GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, a unit of GE Enterprise Solutions, announced that it reached an agreement to globally resell Catapult Software’s iPower SCADA product as a standard Proficy HMI/SCADA - iFIX option.
According to GE Fanuc, iPower, which targets electrical transmission and distribution SCADA applications, delivers additional key functionality, including built-in object security, enhanced graphic capability, standard operator interfaces, alarm and event reporting, and standard drag and drop electrical utility objects.
“Using the combination of a standard offthe- shelf HMI package in combination with Catapult’s iPower allows utility operations to implement a true SCADA solution at lower cost point than the traditional SCADA suppliers,” said Marcel van Helten, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platform’s Global Industry Director for Infrastructure. “It clearly delivers better scalability and integration with additional functions.”
“We have been delivering iPower for eight years to the electrical transmission and distribution industry,” said Tony Haresnape CEO of Catapult Software. “This agreement allows our combined customers to get a complete solution from a global supplier like GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. As a part of the arrangement, we have ensured that our development efforts are coordinated and focused on delivering integrated value.”
