November 10, 2009 - CygNet Software announced “CygNet for Pipeline,” a packaged vertical solution for pipeline operators. It includes segment-specific implementation templates, device connectors and applications for standardized gas operations functionality. With CygNet, companies are able to unify large volumes of essential, real-time data into a complete operational view across the enterprise. Leveraging this foundation and experience with multiple deployments, CygNet has developed a standardized solution, CygNet for Pipeline. In using this solution, clients need only input their specific configuration data, which completely eliminates the need for multiple cycles of design-signoff-create-test-customize.
This fast-track implementation solution includes a pre-designed and tested foundation built exclusively for transportation pipeline operators, enabling them to collect, manage and distribute critical real-time information throughout the enterprise, from the control room to the marketing floor, faster than ever before.
This speed of deployment and ease of configuration has shattered the costly, time-consuming and resource-intensive model that has dominated the real-time oil and gas industry for years. - Collect: Taking advantage of CygNet’s pre-built support for the leading field devices and IT infrastructure components often used by North American pipeline operators, CygNet for Pipeline eliminates the time and cost associated with getting custom solutions to work with each client in the field.
This unique approach of incorporating the protocol specifications of leading manufactures, such as Allen Bradly, Bristol, Control Microsystems, Emerson and more, allows CygNet to deliver a scalable, rapidly implementable solution for collecting data from tens of thousands of field and operational devices.- Manage: CygNet for Pipeline organizes all incoming data into a pre-configured and tested schema, ensuring the data is efficiently normalized and managed in a hierarchical data model, ready to be leveraged by business users. This unified data model is the foundation for CygNet’s industry-specific applications, which deliver personalized views and business processes.
These applications, which include functions such as line pack, nominating and forecasting, enable managers and executives to visualize, explore and correlate the data in ways most relevant to their various jobs. The information is presented in logical, tabular formats, which can later be customized by business and operations users – as can all alarms, notifications and calculations – without any risk to future platform version upgrades provided by CygNet. - Distribute: CygNet for Pipeline is based on the powerful, proven distributed architecture at the core of CygNet’s solution. This ensures reliability across a geographically diverse organization.
CygNet is designed to scale to virtually any number of users both inside and outside the firewall without the need for additional centralized or specialized computing hardware.
Pricing and Availability
CygNet for Pipeline is available immediately. Pricing includes all segment-specific applications, data schema and collection engines. This package price ensures that budget planning and capture are both accurate and determined at the beginning of the process, eliminating the risk common to custom vendor solutions.
