Houston, TX - ISA ‘07 — October 2, 2007 — ICONICS announced its 64-bit-based OPC Web-enabled HMI/SCADA suite, GENESIS64.

The GENESIS64 suite includes several modular solutions that simplify connectivity from the plant floor to corporate business systems. Designed from the ground up to take maximum advantage of Windows Vista, .NET and SharePoint technology, it allows plant operators and IT professionals to integrate real-time manufacturing and business information into a common, Web-enabled visualization dashboard. GENESIS64 continues ICONICS’ commitment to furthering OPC Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) technology throughout its industrial automation software solutions. In addition, a solution that is based entirely on Microsoft’s Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) integration and XAML helps to provide an enriched user experience.

“GENESIS64 is the first product for manufacturing and automation to take full advantage of the growing popularity of 64-bit computing technology,” said Russ Agrusa, President and CEO of ICONICS. “Coupled with the innovative capabilities found in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the GENESIS64 suite’s next generation features provide customers with a 360-degree view of their entire organization”.

Customers benefit from Windows Vista tie-ins to Gadgets, Sidebars, Sideshow, Windows Presentation Foundation with 3D Visualization, Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Vista Search & Organize technology. GENESIS64 also utilizes other key features from Windows Vista, Virtual Earth and other Microsoft technologies.

“GENESIS64 provides customers with a graphically compelling 3D visualization environment,” said Simone Massaro, GENESIS64 Lead Program Manager at ICONICS. “In addition, the suite is completely Web-configurable and utilizes a unique Workbench framework.”

“One of the primary factors driving growth in the HMI/SCADA software market has been the increased enterprise and business-level visualization real-time requirements of manufacturers worldwide” said Craig Resnick, Research Director at ARC Advisory Group. “Collaborative event-driven manufacturing environments are demanding factory and plant visibility and intelligence products that offer state-of-the-art visualization capabilities along with open standards such as OPC for interoperability with a myriad of automation and operations management solutions. The integration of the GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA suite, along with leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft Windows Vista, should fulfill these market requirements.”
