The press
conference held by Invensys during the SPS IPC Drives Expo in Nuremberg earlier this week attracted
more than double the journalists it expected. It’s new offerings in mobility and HMI/SCADA
situation awareness libraries generated a lot of interest not only among
journalists but also the numerous visitors to its booth as it could be seen in
the image below.

The Invensys products currently available for mobile use include:
Mobile HMI—WonderwareInTouch Access Anywhere software lets users
view and control real-time plant floor operations data using a secure web
browser.
Mobile Wonderware Workflow—With Wonderware Workflow software, you
can model entire workflows involving people and systems, as well as the proper
task sequencing and dependencies. Wonderware Workflow softwaremtracks each
work step and records the outcome so you have the detail you need to properly
evaluate work performance and fine tune your work flows.
Mobile Asset Management –Avantis software offerings provide
maintenance management, spares and inventory management and a complete
procurement capability. This base capability is extended through powerful
condition monitoring and management capabilities that can turn huge volumes of
production data into actionable asset intelligence in real-time.
Mobile Intelligence—Wonderware Intelligence enterprise
manufacturing intelligence (EMI) software provides an information framework,
taking Wonderware and non-Wonderware-derived operations data sources to
calculate, contextualize, store and present operational key performance
indicators.
Mobile MAS—The Mobile Extension for the Invensys Off-sites Movement
Automation System (MAS) executes manual field procedures to prepare the line
setup for tank farm inventory movements, and communicates updated equipment
status in real-time to the control system.
Training & Simulation—3D immersive virtual reality training is a
reality through SimSci EYESIM software. It brings the training to workers by
simulating real-life conditions in the field for plant start up, maintenance
and shut down.
Mobile Reporting—SmartGlance mobile reporting software pushes
up-to-date KPIs and plant data to a smartphone or tablet, so users are never
out of touch with plant performance.
Mobile Operations—IntelaTrac software is a mobile workforce
management and decision support solution that helps ensure that operators
follow best practices and help drive higher plant reliability.
In
the new InTouch HMI software, Style Libraries are offered that allow the user
to choose color palettes that conform to ASM Consortium guidelines or
High-Performance HMI recommendations. These style definitions can also be
altered to fit a company’s unique requirements. The ultimate goal of the new
InTouch capabilities is focused on creating greater situational awareness for
operators. The System Platform supporting the new InTouch software ensures that
the information shown on the screen is put into context for the operator
through the design templates offered. Initial testing indicates that use of
InTouch’s new style definitions and standardized colors can help customers
reduce situation interpretation time by 40 percent.
