Wonderware Makes Significant Enhancements to Industry-Leading Data Historian; IndustrialSQL Server 9.0 Historian Features New Scalability, Performance Improvements and Advanced User Features.LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- Wonderware (UIR UIR Upper Flight Information Region UIR Unusual Incident Report UIR User Interface Requirement UIR Wire Connector (used on drawings, etc.; phonetically, UIR sounds like 'wire') UIR Uniform Impedance Resonator UIR User Incident Report :PQG PQG Pharmaceutical Quality Group (London, England) PQG Piecemakers Quilt Guild 2336), a business unit of Invensys Systems Inc., today announced new scalability options, significant performance improvements and advanced user features with the release of version 9.0 of IndustrialSQL Server software. E[acute accent acute accent n. A mark (´) indicating: a. that a vowel is close or tense, as é in French été. b. that a vowel or syllable has a high or rising pitch, as in Chinese or Ancient Greek. c. ]With more than 20,000 installations worldwide since its introduction in 1997, Wonderware's IndustrialSQL Server historian is one of the industry's most popular plant data historians. It integrates information from a wide variety of plant automation and IT information sources to provide plant personnel with a complete data record of plant operations used to assist in today's performance management initiatives. E[acute accent]Version 9.0 introduces a new Personal Edition designed for smaller applications running on Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. XP Professional and SQL Server An earlier relational DBMS from Sybase and from Microsoft. Sybase introduced SQL Server in 1988 for various Unix versions. In that same year, with help from IBM, Sybase created an OS/2 version that Microsoft licensed and branded as Microsoft SQL Server.

It provides a graphics-based visualization of an industrial control and monitoring system. (human-machine interface) historical data recordings. E[acute accent]The Personal Edition also can be easily upgraded to the IndustrialSQL Server software's Standard and Enterprise editions. The Enterprise Edition supports advanced Microsoft Windows server system functions such as clustering. Advanced analysis and reporting tools such as Wonderware's ActiveFactory trending and analysis software can leverage all editions of IndustrialSQL Server software. E[acute accent]In addition, the performance of Version 9.0's retrieval of critical real-time plant information has been significantly improved for rapid decision-making. Powerful data retrieval modes help users extract valuable plant performance information. Version 9.0 also reduces SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. query times by more than 90 percent, which significantly saves valuable IT computing and network resources. E[acute accent]"Using the new data retrieval modes, plant personnel can quickly generate data queries to detect plant inefficiencies and maintenance issues or to identify opportunities to improve plant performance," said Jim Frider, product marketing manager for Wonderware's performance management products. "For example, the 'best-fit' data retrieval mode returns data that shows the relevant information associated with the query. Queries run faster and network traffic is reduced. Most importantly Adv. 1. most importantly - above and beyond all other consideration; "above all, you must be independent" above all, most especially , problem-solvers have the data they need to optimize plant performance." E[acute accent]IndustrialSQL Server 9.0 software now includes a new storage algorithm designed Algorithm design is a specific method to create a mathematical process in solving problems. Applied algorithm design is Algorithm engineering. Algorithm design is identified and incorporated into many solution theories of operation research, such as dynamic to further reduce data storage requirements by up to 70 percent. The new Swinging Door data storage algorithm, pioneered and patented by Invensys' Foxboro business unit, has been integrated into IndustrialSQL Server 9.0 software to greatly reduce data storage requirements and hardware processing demand. Version 9.0 also offers enhanced communications for low and intermittent networks often associated with distributed SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. applications. E[acute accent]"Distributed SCADA applications have challenging data communication issues," Frider said. "IndustrialSQL Server 9.0 software acquires data from radio modem-based systems, which are often hampered by signal interruptions and slow data rates." E[acute accent]In addition, IndustrialSQL Server 9.0 software seamlessly integrates with Wonderware's Industrial Application Server, which is built on the ArchestrA software architecture and provides a unified application environment for visualization, plant history, device communications and the integration of automation and IT applications. The ArchestrA industrial automation and information software architecture reduces the costs associated with designing, building, deploying and maintaining industrial software applications. E[acute accent]"The IndustrialSQL Server historian is designed to collect a wide variety of plant information at very high data rates, using minimum storage capacity and ensuring that factory operators and management, at all levels, have the information available to help drive vital plant productivity and performance improvement initiatives," Frider said.
