Wonderware
has just announced three significant new product releases.
This special edition
of the WonderUpdate is being delivered to bring you news of these new
significant product enhancements that will help increase your
productivity, efficiency and profitability though lower engineering

The first of these
releases is the powerful combination of Wonderware System Platform
3.1 and InTouch 10.1 HMI Software. These products deliver great
new features:
System Platform 3.1
- Enhanced
SCADA functionality integrated into System Platform and InTouch
enabling configurable network optimization and timestamp
management to meet requirements of your particular architecture
and lower network bandwidth consumption
- Improved
alarming configuration enabling detailed control of alarm
behavior at runtime
- Improved
user interfaces and scripting, which will help speed development
and configuration of applications
InTouch 10.1
- Built-in
string locale management for ArchestrA symbols enabling rapid
configuration of applications for different language users and
runtime language switching
- New
Trend and Alarm client .NET controls delivering functionality
within ArchestrA symbols and enabling easy faceplate creation
- A
Self-documentation feature - where with a few clicks, users can
create and publish as-built documentation of their HMI
application
"In spite of a
turbulent global economy, initiatives such as sustainability are
continuing to drive investment in software-based performance and
productivity improvement solutions across many infrastructure
operations such as water and wastewater, facilities, transportation
and power distribution," said Craig Resnick, research director
at ARC Advisory Group. "These performance and productivity
solutions, such as those built on the Wonderware System Platform 3.1
and InTouch 10.1, provide the return-on-investment and
return-on-asset justification required by infrastructure operations,
proven out by improvements to key performance indicators (KPIs) such
as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and energy consumption
monitoring that is visualized on HMI software-based digital
dashboards configured with InTouch software."
