Technology Immediately Implemented into Its State-of-the-Art Automation Solutions

HOUSTON, TX / ISA ‘06 – October 19, 2006 – ICONICS announces the receipt of several U.S. patents, continuing its technological leadership as an Automation Solutions Provider.

Patent 7,017,116 led to ICONICS’ development of MobileHMI wireless mobile Web telephony software and Pocket GENESIS™ mobile Pocket PC industrial software.

Patent 7,003,558 resulted in ICONICS’ DataWorX32 Data Aggregation and Redundancy technology. DataWorX32 is a 32-bit, multithreaded, OPC-compliant client and server application providing multiple functionality. DataWorX32 is a component of the GENESIS32 product family, and it serves as a project-level data system for GENESIS32 applications.

Acting as a bridge between various OPC servers, DataWorX32 provides different OPC data channels. Once multiple I/O channels are established, DataWorX32 will switch between a primary PC (node) and a backup PC on the network. Should the primary PC become disabled, DataWorX32 can automatically switch to the backup PC.

Both new patents join ICONICS’ existing patent 6,834,388, which was implemented into ActiveX ToolWorX, the industry’s first and only OPC-based ActiveX toolkit. ActiveX ToolWorX allows users to create custom, high-performance ActiveX controls that are true OPC clients.

“ICONICS has always been committed to innovation and implementing the latest technological advancements." said Russ Agrusa, President and CEO of ICONICS. "Our newest patents are a testament to that commitment and we continue to invest in R&D and turn its breakthroughs into real customer benefits.”

“ICONICS remains a staunch advocate of OPC technology,” said Craig Resnick, research director at ARC Advisory Group. “The steady stream of products based on OPC technology from ICONICS’ development team has been targeted at manufacturers seeking interoperability solutions that help provide multi-vendor connectivity from the plant floor to the enterprise.”

ICONICS has been providing award-winning, industrial automation and Manufacturing Intelligence software for over 20 years, and has successfully deployed more than 200,000 solutions worldwide. ICONICS, a Microsoft Gold Partner, was recently awarded as a Microsoft Partner of the Year finalist in the ISV/Software Solutions category.
