Process Mimic

Using the latest object oriented screen-building techniques it is now easier than ever to produce vibrant process mimics within minutes, not hours. Prodigy's Mimic software provides the complete range of drawing tools which you would expect to find in any good drawing package.

Report Generator

By storing batch and recipe data in Microsoft's Access format it is easy to access this data from familiar packages such as Microsoft Excel, Borland Paradox or any SQL compliant package.

Real Time and Historic Trending

Probably the most versatile trending package on the market today. Combining batch, continuous, peak and average modes of viewing process variables along with powerful zoom and pan controls makes it easy to gain a detailed insight into process performance and disturbances. Optional levels of data smoothing allow "noisy" signals to be cleaned up on screen and the data may be exported "as seen" to other packages including spread sheets and database software.

Recipe & Batch Data Handling

Prodigy's XForm facility allows users to set up their own screen based forms which make handling recipes and production/batch data effortless. Recipe and batch information is stored in Access database format, making it available to a host of other PC applications.

Down Time Monitoring With PUMA

Efficiency is the key to successful business management. Tascomp's Production Utilisation Monitoring and Analysis (PUMA) package runs alongside Prodigy to provide machine utilisation and down time monitoring. By quickly highlighting key areas of inefficiency, it allows managers to target their maintenance and upgrade resources for maximum effect.

On-Line Plant Maintenance

Removing the need for a separate routine maintenance package, Prodigy's on-line plant maintenance facility allows pictures, drawings, manuals, sounds and video footage to be incorporated into the plant mimic displays.

Network Connectivity

Prodigy's open system architecture and use of Microsoft's peer to peer networking allows Prodigy to share information through the company's computer network.

Remote Workstation - Allows a master Prodigy server to be accessed remotely via the standard office network. This allows any number of remote PCs to view the displays and information from the server, simultaneously, without disturbing the user of the main Prodigy system.

Interconnect Stations - Provides a distributed system capability. This allows data to be shared by multiple Prodigy servers and can be configured to allow any Interconnect Station access to signal values from any other part of the system process. This is the backbone behind Prodigy's Distributed Control System (DCS) capability.

Modem Support Pack - Allows Prodigy systems to be supported remotely from Tascomp.
