Codra engineering services were awarded ISO 9001 certification (1994 standard) as of 1998. This certificate was extended to the development of Panorama Suite in 2000.
In November 2003, it was renewed against the 2000 standard and extended to the technical support activity.
As part of the renewal process in December 2007, certification was extended to include the marketing activity for the Panorama Suite, so that all Codra functions are now certified.
In December 2012, it was renewed against the 2008 standard.
In December 2017, it was renewed against the 2015 standard (Ref. QUAL/1998/8987.8).
OPC UA Certification
As an OPC Foundation member since 1998, Panorama Suite was awarded OPC UA Client and Server certification in 2016.
OPC (OLE for Process Control) is an open interface standard. Based on the specifications for OLE/COM and DCOM technologies, OPC facilitates and standardizes data exchange between process control applications, SCADA and automation systems, field equipment and even management applications.
We have implemented the latest OPC version, OPC Unified Architecture, which primarily enables:
- Communications running as a Web service (SOA) and without COM/DCOM (specific to Microsoft)
- Cross-platform operation and native integration of the protocol in the PLCs
- Encrypted communications
- Authentication systems with profile management.
