<- Back to Alarm Management Solutions
Information Technology Perspective Oh, great. Another software package trying to talk between the plant and business network. We feel your pain and our software is written to not add any more. We've been writing software since 1990, and have worked through the transition from fat-client to thin-client along about the same timeline as the transition from proprietary network infrastructures to Ethernet and PC-based automation hardware. Quite a change. You'll be happy to know that our LogMate software package is built to minimize IT headaches. As the line between automation and business infrastructure continues to blur, we find ourselves sitting at conference tables talking about firewalls and security policies as much as tweaking process alarm settings to improve operations. Lucky for us, as a software company, we're techies too. We respect and admire the tremendous task that IT oversees - balancing the need for fast and broad information transfer while maintaining security and stability. We haven't yet run into a comparable product that can match LogMate's flexibility and ease of implementation. LogMate leverages widely used technologies that prevent or minimize the need to learn new methodologies. We run on Microsoft® desktop and server operating systems, use a standard Microsoft SQL Server database as our backend, and rely on Microsoft IIS to host our .NET ASP web services. The LogMate product is modular to accomodate various network designs and policies. We do not require any software load on workstation machines. Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher is the only requirement. There is a large section of the LogMate microsite devoted to IT information. Access it here. Of course, there are always some challenging questions that we must address before being allowed into a plant environment, and we're ready for those questions. Give us a call and run us through the gauntlet. |
