SCADA-AWARE MOBILE

Why SCADA-Aware Mobile is unique

SCADA-Aware Mobile is the only product that provides a comprehensive solution to the persistent alarm-related problems that engineers, technicians, and managers face. SCADA-Aware Mobile is not just a notification or monitoring tool. When an alarm goes off, it gives you control and awareness on the situation through reliable and accountable alarm message delivery, proximity-based alerts to the right people, access to SCADA data from your mobile device, automated collaboration of resources, and automatic, intelligent escalations. No other product provides all of these. For example, Visual KPI shows data, but it's not an alarm solution. U.C.ME.-OPC and Win911 do not send proximity-based alerts and nor do they help with automated collaboration. The list can continue, and will only show how effective and comprehensive SCADA-Aware Mobile is.
