Repost: 14 Product Launches That Rocked And Why, with comments

as marketers, it's always interesting to understand why some product launches succeed, while others fail.  It's not just product--but reaching the unmet needs of your audience. 

For the industrial market, we see daily the need for better reporting, analysis, visualization.  There are a plethora of products available from your favorite industrial vendor, and for some, that may be enough.  Other customers may want "best of breed" to ensure that their needs are met.

We at Invensys have viewed our real-time platform as a cornerstone of our offerings, building out that framework for visualization, analysis and execution.  It's a way of managing not only initial needs, but growth and expansion.  And it works.

Coca-Cola Swaziland uses Wonderware Solutions to Optimize Energy Usage and Reduce Costs

Recognizing the need for an effective energy management strategy, Coca-Cola Swaziland (Conco Ltd.) decided to investigate further and what they found surprised everyone.

While there are many definitions for energy management, they mostly focus on two aspects; maximizing profits or minimizing costs through lower energy consumption. However, it’s rare to see actual practical examples of how one actually goes about achieving these desirable goals and that’s because the solution is a great deal more complex than switching off something when it’s not in use.

Coca-Cola Swaziland  selected a range of software solutions from the Invensys Wonderware stable to help them manage energy consumption and costs. These solutions included the System Platform based on ArchestrA technology, Historian and Client, InTouch SCADA / HMI, Information Server, SmartGlance for mobile reporting and Wonderware’s Corporate Energy Management (CEM) package.

Wonderware Training: Introduction to ArchestrA Toolkits

Introduction to ArchestrA Toolkits

An introductory training class for ArchestrA Toolkits is now being offered. Tool kits provide powerful extensibility to InTouch HMI and System Platform applications enabling developers to extend the capabilities of Wonderware products to meet specific system integration needs. Our Toolkits promote adherence to industry standards, provide additional customization and intellectual property protection, and enhance the ability to interface Wonderware products with other software and hardware.

Toolkits are utilized primarily by System Integrators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Value-Added Resellers (VARs), and software developers that require a relatively high level of programming sophistication.
