Wonderware System Platform has been evolving for over a decade and continues doing so with each release. It enables extensive capability through thousands of features. The three core competencies of this solution includes:

Engineering Power and Simplicity

The unique Wonderware standards-based approach to application development ensures consistency across the entire business, significantly reduces time to value for new projects and simplifies training requirements for new and less experienced employees. This results in much higher quality applications, higher engineering productivity and greatly reduced time and cost to build and maintain.

Operational Agility

A superior approach to presenting information means less time to orient to the problem, greater focus on awareness and information, more useful informational displays, advanced alarm aggregation to focus on the real problem and proper use of color to enhance operator performance and not distract or cause fatigue.  This results in greater visibility to the most important situations, prevention of excursions from “normal”, reduction in disruptions and downtime, greater focus on opportunities to improve performance, safety and reduction in costs of operations.

Information Empowerment

Featuring a long history of scalable and extensible solutions that collect, store, retrieve and deliver plant floor and process related actionable information so plant personnel at all levels can visualize and analyze their processes faster and more effectively. This results in improved process visualization, process analysis and troubleshooting, less downtime, higher product quality, improved equipment reliability, lower production costs and higher plant profitability.

Innovation that Leads the Industry

Wonderware System Platform 2014 R2 extends its reputation  for innovation, ease of use, and central system design, management and control even further by improving design workflows, dramatically simplifying field device connectivity, adding smart new engineering and alarm tools, and maximizing the management and efficient storage and utilization of historical alarm and event data.

Complexity Simplified

New simple to follow Best Practices in HMI design and easy-to-use conversion tools reduce engineering costs and time and ensure consistency of HMI designs. These tools shorten design time and the learning curve for novice engineers. Upgrading existing applications is quick and convenient – easily convert older applications to advanced graphics that capitalize on the latest technology.

Increase Operator Awareness

The expanded Situational Awareness Symbol Library  and extensive improvements in design workflows and alarm management capabilities facilitate greater operator awareness and extend real-time visibility into your processes and minimize nuisance alarms. These improvements greatly enhance the ability for both experienced and entry-level operators to focus on what is most important and helps them identify, understand, react to and resolve, abnormal situations more easily.

More Effective Alarming

New Alarm Shelving and ‘Plant State’ based alarm suppression features minimize nuisance alarms, which improves operator attention to more critical events. New Alarm Client Symbols take advantage of the these capabilities to visually present aggregated active and historical alarm information. Alarms are grouped by severity and shelving status to further simplify the engineering effort and improve operator awareness and prioritization of alarms.

Simple Field Device Connectivity

The new I/O Auto Assignment feature, matches attribute references to field devices based on manufacturer naming conventions to enable drag-and-drop association of objects to field references prior to deployment. This powerful new feature drastically reduces engineering time and frustration, enables live pre-validation of connectivity, and improves connectivity accuracy. All major brand industrial controllers are supported.
