GE Intelligent Platforms: Software upgrades

In order to provide access to accurate, timely production and process data, GE’s Proficy Mobile Tasks, Proficy HMI/SCADA – iFIX, and Proficy HMI/SCADA – CIMPLICITY have been upgraded, and new capabilities have been added that help users take full advantage of the Industrial Internet.

Upgrades to Proficy Mobile Tasks software solution increase process efficiency and quality, while enforcing compliance and reducing time. Proficy Mobile’s patented secure-by-design technology requires no development and can be layered on top of existing systems. Upgrades to the solution allow managers to view and execute workflows, and facilitates a tight integration with SCADA systems for faster response on alarms. It also enables easy configuration for geo-intelligence capabilities, which can be used now with Google Maps.

With Proficy Mobile Tasks, operators and technicians can develop a dynamic task list with interactive, step-by-step instructions. Wherever they are, operators can receive information about upcoming issues and see critical steps that they might need to initiate to prevent that issue from occurring, mitigating the threat of unplanned downtime.

With the solution's Mobile Notes, managers can easily increase collaboration across teams and augment documentation with the latest changes to system parameters. Operators can enter comments, take and attach pictures, and include KPI details, and then, using filters, retrieve any of that information immediately.

Proficy HMI/SCADA ­ CIMPLICITY 9.0 precisely monitors and controls every aspect of a company¹s SCADA environment, equipment, and resources. A set of new capabilities enable companies to develop better applications, improve operators' experience, extend the reach of existing systems, and take advantage of the latest OS and interoperability technologies. The upgraded platform reduces time to value through richer context allowing users to improve structured databases quickly and easily, enabling Real-time Operation Intelligence (RtOI) providing the right information, anytime, anywhere.

New features of CIMPLICITY 9.0 include improved configuration capabilities, better interaction with new, richer protocols, and an improved operator experience with reduced alarm noise. There is also a new object library and long point names allow 256 characters for building a structured database quickly. GE Intelligent Platforms is also including Proficy Historian for SCADA in the new release.

Proficy HMI/SCADA - iFIX 5.8 enables companies to drive better analytics and leverage more reliability, flexibility, and scalability across the enterprise. This real-time information management and SCADA solution includes latest-generation visualization tools and a reliable control engine.

In its newest version, iFIX now supports dynamic resolution for graphics including more efficient rendering and reduced CPU footprint. This capability allows support for deploying iFIX graphics on widescreen monitors, LCD TVs and the ability to move graphics from one resolution to another.
