In view of a total integration within existing systems we developed our S&S Systems TagToolBox (TTB).
This module is able to communicate with all existing open standards like OPC, ODBC, JDBC, http(s) and many others. Custom communication drivers can be integrated in special cases, saving you the hassle of expensive low level system upgrades.
Our S&S TTB module is fully integrated into S&S MIS, and allows the user to define the downtime which will be automatically uploaded into your daily registration.
This structural approach guarantees that, while modifying the actual installation or its controls, your downtime definition can be adapted to the new situation without modifying the source code. These features will also help you to save time and money.
