Software control and monitoring tools for SA industry

SCADA/HMI

August 2002 SCADA/HMI

Systems Automation & Management (SAM) is one of the larger value-added resellers of automation equipment to the metals and mining industry in South Africa. Products offered range from market-leading brands of scada, PLCs and drives, to niche market networking and disaster recovery systems.

Through its turnkey project experience, a need for software control and monitoring tools was identified. The constantly changing development, commissioning and maintenance environment means that the risk of losing a portion (or all) of a project's data is a reality.

The VersionWorks product, popular in Europe for disaster recovery and data asset management of automation systems, has been implemented in SAM's engineering department as the first step to marketing the product in South Africa.

Easily adapted to the engineering environment of a system integrator, and to mining or processing plant applications the product's scalable, modular and flexible software architecture provides for customer's individual requirements. Advantages would include:

* Speedy disaster recovery after loss of data.

* Software control to ISO standards.

* Notification of change to application data via SMS or e-mail.

* Version control and monitoring of all project data via automated backups.

* Change history.

* Additional software security.

* Fast return on investment.

VersionWorks supports the major brand automation products used in the metals and mining sector of industry.
