GE Digital announced the introduction of Proficy 2022, featuring major enhancements across the entire Proficy portfolio as well as new software additions. This portfolio-wide release aligns all Proficy software versioning and provides its customers with a validated set of components for their unique use case. All solutions are designed and tested to work together to help drive value as an overall solution, delivering richer features as a company evolves its digital transformation journey. Validated interoperability helps to make this possible with products working seamlessly together, able to be upgraded across a company’s solution with greater ease and confidence leveraging underlying technologies that span the portfolio.

With products releasing November 2021 through January 2022, the GE Digital Proficy 2022 portfolio release is full of new capabilities while providing reliability and security. A new low code data flow engine across the solutions creates runtime logic to transform data for visualization. This helps to reduce development time and provides faster time to value. This capability will first be available in Proficy Plant Applications 2022 and Proficy Operations Hub 2022. More simplified authorization and authentication management drive common, cross-portfolio security.

New products to be introduced as part of this unified launch will span to cloud MES, analytics, and production orchestration, as well as major enhancements to iFIX and CIMPLICITY, both part of the Proficy HMI/SCADA family, Proficy Historian, and other products. In addition, a new common installer will be introduced with solutions throughout 2022 to make it easier for companies to more quickly and easily install new and upgraded software.

Craig Resnick, ARC Advisory Group, commented, “The post-pandemic economy requires software solutions that accelerate digital transformation by providing greater visibility and control. GE Digital’s investments in its comprehensive Proficy Unified Portfolio will greatly expand how it serves customers with modern HMI/SCADA and scalable historian technologies, as well as new products spanning cloud-based MES and analytics. The across-the-board introduction of no code/low code technology on universal configuration tools for deploying scalable HMI/SCADA, MES, Historian, Analytics, and Enterprise-wide System Management and Production Optimization solutions further enable the capabilities of a remote and mobile workforce without compromising security.”
