PcVue is a new generation of SCADA software. It is characterised by modern ergonomics and by tools based on object technology to reduce and optimise applications development. Developed by ARC Informatique using the latest tools from Microsoft (Visual C#, MFC, ActiveX and .NET), it incorporates Microsoft-developed user interface standards and the security features of Windows 2000 and XP. This new PcVue range was conceived from the recommendations of integrators, OEMs and end-users, then developed using ARC's considerable experience in the industrial automation sector. PcVue is more than simple software for graphic animation; it is a product able to meet industrial standards of reliability and performance while still maintaining the user-friendliness of an office application. PcVue is a flexible solution intended for the supervision of industrial processes, utilities and infrastructures. PcVue meets the requirements of both straightforward single-user applications and of complex client-server applications with redundant capability. PcVue also offers a thin-client solution using WebVue. This software operates within a normal browser either on an intranet or via the Internet, with the necessary controls for security and safety. Recent developments to PcVue range integration with the company's other products, including MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), CAM (Computer Assisted Maintenance), SCM (Supply Chain Management) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).
