Web access to HMI/SCADA

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has released Proficy Cimplicity GlobalView, a scalable application that delivers the Cimplicity application to remote clients enabling real-time monitoring, data analysis and plant floor control from within a web browser.

Cimplicity GlobalView is designed to enable full viewing and control of plant operations and expands the native integration of Cimplicity with GE Fanuc’s other Proficy software.

GlobalView provides a full-featured HMI/SCADA client delivered over the web so operators, engineers and managers can view, react and operate from wherever they are. This enables efficient response to situations avoiding significant downtime, lost batches or catastrophic events. It also transforms the way teams work and collaborate because with GlobalView, multiple users can connect to the same system to analyse the situation and make quick fact-based decisions. Users also don’t have to compromise functionality or rewrite current applications in order to get accessibility. Ease of installation makes this a quick add-on for existing and new systems.

GlobalView also extends GE Fanuc’s existing footprint in HMI/SCADA to knowledge workers not on or directly tied to the plant floor. GlobalView also introduces the Relay Server, which makes deploying HMI/SCADA on a massive scale possible. With a Relay Server deployed in the GlobalView architecture and multiple GlobalView servers underneath, customers have the ability to globalise their applications and support hundreds of simultaneous users with the only limitation being server hardware.
