Has your SCADA system come to the end of the line?
Ditch your unsupported, costly to maintain legacy system and Switch2Citect for a reliable, scalable, upgrade-assured SCADA system. Converting to CitectSCADA is simple, reduces your costs and allows you to take advantage of the latest technologies to improve productivity and provide a brighter future for your plant.
Switch2Citect is a conversion tool for SCADA customers that allows you to upgrade from one or multiple legacy systems to the world-class CitectSCADA with minimal configuration costs, time and effort. Switch2Citect provides upgrades from InTouch, Fix32, iFix, FactoryLink with plans to release more upgrade paths in the near future.
According to the analysts, technology spend is at its highest point since the Y2K scare. SCADA systems installed in the mid–late 90s are now past their use-by date. Manufacturers are faced with 3 choices: do nothing, rip and replace or keep up to date. CitectSCADA customers are in the secure position of having continuous upgrades and support available to them. For those of you who don't have this assurance, replacing your current SCADA system just got a whole lot easier and less costly.
“Manufacturers either continuously upgrade their HMI/SCADA software to the latest release or wait and replace their HMI/SCADA software after about 5 years”, says Stephen Flannigan, Product Manager, CitectSCADA. “The longer a manufacturer waits before upgrading their HMI/SCADA software, the less benefit it will deliver to their business and the more difficult it may be to upgrade. They need to think seriously about the future of their systems to remain competitive in the long term. Choosing a reputable company that is worldwide, offers local support, has a clear roadmap and committed resources, while at the same time minimising the cost to upgrade their HMI/SCADA system, will drastically reduce their risk”.
With Switch2Citect, graphics and tag databases can be easily converted to a CitectSCADA system. Configuration time of graphical displays is reduced by up to 80%, from days to hours or minutes. This allows customers who are currently considering upgrading your existing system, to switch to CitectSCADA at a fraction of what it would have cost before the release of Switch2Citect.
The new tool will allow customers to take advantage of the world-class reliability, flexibility and scalability of CitectSCADA as well as the features available in the new V6 release which offers the unique “Process Analyst”, an integrated alarm and trend viewer and a fully-functional Web Client. Taking advantage of latest Microsoft technologies, switching to CitectSCADA also allows customers to upgrade their operating systems. Existing Citect customers can simply use the automatic upgrades available in the CitectSCADA product.
