Schneider Electric has released Wonderware SmartGlance 2014 R2 mobile reporting software. The updated version includes new features for easier monitoring, visualizing and analyzing real-time plant and industrial process data via mobile devices. These features include support for wearable technologies, a modern user interface for multiple browsers, self-serve registration, support for multiple time zones for a global user base and full import and export capabilities for faster deployment.
With a small install footprint and no additional hardware requirements, the Wonderware SmartGlance implementation process is faster and simpler. MyAlerts, the software's newest mobile app feature, proactively notifies users of process events so they can stay current with real-time information based on configurable thresholds for tag reports. The software can be used with smart watches to alert mobile and remote field workers, plant supervisors and managers of critical production and process information in a real-time, hands-free manner.
By leveraging the combined power of mobility and Schneider Electric's cloud-hosted managed services, the software empowers mobile and remote users with the required information at the needed time, without full disruption or distraction, so they can assign resources and resolve issues. It also features an open interface to connect and push data to mobile devices from many data source, including historians, manufacturing execution systems, enterprise manufacturing intelligence systems or real-time systems of record. It also provides connectors for accessing data from SQL databases and OPC-HDA-compatible systems for access to third-party data sources and systems. This most recent version also extends connectivity to additional Schneider Electric software products, including its Viejo Citect SCADA offering, InStep PRiSM predictive asset analytics software, and the InStep eDNA historian.
