RICHMOND, Virginia — Tridium announced the general market release of NiagaraAX the latest version of its market leading Niagara Framework®. Niagara is a software framework specifically designed to address the challenges of building device-to-enterprise applications, Internet-enabled products and Internet-based automation systems. NiagaraAX provides a unified, feature rich platform which streamlines the development process significantly reducing implementation costs for manufacturers and systems integrators.

NiagaraAX creates a common environment that connects to almost any embedded device imaginable, regardless of manufacturer or communication protocol. NiagaraAX models the data and behavior of devices into normalized software components, providing a seamless, uniform view of device data to the enterprise via a wide variety of IP-based protocols and XML-based connectivity options, and open API’s. 

NiagaraAX advances the state of the art with many new capabilities including: an open communication driver development kit, an extensible component model, a built-in reporting engine that automatically generates PDF documents, support for dynamic data displays in standard PDA’s and cell phones, enhanced tools for creating animated information displays in standard web-browsers, support for web-services for easy integration with enterprise applications, and the ability to run on smaller, lower cost processor platforms.
