Development Background |
|

|
|
| |
 The graphic control software seldom provides overall system integration, and the data resource
sharing among levels is
difficult, or even impossible. |
The integrators often need to design systems using the equipment SDK, connect I/O to database
through various
standards, thus increase the project cost and reduce the working efficiency. |
Smart 4 provides overall integration for all levels to reduce the development time, so that
the system integrators can
focus on the expert field (such as air conditioning, sewage
treatment, etc.) to enhance the trust from the customers. |

|
| |
| The hardware and software of different levels are constituted from different vendors, so the
function coordination among equipments is difficult. |
| Using the inadequate SDK functions, the integrators cannot perform the system optimum. |
The overall functions may be acceptable in checking step, but the following system
performance, reliability and safety
are very poor. |

|
| |
The overall system integration and the customers add-on requirements (such as data calculation
and analysis) make
design more difficult, so the integrator cannot satisfy the customers, the
system just keep to monitor equipments, do
not provide full auto control functions. |

The integration of the traditional control system is poor, the user-interface is not friendly,
such as, to retrieve or query a
record may need to run several programs, hard in access
operating, and cause configuring error often (below).
|
Smart 4 is the I/O control system of environmental devices, the personnel access control system,
and the monitoring
system. Users can retrieve the queried card number, machine, personnel data
and image record via an easy user-
interface using the same software. Smart 4 simplify the
operating process, combine various authorize management,
and reduce the probability of
operating errors. |
| Compare the traditional software with Smart 4 in querying personnel access record and video data
as below. |
| |
|
|
| |
The querying process for the personnel access record/video in traditional software |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
Step 1. Query a specific card number and access time in the access control software of
the
SCADA server.
|
Step 2. Retrieve a specific time video via the access time and screen copy to files in
the video
software of the Video server. |
| Step 3. Compare the video files with the staff image record that queried by the card
number in the personnel database of the personnel database server. |
| With the complex process and the two-tier structure, once the server computers are
offline, the entire system will useless. |
| |
|

| |
Smart 4 querying process for the personnel access record/video |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
All the steps are processed in the Smart 4 Server. Query a specific time/person access data
in the historical events window, and also display the corresponding video record and the
personnel basic data.
|
| |
| If Smart 4 Server is offline, the card readers can still work, and can copy/query the video
record from the Smart 4 Second Server. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Smart 4 system was customized according to the demand at that time, no future expanding
planning. After one year
warranty, when customers want to expand I/O points or new functions,
they often need to build a new system, or to
destroy the original structure that always leads
to a system architecture collapse.
|
| |
| Based on above, Smart System upgrades with the principles of economic, performance, value
and convenience to launch the grand new version "Smart 4". |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Conclusion: |
|
| |
Smart 4 gives a new thinking for system development, designs functions in users view, frames the system core on ten years of integration experience, provides an easy-to-use, reliable and overall designing solution for system integrators developing the environmental control systems, and achieves the win-win goal of the end-users, system integrators and equipment manufacturers.
