Operational Impact
The implementation of the ICONICS GENESIS32™ OPC Web-enabled HMI/SCADA suite has brought about significant operational improvements for Vitkovice Steel. The company is now able to replace older equipment to guarantee related maintenance and service. The new system has also increased the company's flexibility in responding to user requests in regards to varying production patterns. The seamless integration with existing systems, including KEP Servers, Stratus Servers, Siemens Simatic S7 PLCs, Oracle 9.2 database, UZ line-over databases, stampers in hot or cold conditions (3964R), and paint stampers, has further enhanced the operational efficiency. The ICONICS solutions also connect easily to the company’s existing Microsoft products, including Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2000 and XP clients, Microsoft Office, and SQL databases. | |
