Adroit‘s new version 7 capabilities exceeds customers’ expectations.
Adroit Technologies announced the release of version 7 in May 2008 and since then, according to the company, the product and the new features have exceeded customers expectations. The new version 7.0.4 includes a number of functional and performance-enhancing features, including alarm delays and conditioning at the alarming level instead of the alarm management level, which enables users to filter alarming at source instead of only at the management level and removes the disparities between alarm analysis data and real world alarm presentation to the operator. This contributes further to an improved advanced alarm management strategy.
Mike Lamusse, technical director of Adroit Technologies, “We identified that there is enormous value in a good and well constructed alarm strategy. Along with historical data in the form of trends, the alarms and events generated in any process are the live indicators that operators use to run and optimise the process. Adroit has always had the capability to allow users to log events and alarms into a database but this required that they develop the queries and reporting to support the analysis and business intelligence aspects.
“Given that the source of all the data is the scada we took the decision that in version 7.0 of the product we would incorporate the first release of our Alarm Management Agent. This new Agent plugs directly into the Agent Server and works on top of existing alarm configurations to allow users, through simple configuration, to store enhanced relational alarm data to an SQL database. The structure of the data allows for easier information extraction as provided by the built-in Alarm Management queries and external applications such as Adroit’s Alarm Analysis tool.”
