CODRA is excited to announce the release of Panorama Suite 2025. This new LTSC (Long Term Support Channel) version marks a significant milestone for the Panorama Suite, representing the culmination of a development process that began with PS2022 and spanned three versions (PS2022, PS2023, PS2025).
This major release focuses on six key themes, each with specific objectives for Panorama:
- Deployment and architecture : Simplifying application deployment while enhancing flexibility and security
- Application Development : Making application development straightforward
- Application Ergonomics : Creating a more user-friendly application
- Interoperability : Opening up the platform for greater connectivity
- Panorama COOX : Integrating the first MES QPI module into Panorama Suite
- Customer Portal : Empowering our customers and partners to use Panorama independently
DEPLOYMENT AND ARCHITECTURE : GROUPED COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS
Enhance collaboration between IT and OT departments by ensuring your application adheres to the latest IT standards.
Panorama facilitates the grouping of various communication channels onto a single communications bus. This consolidation reduces the cyberattack surface and minimizes setup time, and reducing the number of ports required to be open. The grouping of communication channels results in three key functionalities:
- JSON RPC brings a new protocol,
- Securing SQL communications,
- Web HMI Server acts as a ReverseProxy.
DEPLOYMENT AND ARCHITECTURE : CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT
Achieve a more secure SCADA application, contributing to the overall security of your network architecture. Manage certificates with greater precision and ease, normalising their use. Certificates become quicker and easier to implement, simplifying responsiveness to changes and reducing application downtime
Panorama offers two tools to standardize and centralize certificate management:
- Panorama PKI tool,
- Certificate validity monitoring tool.
APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
With Panorama, creating SCADA applications becomes simpler, reducing both development and maintenance times, thereby enhancing the application’s longevity.
Each new version from CODRA makes application building easier, especially in terms of using and writing scripts. Since the previous version, two-thirds of scripts can now be replaced by “native” features, and their configuration has been simplified. This overall simplification is driven by three key features:
- New navigation features
- Integrating C# into Panorama
- New feature: Panorama component methods
- User-Rights management enhanced by the concepts of geographical Areas and business Rolls
aPPLICATION ERGONOMICS
Work with applications that are accessible to every team and adaptable to the individual needs of different users. Facilitate easier and faster user adoption and training. Create a more powerful application to enhance SCADA’s effectiveness and optimize the management of your facilities.
Panorama introduces even more features for integrating UI/UX design into applications, a crucial aspect today:
- Creating a Panorama system design,
- A significant increase in the Web HMI capability.
Interoperability
Easily integrate your SCADA application into your system, reducing installation, maintenance, and setup times without the need for specific tools. Extend the capabilities of your Panorama application to adapt to new systems, equipment, and users.
Panorama is enhancing its global compatibility with key third-party systems in the SCADA field:
- Compatibility with BACnet 2020 and BACnet S/C standards
- Compatibility with S7Comm protocol for direct communication with Siemens S7 PLCs: S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200 et S7-1500
- Extensions to the Panorama Security pack
THE ADDITION OF Panorama COOX
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is the next stage in CODRA’s development. We are launching Panorama COOX, the first MES software integrated into Panorama Suite.
MES software monitors and documents industrial processes. In its first version, Panorama COOX brings QPI (Quality Performance & Indicators) functionality, a module dedicated to equipment performance.
Like the other Panorama products, Panorama COOX adheres to the same standards of: robustness, cybersecurity, scalability, interoperability, and multi-sector applicability. While consistent with the rest of the suite, it is also completely independent, making it easy to install.
CLIENT PORTAL
