Next-generation Scada raises the bar
01 September 2010
YOKOGAWA Electric Corporation has launched the next generation Scada software system that has set the standard for operational excellence.
The version R9.03 of the Fast/Tools web-based Scada system is a platform-independent process management software that has been adopted by many innovative industrial automation users worldwide.
This product is a combination of the latest web technology with exceptional quality, resulting in the most advanced Scada solution yet – one that is designed to meet the latest engineering and maintenance requirements in the oil and gas, petrochemical and power industries.
This greatly enhanced version of the Fast/Tools web-based Scada system enables a new and innovative approach to remote engineering and maintenance, deploying process applications and monitoring via web-based services. Its use of the latest technologies and web-based architecture provides management and maintenance personnel easy and secure access to their assets.
Fast/Tools has high-level system integration capabilities, facilitating ever more intuitive and advanced system deployment and significantly reducing costs.
Some of the main features are web-based maintenance, engineering, and application deployment. The latest web technologies are incorporated in the Java-based Fast/Tools engineering and maintenance environment to enable access and execution within standard web browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Numerous benefits are derived from this concept including global access and sharing of data via collaboration centres and other venues, allowing continuous application development and management to take place. Furthermore, a reduction in the number of required paper documents and the higher level of management efficiency made possible by the continuous availability of process information are expected to lead to a reduction in cycle time.
To enhance security, this system and its applications are hardened to protect against unauthorised access and use.
The new engineering and visualisation editor with an advanced sheet- and form-based environment allows for a conveniently arranged framework that tremendously reduces the amount of work required for engineering and visualisation.
The client/host architecture operates securely on the Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003/2008 Server, UNIX, and Linux Redhat platforms.
