Does your organization need AVEVA System Platform OMI?

If your business and its automation maturity have advanced in the past few years, it’s possible that your business has “outgrown” AVEVA InTouch. For enterprises that rely on localized process execution running on one PC, InTouch can be the ideal tool. However, if you find yourself planning for or in current need of greater visibility for an organization that encompasses multiple sites or areas, upgrading to AVEVA System Platform may be worth the investment.

InTouch Unlimited is a standalone SCADA and HMI visualization platform offering unlimited tags, unlimited clients, and quick deployment. It is tailored in cost, function, and ease-of-use for smaller scale operations. System Platform is a package of robust, scalable SCADA software modules designed to be configured centrally from one editing suite. System Platform includes the Operations Management Interface (OMI) module which delivers powerful, responsive graphics for process control and data visualization. Given its modular architecture, System Platform is purpose built for redundant deployments utilized across an organization’s server clusters to minimize process downtime.

Operators can create tags, set up alarms, track historical trends, and configure graphics simultaneously from a central location that can push changes to numerous sites. System Platform is particularly useful for large systems that benefit from the ability to templatize configurations and make bulk updates for common equipment types. The software is built to handle the diverse and complex needs of plants with varying automation standards, equipment, and devices.

Current InTouch users have an advantage in migrating to System Platform due to the similarities in the user interface and workflows. System Platform also includes compatibility for leveraging graphics from InTouch so you can avoid complete redevelopment. Building on this, Enterprise Automation has developed custom tools to further accelerate InTouch to System Platform conversions.

What you get by upgrading to AVEVA System Platform with OMI

• Standardization: System Platform’s object-oriented plant model provides a standardized layer that accommodates variations in data connectivity, alarms, and user interfaces. Standardized sites can take advantage of the ability to push centralized changes without the need for additional editing. Its engineering and data tools enable efficient management of plant models across multiple sites, maximizing reuse to significantly save time.
• Advanced Data Management: System Platform can connect to more data sources in real-time, place them under a unified structure, and ensure they are accessible from any device.
• Centralization: System Platform is designed to scale and integrate with enterprise tools like ERP and MES. It can also consolidate the various InTouch-compatible applications into a single application so all your tools are easily accessible via one platform.
