According to ICONICS, its "360° Of Visualization For Real-Time Operational Excellence" seminar may aid in improving your engineering productivity up to 60 percent. More specifically, the company believes that this seminar can contribute to your achieving 360° of visualization and interoperability, by simply presenting you with the ability to review next-generation software solutions based on 64-bit, Windows Server 2008 and .NET technologies. The largest cost of any automation project is application development: For an average project, this can be well more than 60 percent of the total expenditure, according to the company. ICONICS' solutions, in contrast, employ open standards, which allow you to rapidly integrate new and existing systems into a unified management platform, resulting in both cost savings and a better bottom line. ICONICS says that plant engineers, IT and operation managers, system integrators and automation directors should plan to attend this seminar to learn about the benefits of:
- Point and click, intuitive configuration and visualization.
- Visual overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), key performance indicators (KPIs) and analysis for operational excellence.
- Universal data connectivity with Unified Architecture (OPC-UA).
- Real-time Web-based applications.
- 64-bit plant historians.
- Geographical information technology for enterprise visualization.
- Integrating 3D into HMI/SCADA applications.
- Alarm analytics and management reporting.
- Wireless connectivity and communication.
- Applying role-based, KPI dashboards.
