ICONICS Releases BridgeWorX V8 - Real-time, Data-mining Software for Manufacturing Intelligence

Real-time, Data-mining Software for Manufacturing Intelligence

Houston, TX, ISA ‘04 – October 5, 2004 — ICONICS, a leader in Web-enabled, OPC-based HMI/SCADA and Manufacturing Intelligence Visualization software for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, today announced the release of BridgeWorX™ Version 8. BridgeWorX is a graphical, enterprise data-bridging product for the ICONICS BizViz™ Manufacturing Intelligence software suite. BridgeWorX is an easy-to-use, reliable software solution for connecting real-time data sources to any enterprise data source. With the powerful, easy-to-configure, graphical transaction editor users can create applications that move information between the plant floor and the enterprise.

"BridgeWorX is a shrink-wrapped, out-of-the-box product designed from the ground up on Microsoft® .NET technologies," states Russ Agrusa, President and CEO of ICONICS. "BridgeWorX incorporates revolutionary Data-Mining and Integration technology, which allows the data-bridging of any real-time or enterprise data source, including Microsoft SQL Server®, Oracle®, SAP®, plant historians, OPC real-time data and more."

BridgeWorX is the ideal data-integration tool for Manufacturing Intelligence. Connecting real-time to corporate data sources is fast, efficient and easy to configure. BridgeWorX offers the most advanced data-integration and interface-management tool available today, taking maximum advantage of Microsoft’s most powerful technologies.

"Ensuring connectivity across the manufacturing enterprise is a primary value proposition for manufacturers employing automated production systems", states Craig Resnick, Research Director at ARC Advisory Group. "These manufacturers want to use software tools such as BridgeWorX to access and aggregate real-time production process information to drive factory visibility and intelligence. Enterprise connectivity translates into both manufacturing efficiency and a lower cost of goods sold."

The engineering costs associated with custom development are dramatically reduced with BridgeWorX. With easy-to-use graphical function block configuration capability, BridgeWorX requires little coding or scripting, thereby greatly reducing the costs associated with bridging the factory floor from real-time systems to the corporate enterprise. BridgeWorX is based on .NET technology, and it eliminates the need for database specialists, resulting in an overall savings in operation and IT support costs.

BridgeWorX is designed as a stand-alone product that can be integrated with any HMI/SCADA, Control, MES or Visual Basic® application. Built-in security and data-mining technology provides seamless integration with any IT infrastructure. Event logging and native performance monitoring with easy-to-use tools for analysis, debugging and performance optimization are standard with BridgeWorX.
