Application Areas
Process Control: control systems require reliable server components and dedicated rich displays, so the security can be enforced and you have the full power of the computer. FactoryStudio has the complete set of functionality to implement distributed mission-critical process control applications.
Native applications to iPads and iPhones: A native application can have functionality and quality of a user interface that a web page just cannot match. FactoryStudio allows the same displays created for desktops to also be available to run natively on iOS devices, including the option from the AppleStore.
SQL and OSIsoft(tm) PI System front-end: FactoryStudio has many features to manage SQL Databases, tables and queries in real time. It also has an SDK level data synchronization with OSIsoft(tm) PI System and PI AF(tm). That makes it the number one platform when you need to create custom dynamic graphics and front-ends to those systems.
HMI, embedded and OEMs: FactoryStudio has a wide range of built-in PLC protocols and a special version for Advanced HMI visualization and embedded systems. The version control system, small footprint and remote access made FactoryStudio the best choice to machine builders and OEMs.
Performance Monitoring: The ability to create a presentation layer that is source independent and cloud-ready, make FactoryStudio an excellent tool to create Operational Dashboards, Historian, Manufacturing Intelligence (MI), Operational Dashboards, OEE and KPI calculation and situational-awareness applications.
SCADA, MES and PIMS: Besides having the full spectrum of expected SCADA functionality, FactoryStudio extended the real-time database concepts to include advanced objects, such as data tables, dynamic arrays and images, time events, all with a tied connection with .NET calculation engine, makes it the best possible platform for Plant Information Management Systems or any application targeting the management and presentation of real-time information.
