Preciosa Ornela required an update to their existing 32- bit HMI/SCADA software involved with the monitoring of temperatures, electrical parameters and combustion ratio glass sets as part of their production processes. The company was happy with its existing GENESIS32 installation but wanted to add the multiple modern features included in newer 64-bit software.
After evaluating offerings from multiple vendors, Preciosa Ornela decided to remain an ICONICS customer and chose GENESIS64, which, along with GENESIS32, provides real-time monitoring of their continuous production process. The long-term, multi-day process requires extreme precision and control to ensure that all ingredients are introduced at just the right temperature and at just the right time. GENESIS64 provides real-time production process visualization, trending, and alarming, along with integrated batch control, to operators and other key stakeholders.
The manufacturer currently uses GENESIS64 to monitor and control 4,000 individual assets, including 3,500 I/O points, in addition to connecting to multiple PLCs and Omron and Eurotherm regulators. The system was able to seamlessly integrate with existing Modbus, OPC and TCP/IP communications, as well as with the company’s existing Microsoft SQL Server installation for archiving. Preciosa Ornela opted for ten local supervisor stations running ICONICS WebHMI for web-based visualization, monitoring and control.
