What is the SCADA – PSi4 supervisory system?
The PSi4 System is an industrial SCADA supervisory system developed based on the concepts of Industry 4.0. Its purpose is to offer a tool for monitoring and supervision of multiple processes, allowing for integrated management and control of industrial plants (in any sector), building automation, various brands of hospital automation, PLCs, as well as all Marrari systems.
The system is fully configurable by the user or integrator, providing a powerful tool for real-time process supervision and management.
The PSi4 System (industrial SCADA and industrial control supervisory system) is a package composed of several software components:
Si4 Server – Data and Services Platform
The Si4 Server (within this industrial control SCADA system) is responsible for acquiring and storing data from plant devices, making this information available to the entire platform environment and for external integration. It includes tools for monitoring and maintaining the device network and collected data. Other software components can visualize and act in real-time on the plant’s activities using the Si4 Server, as well as query the collected data history for various studies. All resources of the Si4 Server have multi-user access control for system security.
Vi4 Viewer – Supervision Platform
The Vi4 Viewer (within the SCADA industrial control platform) provides a unified environment with tools for developing and visualizing supervision screens, providing greater agility in editing and using supervision features. The interface is fully configurable, offering a library of images, text elements, multi-user access, alarms, graphs, and tables.
With the platform, it is possible to create and customize various supervision screens and dashboards for your process in a personalized manner without the need for a programmer, making it an easy-to-manage software.
Mi4 Additional Modules
The Mi4 Modules are general-purpose or custom software for each application. These modules perform a variety of tasks, such as sending alarms and events via email and mobile devices, integration with other databases, data generation for production control, advanced process control (machine learning), and various customizations.
