New Version X5 Of The PSIM Platform WinGuard
For three decades, WinGuard has been one of the leading PSIM platforms for the unified visualization and control of subsystems. Recently Advancis has presented its new version WinGuard X5 which is based on the new software platform AOP and thus offers more flexibility through open access for 3rd party applications.
As networking and digitization steadily continue to advance, it is important for control room personnel to work with software platforms that can be operated intuitively and are flexible to extend. A multitude of single systems provides a mass of information that is hard to keep track of – whether from security management, building automation, or communication technology. The unification of numerous sensor data by using a PSIM platform is the only logical solution.
Scalability
WinGuard PSIM is used in various verticals like industry, finance, transport, and healthcare –from small installations with only one workstation up to crosslinked network solutions with numerous international locations. The platform is scalable and can be extended seamlessly by further interface or function modules. Currently, over 470 interface drives to different security, building management as well as communication systems are available and related systems such as ticketing, computer-aided dispatch systems, and IoT technologies can also be connected.
The new version WinGuard X5 is based on the Advancis Open Platform (AOP), offering even more flexibility by open access for third-party developers. A growing number of PSIM projects with more and more specific and partly very individual requirements has led to the fact that solutions have to be more and more realized based on generic concepts. Now partners and customers can extend the software as desired with functionalities, interfaces, and individual UI components. All extensions integrate seamlessly into the existing application and are based on a uniform API which can be used in principle with any programming language.
Important milestone
AOP is strategically the most transformative product development in Advancis’ corporate history. This milestone paves the way for expansion by creating an open platform that offers almost unlimited possibilities. When implementing extensions, a partner or customer does not have to start from scratch. Redundant network structures, distributed data storage, system communication, object modeling as well as diverse UI components are available as a framework for different programming languages. Created components can be certified within the Advancis Developer Partner Program to license them to other users. The new version WinGuard X5 is an important milestone, as due to AOP, the software can be customized to a previously impossible level. Customers’ needs about the realization of a PSIM project can be met faster and more extensively.
