ActiveFactory V9.0 Trending and Analysis Tools for ArchestrA available!

 

Wonderware has announced the release of the next generation of Wonderware’s popular trending and analysis client, ActiveFactory 9.0 Wonderware has re-built ActiveFactory using entirely new software technology. ActiveFactory version 9.0 uses ArchestrA architecture and .NET and ASP.NET software technologies making ActiveFactory particularly effective to use in custom industrial applications such as HMI or corporate web portal applications. ActiveFactory components like Trend can be natively added to a .NET application saving the application builder time building and maintaining the application.

 

Additionally, ActiveFactory 9.0 has an updated look and feel. Trend plots are more configurable now with new colors, shading and custom plot backgrounds even including image files. Customers can really jazz up their trend plots with version 9.0. The entire program was designed to share the same look and feel as Office 2003 and Windows XP.

 

Other Key Additions & Improvements:

 

New Multiple Period Support or Batch Trend Analysis Functionality

Users can now select the same tag more than once for a trend plot then add a time offset to the trace to allow comparison of amplitude values and time sequencing issues between an earlier “good” batch run and the real-time batch.

New History Playback Mode

ActiveFactory 9.0 users can now playback history data in the same manner they can activate the live mode now in ActiveFactory. This can be particularly useful in training operators who can monitor a set of key process parameters from the past simulating current operations. It also can be used to study an operational sequence now and in the past.

SuiteVoyager Integration Improvements

The ActiveFactory Reporting Website has been redesigned to support HTTP and HTTPS protocols and Port 80 making ActiveFactory much more IT friendly.

 

New .NET Controls

A particularly strong feature of ActiveFactory has been its set of ActiveX controls that allows system integrators and developers to add trending, querying and tag navigation capabilities and more to custom applications with much less effort and cost.  ActiveFactory 9.0 now provides these same tools as .NET controls so they can be integrated natively into .NET applications like corporate web portals with a minimum of effort.

 

New Product Licensing Structure

To provide industry leadership along with providing customers higher levels of flexibility and to better align ourselves with Microsoft’s current application licensing model, Wonderware has taken the decision to change our licensing structure for ActiveFactory 9.0.
