From scientists to field data collectors, the energy industry is embracing mobile computing as a result of recent advancements in wireless communications and hand-held computing devices. Where field measurement data was previously captured with the traditional pen and paper method, new software tools are improving accuracy, efficiency, and data quality from the data collection process.
Other scenarios exist where proprietary hardware and software deployed has created restrictions on what types of new applications can be installed without replacing the existing platforms. Recursion Software offers software development tools that leverage existing platforms, and enable our customers to take advantage of the emerging mobile computing environment. Through the deployment of our development tools, we enable our customers to turn distributed computing environments into distributed knowledge networks.

 Invensys Case Study |
Overview
In the past, Control System vendors developed proprietary hardware and software with restrictions that limited the Control System functionality to specific brands. For years the only option in Control Systems Management was to purchase hardware and software that were vendor specific and sometimes lacking in scalability, with capabilities that could migrate from one release to the next.
Utilizing the advanced features of Recursion Software’s Voyager® and Voyager Messaging, Recursion Software worked with a leading supplier of instruments, systems and services for industrial process automation to implement the first of a generation of standards-based, open industrial systems designed to meet the total measurement, control and real-time information requirements of today's plants.
The systems architecture consists of easily integrated, highly configurable modules that can be scaled for use in any size plant. The software is platform independent and can run on virtually any platform. The system has maintained its technological leadership over time, enabling users to continuously leverage the latest technologies for improved plant performance, while preserving their investments in system hardware, software, and applications.
Project Goals and Objectives
-
Utilize existing industry standards and third party modules where necessary.
- Develop a suite of highly configurable tools that encompass Order Movement Management (OMM), Tank Inventory System (TIS), Batch Tracking (BTM), Movement Automation System (MAS), and Blend Optimization (BOSS).
- Develop a suite that is platform independent and scalable from a simple PLC driven system or a CDS/FF system from any vendor.
- Support existing technology including Java, OPC connectivity, database systems from Oracle, Informix, and SQL server, SAP and some open source products.
Results
The Refinery Off-Sites Solutions Suite consists of modules that are each highly configurable and can be scaled for use in any size plant. The modules integrate seamlessly. The software is platform independent and can be run on virtually any platform.
Voyager is able to automatically reconnect clients after a network failure, without the need of a separate registry process or stub/skeleton generation during development.
“We deploy on almost all Windows platforms, and several versions of Sun Solaris, and Voyager works without noticeable difference on all of them, even in mixed networks. Deployment itself is easy since you only have to package a few libraries,” said Richard Spaninks, Development Manager of Invensys Systems N.V. “Over the years, Voyager is the only software package we have used through several newer versions of our product, multiple updates to the Java language, and several operation systems changes without significant porting or compatibility problems.” |
