, highly distributed applications can be optimised for peak performance over networks ranging in various sizes and speeds. New configuration options are also available, making Wonderware System Platform software even easier for users to engineer pilot projects and roll out applications across multiple locations. In addition to the major product functionality updates, Wonderware System Platform 3.1 extends the flexibility and configurability of the Wonderware Historian, offering more options to optimise storage for the analysis of information from historical data.
InTouch 10.1 builds on its award-winning predecessor and provides increased operations productivity and includes new features that have been most requested by customers. New .NET controls provide highly flexible trending and alarm management capabilities. Enhancements in internationalisation enable a single application to be created and then reused by personnel in locales around the world.
“In spite of a turbulent global economy, initiatives such as sustainability are continuing to drive investment in software-based performance and productivity improvement solutions across many infrastructure operations such as water and wastewater, facilities, transportation and power distribution,” said Craig Resnick, research director at ARC Advisory Group. “These performance and productivity solutions, such as those built into the Wonderware System Platform 3.1 and InTouch 10.1, provide the return-on-investment and return-on-asset justification required by infrastructure operations. This is proved by improvements to key performance indicators such as overall equipment effectiveness and energy consumption monitoring that is visualised on HMI software-based digital dashboards configured with InTouch software.”
“Users are taking advantage of Wonderware System Platform to update the functionality of their existing plants by integrating and extending the life of legacy systems without the need for the expensive re-engineering of subsystems which are proven and operational,” says van Aardt. “This is proving to be a very popular option at this time.”
