The Chemical Reaction Engineering Module for the developer’s simulation platform creates a single environment where engineers may obtain accurate studies of material transport and chemical reactions performed under many different operating conditions. Its easy-to-use, customizable interfaces define chemical reactions, mass and energy transport, and porous-media flow parameters.

The ScadaMobile application for the iPhone/iPod gives engineers access to live process control variables and the ability to modify these data remotely. It creates a secure wireless interface between an iPhone and an existing 802.11 wireless network on the plant floor, enabling the phone to read Modbus TCP/IP and Ethernet/IP process control variables from programmable automation controllers (PACs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) throughout the plant. These live values are displayed in stylized lists and include user-established variance allowances and alarms.

Formulator Series apps host hundreds of formulas, graphics, calculations, federal and state regulatory codes, and industrial requirements on an iPhone or iPod Touch. The basic edition contains about 100 general formulas and calculations. Specialty packages are available for a wide range of disciplines, such as environmental engineering and hydraulic engineering.

BambooPM is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) project management program that allows project team members to communicate and collaborate worldwide, without requiring installation, configuration or management of in-house servers. This monthly subscription service is based on the company’s existing Project Management Central software for in-house MS SharePoint installations. Its interface allows users anywhere to join projects in less than a minute and access the program’s tracking, organization, maintenance and status reporting features.

Instrument Control Framework is a software component that makes it easier for third-party software to control the manufacturer’s liquid chromatography systems in chromatographic data systems and workstations. It contains Agilent 1200 Series LC RC.NET instrument drivers, which eliminate the need for software developers to write their own drivers using low-level instrument control codes. Instead, developers may write their own adaptor to connect their software with the Instrument Control Framework to gain full control of instruments in this series.

The Green Product Analyzer provides data that are useful for assessing the sustainability footprint of chemical products, as well as for the selection of safer and more environmentally friendly products. The system has access to chemical profiles and substance data, which can be used to compare products by a variety of parameters, including toxicity, environmental impact, application, and cost. Users may set criteria to calculate ratings and to group products into categories, which can then be used to make direct and meaningful comparisons.

GRAMS spectroscopy software helps in the visualizing, processing, reporting and managing of spectroscopy data. Version 9.0 is comprised of complementary and fully integrated applications and modules centered on the core GRAMS/AI spectroscopy data processing and reporting software. It has advanced processing routines, as well as data comparison and visualization features. It can handle data from any analytical instrument. Its intuitive and simplified workflows enable scientists to more easily and rapidly access data and make more informed decisions about the results generated.

Medstere software shortens lead-seeking optimization cycles by generating hundreds of non-obvious alternatives to a known form of a drug. It assesses the similarity of structurally diverse biosteres using the 3-D surface and electrostatic properties of molecules. The user first inputs the known molecule and selects the area to be changed. The software converts the 3-D (or 2-D) molecule into field points, then replaces the selected section with thousands of alternative fragments, while creating field points for all the new molecules.

Intelligent Asset Management software uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to track information technology assets in the data center as well as the office environment. It easily integrates with existing enterprise asset management (EAM) solutions, such as Sunflower Systems, BMC Remedy, IBM Maximo, Oracle, HP Asset Manager, and Savi SmartChain. This system enables faster and more accurate asset audits, which significantly reduces inventory costs and ensures a secure environment.

The Triconex/Tofino OPC firewall strengthens industrial safety sys--tems against network accidents and attacks. It combines content-inspection firewall technology from Byres Security and the security hardware development of MTL Instruments with the OPC communications servers of Invensys. The system automatically mitigates risks related to known distributed component object model (DCOM) vulnerabilities. Its dynamic port management and built-in traffic-rate controls prevent basic network problems from spreading throughout a plant.
