Helps keep track of Resources
January 1st 2006

The latest version of WebWare from ABB helps customers keep track of their production resources by gathering data from ABB controllers, PLCs and other plant-floor devices.

It makes such data easily accessible through Microsoft Internet Explorer, allowing customers to safeguard and optimise their investment in robotics.

The new release, version 4.6, includes new features including improvements to the Custom databases concept, part of webWare's Report Module.

Custom Databases allow customers to design their own databases in order to fully support all their needs for automatic data acquisition.

Database archiving functions in webWare have also been extended to ensure that customers can keep their data for long periods without running out if disk space.

Extra features to W ebWare Backup Module have been incorporated, including functions to trace the reason why backups are executed and the ability foe users to insert comments as to when and why the back-up took place.
