PcVue, Inc. has partnered with InformaTrac, Inc., to offer enhanced traceability for asset management. The offering reduces operations costs and improves efficiency for manufacturers as well as managers of energy management and intelligent buildings by reducing or eliminating time spent locating mobile assets.
InformaTrac specializes in information traceability, data collection and analytics for the manufacturing and utility industries. Headquartered in California, the company is now a PcVue Solutions Value Added Reseller in California, Nevada and Arizona.
The combination of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) technology with Auto-ID technology integrated using innovative traceability strategies provides automated tracking and location history. Graphical displays with real-time symbology overlaid on familiar maps from Google or Microsoft or when performing indoor tracking using standard floor plans, provides an intuitive way to visualize the current location of assets and workers. Efficient software search functions all but eliminate wasted manual inventories. Auto-ID hardware provides infrastructure necessary for automatically sensing assets and updating their location in real-time.
InformaTrac’s InformaTrac Pro software combined with PcVue’s SCADA platform yields a flexible and powerful traceability solution. Real-time information from PcVue’s Human Machine Interface (HMI) when enhanced with InformaTrac’s powerful web reporting tools, provides a simple-to-configure and easy-to-deploy system for monitoring asset or people movement. When an asset is moved to an unauthorized or unsafe location, proactive alerts, information and controls are delivered to the worker’s mobile device based on their job function. At central control, the excursion is highlighted in the form of an alarm. This patent-pending contextual HMI technology proactively delivers the information and controls allowing for rapid response or dispatch when there is concern for safety or security.
