Kinesix Increases Connection Between Real-Time Graphics and Back-End Data with Enhanced Version of KX EDGE.Kinesix marks latest milestone in bringing .NET graphics to massive data streams HOUSTON -- Kinesix Software has announced the release of an upgraded version of its KX EDGE product for .NET architectures: KX EDGE Version 1.5. Understanding complex data in real-time is crucial to keeping up with the flow of business today. KX EDGE, which debuted in its original version in April 2006, allows users to monitor huge volumes of data across a networked user base via sophisticated real-time graphics - without the need to develop or maintain complex proprietary software. The new iteration One repetition of a sequence of instructions or events. For example, in a program loop, one iteration is once through the instructions in the loop. See iterative development. (programming) iteration - Repetition of a sequence of instructions. of the product offers several significant advances that will enable users to sit back and better manage their projects. These features include: * Enhanced data adaptors * 3-tier architecture * Expanded Custom API "Thanks to our new version of KX EDGE, companies in almost any industry can create and use complex graphical user-interfaces for command-and-control applications with an unprecedented level of ease," said Russ Jamerson, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Kinesix. "The product's fully-realized use of the .NET framework means that users can seamlessly connect a wide variety of back-end data sources through dynamic graphics and data animations." According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2.

Moreover, KX EDGE requires very little graphics programming and network programming. This allows the user to separate graphics and networking capabilities from the primary command-and-control application, simplifying the overall development and maintenance. In addition to the added benefits of version 1.5, Kinesix is planning several additional improvements to KX EDGE over the next year, including: * GIS/mapping component * Enhanced web base client * Added security enhancements KX EDGE builds on the previous successes of Kinesix's flagship dynamic data-visualization product Sammi: a long-standing custom-graphics tool that has been used by more than 250 companies worldwide, including some of the world's largest aerospace corporations such as Lockheed Martin For the former company, see .

These include gas-pipeline operators, nuclear-power companies and mass-transit systems. Westinghouse, for example, has deployed Kinesix's products as an integral user-interface for the command-and-control operations behind subway systems in Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov. , Beijing and Vancouver. "Integrating numerous control functions into a single operational system requires a human-machine interface capable of displaying huge volumes of steaming data across dozens of workstations," said Ian Whitehead, project manager at Westinghouse Rail Systems Westinghouse Rail Systems Ltd (formerly Westinghouse Signals Ltd) is a British supplier of railway signalling and control equipment to the rail industry worldwide. Its head office is in Chippenham, Wiltshire, where it manufactures a variety of mechanical and electrical/electronic . "Fortunately, Kinesix's software makes it possible to do just that, offering capabilities that meet very demanding environments." About Kinesix Software Kinesix Software is the developer of Sammi, an enterprise and control-room graphics tool used by more than 20,000 mission-command and process-control workers. The Sammi product, which was first launched in 1990, allows users to build custom graphical displays that animate and manage massive volumes of streaming data Data that is structured and processed in a continuous flow, such as digital audio and video. See streaming audio and streaming video. across dozens - or even hundreds - of workstations. With Sammi, users see full-color dashboards, instead of rudimentary numeric readings or basic, conventional GUIs. While Sammi is often categorized as a graphics product, its real value lies in its proven ability to display live data across a network of command and control systems. Sammi is currently available for Unix, Microsoft NT/2000/XP and Linux platforms. In addition, Kinesix recently released KX EDGE, its next-generation human-machine interface, based on Microsoft's .Net platform. Kinesix is based in Houston, Texas “Houston” redirects here.
