ProjectWise Navigator V8i (SELECTseries 1) is dynamic collaboration software for iterative project review. This latest version can be used by infrastructure teams to interactively view, analyze, and augment project information. It has the i-model, which is a container for open infrastructure information exchange that includes its change management history in the provenance feature.
Visual Flow Version 5.3 is fluid simulation software that designs and rates flares and relief networks. This release integrates with the manufacturer’s SimSci-Esscor SIM4ME Portal, which acts as a user interface for data in MS Excel. It includes an enhanced solver, as well as four new solvers that can be adapted to accurately model almost any configuration in a plant.
The AMS Suite: Asset Portal Version 4.0 combines Emerson’s PlantWeb predictive intelligence with Meridium’s advanced analytics and decision-support technology to provide a more-effective way to manage and maintain critical production assets. This program can be integrated in real-time with other AMS Suite applications to link asset diagnostics with business metrics and key performance indicators.
Version 3.2 of the gPROMS advanced process modeling (APM) software is used in the oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, power generation, clean energy, food and beverage, consumer products, and pharmaceutical sectors. This release features improvements in the handling of discrete logic within the equation-oriented modeling environment, and contains numerous productivity, speed and robustness upgrades. These enhancements allow gPROMS library models to incorporate sophisticated supervisory controllers whose execution is completely transparent to end-users of the software.
The NAG Toolbox for MATLAB allows users to transfer prototype code to final production code in languages such as C and FORTRAN while using the same algorithms. This release includes more than a dozen quickly accessible MATLAB-based examples of advanced programming for optimization problems, simulations, time-series analyses, and other functions.
Tyler Sieving Software 3.0 records, prints, and saves data for laboratory sieve analysis. Its user-friendly spreadsheet interface can be personalized for each sieve test. The software requires the technician to choose a sieve series for testing, as well as the sample weight retained on each sieve following the test run. The software then performs the rest of the calculations, creating statistical and graphical displays for analysis.
Longwatch Version 5.0 features the Video Historian application, which supports Wonderware’s ActiveFactory trend chart object, allowing users to automatically link plant video directly with graphical data trend charts. The Longwatch Video Engine application collects video from multiple cameras throughout the plant using standard information technology (IT), industrial networks, or wireless and cellular links. The Video Historian lets users retrieve collected video based on the context (i.e., when it was taken), such as process alarms, workflow steps, batch phases, and intruder alarms.
IntegratedMDM (meter data management) supports the installation, operation and management of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) systems and the data they generate. It is fully compatible with the manufacturer’s Galaxy AMI platform. Typical water utility systems encounter poor interfaces between the reading and existing utility applications. Larger water utilities that manage several ongoing daily applications, such as work orders, billing and meter inventory, find this type of program can control each activity in an efficient manner.
Multiphysics Version 4.0 features a totally revamped, easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for building and running simulations. The user-defined desktop appearance includes Main Menu, Model Builder, Help Desk, Settings, Messages, and Graphics windows. Right-clicking on the model builder allows the user to adjust settings for meshing, material properties, solving and plotting, as well as to import CAD files from other programs.
Enterprise Security uses the company’s NiagaraAX Framework to provide a security solution that can be used globally in a wide range of applications, from single doors to multiple facilities. It offers interoperability within traditional security environments, as well as for environmental controls, lighting, energy management, fire protection, and video surveillance systems. Its Internet Protocol (IP)-based platform allows access from any standard web browser at any time. The software is open, with open architecture, open framework, and support for open protocols.
