Real-time web-based system monitoring

New techniques in software architecture and development have empowered users by giving them access to real-time plant data in a fluid and versatile environment. These solutions allow you to custom configure a control screen right from your web browser with analog gauges, digital gauges, charts, spider charts and. more. Data is sent in real-time from your PLCs directly to a central repository on the Internet, where trends and reports can be generated with the click of a button. This paper will illustrate how such a flexible system can function through a case study in the oil and gas industry. The aim of such a system is to allow key decision makers easy access to personalized information that is necessary for them to make critical decisions.
