Includes VCRWorX, New OPC XML, OPC DA 3.0, and Data-Mining Technology

Houston TX, ISA ‘03 – October 21, 2003 — ICONICS, a leader in the development of Web-enabled industrial automation and business visualization software for MicrosoftÒ WindowsÒ, today announced GENESIS32™ Version 8.0, the ICONICS flagship HMI/SCADA and business visualization suite of software products. This new version of GENESIS32 incorporates industry's first HMI data-mining capability and supports the newest OPC Foundation specifications, including OPC Data Access (DA) 3.0 and OPC XML 1.0.

“GENESIS32 Version 8.0 integrates several new capabilities and products, such as VCRWorXTM32 and DataWorXTM32. VCRWorX gives our customers a powerful tool for replaying archived alarm and trend history into their HMI/SCADA visualization systems," states Russ Agrusa, President and CEO of ICONICS. "DataWorX32 provides patented OPC data bridging, tunneling and aggregation capabilities. GENESIS32 Version 8.0’s new data-mining technology allows automation and IT professionals to integrate real-time manufacturing and business information into a common, Web-enabled visualization dashboard.”

"The market is demanding solutions that provide a real-time visualization connection to databases such as Microsoft SQL Server®, MSDE, Oracle®, and Microsoft Access, as well as the integration of real-time manufacturing and business visualization," says Craig Resnick, Research Director at ARC Advisory Group. "ICONICS' newest HMI/SCADA visualization product incorporates several unique capabilities that address this market demand, such as VCR-like replay functions, which allow users to view past history through their HMI systems."

“VCRWorX32 provides users with a new way to visualize historical data from manufacturing and business systems," states Russ Agrusa. "From an easy-to-use VCRWorX graphical user interface, users can select a start time, playback speed, and step mode for viewing information. Users can also compare live views with historical views, or compare the current production run against 'ideal data' and make set point changes, resulting in greater productivity and efficiency. VCRWorX is designed to work with GENESIS32 and WebHMI™ clients. Using the ICONICS 'one development tool for multiple targets' technology, it’s easy to add VCRWorX to any existing application."

TrendWorX™32 includes several new features, including the ability to stack pens, an intuitive pen cursor, scatter plots, sliding scales, and customizable backgrounds. This allows users to quickly and easily configure informative charts.
