Invensys Increases Facility Management Solutions capabilities with new Partner FMS Integration Package

ConneXSoft FMS Integration package 3.0 released

JANUARY 30, 2011 / PLANO, TEXAS - Invensys Operations Management, a global provider of technology systems, software solutions and consulting services to the manufacturing and infrastructure operations industries, today announced the release of Industry Application for Facility Management Solutions (FMS), version 3.0, with its endorsed software partner ConneXSoft. This release enhances the capabilities for FMS solutions built on Wonderware System Platform by deepening integration for the major FMS protocols already supported. It also enables connectivity and integration to new protocols and devices so that system integrators and customers now have resources to build and deliver more advanced and broader FMS solutions.

The ConneXSoft Industry Application for Facilities Management version 3.0 is able to collect and process building automation information from large distributed campuses or multi-building/multi-site operations to allow central supervision. To manage heterogeneous building automation system environments, the FMS Integration package supports the leading, open industry communications standards such as BACnet®, i.LON®, SNMP and OPC, as well as provides a new class of industry-specific application generators, application objects and engineering tools.

“We have combined Wonderware solutions with ConneXSoft technology to provide facilities managers a better choice when it comes to installation, service and maintenance of their operations,” said John Bishop, manager, global industry solutions, Invensys Operations Management.

“The FMS Integration package makes Wonderware System Platform an open SCADA system choice for facilities management solutions in a market that is dominated by closed-proprietary systems. Customers now have a competitive choice for products, services and maintenance and can leverage the largest global network of independent system integrators,” Bishop said. “The freedom of choice that an open system allows reduces total cost of ownership by lowering project costs and risks, as well as reduces the long-term costs of maintaining the deployed systems.”

“We deliver reliable communications to our customers combined with a new class of unmatched productivity tools to integrate Wonderware software solutions,” said Dr. Walter Immler, managing director of operations at ConneXSoft. “This Industry Application will enable users to quickly and easily build and control very complex building automation and energy management projects.”
