Innovative, Real-time KPI Gadgets for Automation
ICONICS has created a series of automation-centric Microsoft Gadgets, designed to run in the Windows Vista Sidebar. GENESIS64 uses Microsoft Gadget, Sidebar and Sideshow technologies through mini-applications designed to provide at-a-glance information, useful search abilities and valuable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Automation specialists can quickly see how a plant or facility is performing with these powerful, informative and easy-to-use GENESIS64 Automation Gadgets.

Increase Your Security via User Account Control (UAC)
GENESIS64 takes advantage of the new Windows Vista User Account Control (UAC). With the integration of UAC, GENESIS64 users will benefit from reduced attack exposure by preventing potentially dangerous software from making unauthorized system changes, thus improving overall application and system security. Taking advantage of UAC allows for fewer security patches and keeps operations running 24/7.
