The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech (Cincinnati, OH) introduces Advantech Studio 6.1, a web-enabled HMI/SCADA software tool that enables control and monitoring facility operations through the Internet from anywhere outside the location.

Personnel can maintain a constant vigil for occurring alarms with Advantech's Studio's page and e-mail warning capabilities. It's a simple drag and drop, point and click development environment that runs on various configurations of the Windows platform, from powerful redundant workstations using the latest Intel processors and Windows server software, to simple handheld PDAs and "smart phones" that use Windows CE/Windows Mobile technology. It also runs on diskless embedded processors and Panel PCs as well as supports web-based applications.

Main features include a single development tool that supports operator displays, Visual Basic scripts, trends, alarm, logs, and other functions; the enhanced Trend Object has no limits on the number of pens and each pen can be configured individually; it supports a superior interface for connecting to SQL databases and ERP systems.

Operators and engineers can execute any SQL statement from a Windows CE Client or a Web Thin Client; it supports enhanced interface for producing alarms, trends, and reports in the PDF file format. With multi-level security features, customers can now optimize security setting, ensuring that final outputs cannot be altered by an operator or any other person in the process, and enabling an ironclad audit trail. The company says it conforms to industrial tools, standards and protocols, including .Net, OPC, ADO, XML, SOAP, ActiveX, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, thin clients, graphic formats, SQL, and Excel.

Advantech Studio 6.1 integrates seamlessly with many Windows desktop applications.
