Advanced SCADA Unlocks the Power of Real-time Data

Smart manufacturing - the collection, visualization, and analysis of data for the optimization of manufacturing operations - requires shifting to a more fully-connected factory made up of an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). These "things" are smart and always connected.

Open software platforms like those developed by ICONICSmake it possible to unify, analyze and mobilize data in real-time across disparate devices.

Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Foxborough, MA near Boston, ICONICS has been a developer of advanced automation software for 35 years. Its products are operating in nearly every industry, with 375,000 installations in more than 100 countries around the world. It has been recognized more than six times as a Microsoft Partner of the Year for its solutions built on Microsoft technology. Designed as a tool to be applied to any application by end users and domain experts, the ICONICS Suite is one of the most flexible offerings on the market.

ICONICS has now combined cutting edge IoT software technology with edge computing and its proven HMI/SCADA, analytics and mobile solutions running in the cloud to create the solution called IoTWorX. This hybrid solution of remotely managed, on-premises value, combined with cloud analytics, offers manufacturers and facility managers several key IoT technologies. These include broad-based connectivity to assets, secure communications to the cloud and both on-premises and cloud-delivered visualization.

Analytics at the edge results in minimized latency and on-premises reliability while leveraging remote management to significantly reduce deployment and maintenance costs. Users can connect to virtually any automation equipment through supported industry protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT, BACnet, SNMP, Modbus, databases and web services. Dozens of device drivers compatible with industry standards are available through a partnership with Takebishi, the leading global supplier of device connectivity.

This solution takes maximum advantage of Microsoft's Azure cloud services, publish-subscribe architecture and applications for maximum efficiency, security and scalability. Scalable provisioning and device management services enable rapid deployments, lifecycle management, and device and application updates.

IoTWorX allows users to:

• Publish data securely to and from the cloud
• Visualize dashboards on any glass
• Drill down into enterprise KPIs
• Remotely monitor and control assets
• Integrate with new and existing equipment
• Streamline the user experience
