Challenge	SEA, the company that manages both the Malpensa and Linate airports in Italy, required an HMI/SCADA solution for an in-house data trending application to assist operators with determining the number of baggages processed in defined intervals. The involved system consists of two hot backup servers and 11 clients, used for monitoring the state of the HBS and EBS systems. One server runs ICONICS AlarmWorX™32 (with alarm logger), ScriptWorX™32 and DataWorX™32. Both servers handle client security (aligned between the two servers by means of a script) and can switch automatically if a failure is detected on the primary, or on demand by an operator. Read More
About Customer	Elsag S.p.A., a division of FINMECCANICA, provides IT solutions focused on postal, automation, security, industrial and defense systems. It works in tandem with SEA, the company that manages both the Malpensa and Linate airports in Italy, specifically on the Malpensa Airport T1 terminal’s baggage handling system. Elsag S.p.A.’s application is used to monitor and control the Handling Baggage Security (HBS) and Early Baggage System (EBS). Read More
Solution	Elsag S.p.A. and SEA selected ICONICS GENESIS32™ HMI/SCADA suite including DataWorX™32 OPC data bridging, aggregation and redundancy. The client interface consists of a main page with all other pages shown concurrently. In this way, the most important required information is constantly represented on screen, including alarm indicators, emergency scenarios, network status (of each PLC or server), reporting, the terminal’s Flight Managing System, and login/logout. Selecting one of the symbols on the general view opens a related page in which each element composing the line is represented. It’s possible to open a more detailed page in which each signal related to the element is shown. It’s also possible to navigate between different displays (without returning to the general view) via “arrow” navigational tool. Secured commands can be issued to the PLCs in order to change the working lines of the system. This allows the customer to plan maintenance of the plant, as well as for recovery of faults without affecting the behavior of the entire system. Read More Log in to view content
