Woburn, MA – September 16, 2009 - PcVue, a subsidiary of ARC Informatique and supplier of highly flexible and scalable HMI, SCADA and MES software automation solutions, announces its SCADA application builder tool, the Smart Generator. To seamlessly upgrade HMI/SCADA applications and reuse already configured graphics, tag databases, object libraries with ease, the Smart Generator manages the import of configuration data from several software packages in addition to FactoryLink, such as AutoCAD, LonDB, Siemens Simatic Step7 and Schneider Unity, to name a few, saving time and reducing total cost of ownership.
As one of the few HMI/SCADAs available that is hardware agnostic, PcVue’s Smart Generator provides flexibility, scalability and integration to a multitude of PLC brands, reducing the time and cost of upgrading while empowering organizations to benefit from newer technology and more functionality as quickly as possible.
