GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms Releases Proficy Change Management 5.9

By DE Editors

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, a unit of GE Enterprise Solutions, has announced the latest version of its Proficy Change Management, version 5.9, featuring web-based client enhancements that provide users with “thin” client capability for version control, audit trails, and secure access for popular automation products. The new interface allows end users to locate the project or PLC files that they need to access more easily using a configurable HTML- based interface.

“Proficy Change Management is a key component of our Proficy family of automation software applications,” says Claire Cerrato, general manager of GE Fanuc’s Automation Software Products. “It helps users meet compliance requirements, and improves processes and key uptime metrics. Proficy Change Management features powerful capabilities including security, version management audit trails, central storage, and automated backup and recovery for increased safety and efficiency.”

The HTML-based client is thin and deploys with a small footprint that can save users time and effort when installing or updating. It also provides access to common end-user and administrative functions such as check out, check in, open, version reports, compare, and more.

This new version of the product provides a lower maintenance alternative with an intranet server based deployment and lightweight client install to reduce the overall cost of maintaining the system.

The new product wizard can support virtually any type of file, document or FTP device. Users can create their own wizard product types by answering a few key questions about the files they want it to manage, and Proficy Change Management will automatically create a profile to manage these files.
