Longwatch named Wonderware Certified Software Partner

Longwatch, a supplier of video monitoring hardware and software products, has been named by Wonderware as a Certified Software Partner.

Wonderware Software Partner's products are endorsed or certified by Wonderware to be applications with proven compatibility with Wonderware software. Certified software partners have access to Wonderware Beta programs, toolkits and senior technical support people so they can integrate and extend Wonderware software on an ongoing basis.

The Longwatch Video Surveillance System has been integrated with Wonderware’s InTouch HMI, Active Factory, Historian and MES software in several applications. The combination of Wonderware software and Longwatch Video systems allows operators in process control applications to see live and archived video from the plant floor directly on their Wonderware HMI screens. This allows operators to see what is going on in a process plant or factory without having to send someone to the scene. The operator can also 'rewind' the video to see what happened a few seconds or a few hours before an incident.

“We are very pleased with the Wonderware certification,” says Steve Rubin, President of Longwatch. “We’ve been working with Wonderware channel partners for several years, and we have several installations in water, power and pipeline systems that combine our video systems with Wonderware HMI/SCADA software. Achieving this certification delivers even more confidence and value with automation and process control end users.”
