Overview
Easy to Use, Easy to Implement

Since the late 1980s, Wonderware has been offering geographically distributed (Geo-SCADA) software solutions in almost every industry including Water & Wastewater, Oil & Gas, Facilities Management, Power, Transportation and Telecommunications.

These solutions offer several unique features that can greatly benefit companies looking to implement a new SCADA solution or upgrade an existing system.
• The easiest and most efficient, open software solution for SCADA
• Highly available, reliable and scalable SCADA applications
• Single click software redundancy
• Leverages ArchestrA architecture for easy configuration and management of operational and system security that is compatible with existing IT security capabilities
• Empowers users to design, build, deploy and maintain standardized SCADA applications
• Lowest total system lifecycle costs

Easy Configuration, Simplified Maintenance
Wonderware provides a flexible, maintainable and secure software platform for SCADA environments. These solutions are built on and integrated with a single, open and scalable software architecture that can connect to virtually any automation system, remote terminal unit (RTU), intelligent electronic device (IED), programmable logic controller (PLC), database, historian or business system in use today. The open nature of this platform enables users to expand their existing systems without having to buy new hardware or control systems.

Wonderware solutions enable distributed peer-to-peer communications. In addition, existing assets can be modeled within the software. This saves a tremendous amount of time when adding new wells, substations, devices or other monitoring stations – because the engineer can reuse the template that contains all of the information necessary for control, such as scripts, alarms and communication methods. That also greatly improves the reliability of the system because the software’s existing templates are field-proven.

Unparalleled Security
Security has become an increasingly critical factor and will continue to be essential to Oil & Gas, Water & Wastewater and Power systems. Wonderware takes a strong stance on security and offers built-in tools that enable authentication at every level of the automation process. Wonderware offers robust data-level security, in addition to the standard security features provided by the Microsoft Windows operating system, to protect control systems from cyber or physical risks. Wonderware provides security ranging from monitoring remote-site logins to program changes in the system. Users can also easily configure and manage operational and system security that fits with the user’s existing IT security integration.

Unlimited Scalability
Applications are flexible enough to enable companies to add equipment such as wells or pump stations, as expansion dictates, while retaining the value of earlier engineering investments and efforts. From a few hundred to one million I/O and from a single node to hundreds of stations, Wonderware meets your current and future system demands.

Single-Click Software Redundancy
Wonderware offers easy-to-use and -implement software redundancy for SCADA systems. This includes redundancy for SCADA nodes, device communications, historical archiving and HMI displays. With a single click of the mouse, a supervisory node can be backed up by another dedicated computer, or two supervisory nodes can back each other up. Utilizing the existing nodes as your system backup can also significantly reduce costs and increase the reliability and stability of your SCADA system.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Engineering productivity has often been elusive in the development of SCADA applications. This is further compounded when multiple development groups or system integrators (SIs) are involved. However, with Wonderware SCADA software solutions, devices and systems used throughout the SCADA environment can be modeled as object templates. For example, a remote pump station can be an object. Once the objects are configured, they can be reused throughout the entire system to easily add pump stations as necessary. This saves a tremendous amount of time when adding pump stations or RTUs and simplifies maintenance. Also, because the information for the pump station is stored as a template, the integrity of the system and device reliability is substantially improved. The Wonderware SCADA software solutions and tools enable companies to design, build, deploy and maintain standardized, secure, reliable solutions with the lowest system lifecycle costs.

Data Collection and Analysis for New and Existing Systems
The Wonderware historian provides out-of-the-box ease of use and flexibility for defining how data is acquired, stored and retrieved. All data, regardless of its source or time of entry, is fully integrated into a unified information database.

Easy-to-Use Report Generation
Wonderware software also makes it extremely easy to create the reports needed for regulatory agencies. Regulatory reports can be completely automated to include compliance information such as hourly, daily, weekly and monthly data along with trending graphics that contain minimums, maximums and averages over various time spans. These reports then can be quickly and easily created, printed and saved, thus simplifying the reporting process.

Visualization
Wonderware offers a world-famous, award-winning software for visualization with outstanding ease of use and simple-to-configure graphics. Powerful wizards and Wonderware SmartSymbols enable users to quickly create and deploy customized applications that connect and deliver real-time information. Applications can be viewed from a single monitor or multiple screens.

Additional Wonderware Software Solutions
Wonderware also provides software solutions for Supervisory HMI, which can scale up to 1 million I/O and provide significant reductions in system life-cycle costs. Read about Wonderware Supervisory HMI Software Solutions.
In addition, Wonderware offers production and performance management solutions that are appropriate for a wide range of manufacturing and production operations. These offerings are designed to drive operational improvements and substantially decrease total cost of ownership. Read about Wonderware Production and Performance Management Software Solutions.
