The wide range of communication protocols in Elipse solutions gives you flexible data collection from hundreds of devices, sensors, and meters from different manufacturers, protecting your investments and cutting operating costs through data integration. Centralized maintenance, native redundancy, and a virtualized architecture also significantly lower operating costs and reduce system downtime.

Elipse solutions give you an integrated view: from data collection and contextualization by asset (controllers, valves, motors, conveyor belts, and pumps) to data storage and KPI retrieval with analytical tools.

The three main Elipse solutions for these needs are:

Elipse E3: a distributed, mission-critical SCADA system that has been on the market for more than 20 years, constantly evolving in flexibility, communication capabilities, and modeling tools. It meets the most demanding requirements of 24/7 supervisory control, with native redundancy, an advanced alarm system compliant with ISA 18.2, and extensive customization.

Elipse Plant Manager (EPM): the core of operational intelligence, where data from multiple sources is stored and monitored, allowing you to calculate KPIs, trends, and forecasts. Its client tools let you analyze charts and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and access a real-time corporate portal.

Elipse Mobile: lets you send commands from mobile devices and view process variables, KPIs, and events. Its forms support manual data collection, such as inspection routines and other maintenance data, which can then be stored directly in EPM.

Benefits our customers have gained with these solutions:

• Protected investments: preserves devices with limited connectivity, thanks to a wide range of protocols and new interfaces developed on demand
• More hardware options: gives you a broader choice of suppliers when expanding the system
• Faster response and learning: unifies isolated systems in a single platform
• Tailored systems: adapts to each customer’s needs through highly flexible data modeling
• Fast support: customer service and technical support come from the same team that develops the product
• Complete view: integrates manual and route-based data entry with remotely monitored data
• Mobile access: makes data available on mobile devices, bringing more agility and lower maintenance and operating costs
• Better decisions: improves KPI visibility and decision accuracy through a single view of the process and automated calculations on collected data
• Flexible reporting: combines information from different systems and processes for faster, safer operation, planning, and maintenance
