AAPG E-Symposium: “Wind Farm Operations: Current Practices and Future Trends”
ICONICS has recently participated in an E-Symposium sponsored by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), in coordination with analyst firm, Frost & Sullivan. The Webcast, titled “Wind Farm Operations: Current Practices and Future Trends”, includes presentations by Roberta Gamble, Director of the Energy and Power Supplies Group at Frost & Sullivan, and Russ Agrusa, Founder, CEO and President of ICONICS. During the approximately one hour session, Gamble and Agrusa discuss the opportunities available to those in the oil/gas/petrochemical industry in pursuing wind energy technology. Also covered are tax credits, predictive maintenance options and GEO Productivity Portal technology.

Realize the Power of OPC-UA
The OPC-UA (Unified Architecture) standard offers a common data model and device communication platform for plant to enterprise data connectivity by leveraging the power of Microsoft .NET and Web services. A robust, secure and scalable expansion of the highly successful basic COM/DCOM-based OPC standard communication protocol, OPC-UA allows the interoperability of best-of-breed, real-time alarm management and historian systems.

An Introduction to Applying Productivity Analytics
Productivity Analytics includes powerful data mining technology to track real-time key performance indicators (KPIs) such as OEE, first pass yield, availability, uptime, cycle time and many more. This session will highlight customer and partner case studies to illustrate the flexibility of ICONICS solutions for operations engaged in “Lean” initiatives for continuous improvement of throughput, quality and asset utilization.

Creating OPC Servers with Advanced Toolkit
ICONICS developers joined other organizations in helping to create the specifications and sample code for OPC. ICONICS was first to introduce a production grade toolkit to the market and hundreds of companies now depend on us for their OPC toolkit. This session will help customers create 32-bit, multi-threading, multi-processor OPC servers that can integrate with a number of Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Geo SCADA Visualization Applications
EarthWorX, part of ICONICS GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA suite, is new geographical information SCADA technology that provides real-time visualization to widely dispersed assets such as water plants, building facilities, postal centers, factories, oil fields and many others. ICONICS’ unique SmartPin technology allows for an intuitive drill-down capability to quickly view alarm conditions and status for any location around the world. Within seconds, assets can be identified and located through GENESIS64’s integration with Microsoft’ Virtual Earth.

64-bit Plant Historians for Today’s Applications
ICONICS’ Hyper Historian is a new, high-speed, reliable and robust enterprise-wide real-time data historian designed from the ground up to collect and log data in excess of 100,000 tags per second from a large number of data sources, including OPC-UA, OPC DA, SNMP, databases, BacNET and many more. Learn how Hyper Historian’s Web-enabled Workbench framework can be used to provide both a configuration and real-time visualization environment for charting, reporting, analysis and historical data trend replay. The Workbench also includes productivity tools for source control, project management and application deployment.

Creating 3D HMI/SCADA Applications
GraphWorX64 represents a quantum leap in HMI/SCADA visualization. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and XAML are at the core of GraphWorX64 and are widely used to provide real-time visualization of any manufacturing, building control and business intelligence information. GraphWorX64 exploits both the 2D and extensive 3D capability of WPF to deliver real-time data in a variety of visualization options, giving users the richest client user experience found today. This Webcast will focus on creating 3D HMI applications with GraphWorX64.

Using Energy Analytics for a Greener World
ICONICS is committed to REAL renewable energy industry solutions, from generation to transmission to tool manufacturing and more. Energy Analytics offers actionable intelligence that helps customers make better decisions for the future. This information will allow users to reduce energy consumption, aggregate and summarize energy usage by location, and forecast energy costs over time. Energy Analytics helps companies to become more “green”, reduce their overall carbon footprint through optimizations made to energy consumption, and help meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards for the operation of green buildings.

Apply Alarm Analytics for Operational Excellence
Alarm Analytics, part of the BizViz manufacturing intelligence/business visualization suite, provides rapid analysis, visualization, reporting and management of alarms, resulting in improved plant reliability, faster response times and deeper process understanding. Operators are able to improve efficiency by uncovering alarm patterns, events and improved response times. Proper analysis of alarms and events can reveal significant opportunities for improving current operations and mitigating abnormal situations.
