FACTWARE is very broadly applicable. Computing devices running FACTWARE can be used to remotely monitor and control virtually any local control system. These devices can also be directly connected to virtually any actuators and wired or wireless sensors so that they function as stand-alone local and remote monitoring and control systems. This flexibility ensures widespread applicability. Some of FACTWARE's most important applications are as follows.
 CHEMICAL WATER TREATMENT
With FACTWARE-enabled devices monitoring and controlling feed and bleed controllers dispensing chemicals for cooling towers and boilers, reps no longer have to do on site troubleshooting or make emergency calls to solve problems. FACTWARE keeps system performance optimized and permits control of local systems, anywhere, anytime.
WATER & WASTEWATER UTILITIES
Water and wastewater treatment plant managers must ensure optimum performance of widely scattered pumps and treatment equipment. The use of SCADAs to monitor and control equipment is limited by high cost. Wireless FACTWARE-enabled devices give utility managers a low cost option to remotely monitor and control equipment. Result: Lower costs are achieved, while efficiency, reliability and compliance are improved.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
Precise environmental monitoring is a must for effective Environmental Management Systems. FACTWARE-enabled devices give managers a low cost option to monitor and control numerous I/O points. Complex events involving many variables are continuously monitored and communicated to the right people at the right time for immediate action or analysis. Result: FACTWARE increases efficiency, performance, reliability, safety and compliance.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Telecom and IT facilities house extensive mission critical systems like switchgear, computers, servers, UPS, HVAC and back-up generators. This equipment is left un-monitored at the peril of the enterprise. High cost conventional monitors are a barrier to achieving the in depth monitoring needed to ensure the highest levels of reliability and availability. Low cost FACTWARE running on low cost computers makes widespread deployment of remote monitoring and control cost-effective; enables the control of all mission critical equipment; and ensures the highest levels of reliability and performance.
MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES
Large manufacturers using SCADAs achieve high levels of reliability, safety and productivity. However, the cost of SCADAs is beyond the reach of many small manufacturers. Smaller manufacturers can now afford to use low cost FACTWARE-enabled computers as compact SCADAs to link up previously isolated men and machines into a powerful, interactive communications, monitoring and control network. Result: Decreased downtime and improved reliability, productivity, quality and competitiveness.
BUILDING & FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Building and facilities managers know that the more points monitored, the greater the precision of control that can be achieved over mission critical energy, telecom, fire prevention and security systems. However, their ability monitor and control widely scattered equipment is limited by the high cost of conventional monitoring systems. Low cost, wireless FACTWARE-enabled devices make it cost effective to monitor and control many more points than would ever be possible with conventional technology. Result: Significantly enhanced performance, reliability, safety and cost savings.
SECURITY
Securing facilities against unauthorized intrusion is a high cost proposition that limits deployment to the most critical applications. The use of FACTWARE-enabled devices in security systems permit the implementation of low cost, mobile, wireless monitoring and communications networks that notify personnel of security breaches and continuously update first responders immediately as events unfold. Result: Security personnel can precisely respond to threats of all kinds and rapidly bring them under control.
