Faced with the growing complexity of industrial, tertiary and hospital environments, a high-performance monitoring tool can no longer be limited to a generalist approach. Technical installations are diversifying, regulatory constraints are increasing and expectations in terms of cybersecurity, energy efficiency and user comfort are evolving. In this context, how can you ensure that your monitoring system truly meets the needs of your business?
Why does a SCADA tool need to be tailored to specific business lines?
Each sector has its own constraints, priorities and performance indicators. The SCADA tool must therefore speak the language of the field. In industry, for example, real-time control, production monitoring, complete traceability and indicators such as OEE are required to optimise performance. The building sector, meanwhile, focuses on energy management, occupant comfort and multi-site monitoring. In healthcare, the priority is safety, system redundancy and strict regulatory compliance.
Using a solution that is too general in these contexts often means making costly adaptations or circumventing basic functionalities. The result: business teams that are not fully involved, more complex operations and reduced overall performance. It is therefore a fact that the more a SCADA tool is aligned with business uses, the more useful, usable and sustainable it is.
Panorama, a modular SCADA tool designed for business adaptation
The Panorama suite is much more than just SCADA. It is a unified software platform that combines SCADA (Panorama E²), logging (Panorama H²) and real-time communication (Panorama COM) functions. This modular approach allows companies to build their own SCADA tool by activating only the necessary components.
Panorama’s modularity translates into an open, interoperable and scalable architecture. Each project can be based on specific features: graphical SCADA, alarm management, redundancy, long-term logging, reporting, web interface, etc. All this with a high degree of customisation and compatibility with the main market standards.
Panorama also stands out for its ability to integrate into modern IT infrastructures: cloud- , cybersecurity by design (in accordance with ANSSI recommendations), support for REST APIs and IoT technologies. This flexibility allows users to support their digital transformation while ensuring the longevity of their technical architecture.
A vertical approach for each sector: concrete examples and business expertise
Thanks to its modular structure and the business expertise of its teams, Panorama is able to offer a vertical approach tailored to the challenges of each sector:
- Industry: Panorama is widely deployed in industrial process automation. It enables real-time monitoring of production lines, performance analysis (OEE), critical alarm management and secure connection between OT and IT layers. Panorama also facilitates the transition to Industry 4.0 thanks to its compatibility with IoT protocols and its ability to upload data to management platforms.
- Smart buildings: Panorama integrates seamlessly with BMS/FM systems to provide a centralised view of all technical installations, including heating, ventilation, lighting and security. It optimises consumption, programs automation scenarios (off-peak hours, presence detection, etc.) and improves occupant comfort while ensuring multi-site control.
- Healthcare: in hospital environments, SCADA cannot afford any failures. Panorama continuously monitors critical installations (generators, air handling units, medical fluids, cold rooms), ensures event traceability and meets strict regulatory requirements. Its redundant architecture guarantees the service continuity that is essential in this sector.
In the age of digitalisation, an effective SCADA tool can no longer be limited to standard functions. It must adapt to the reality on the ground, business requirements and technological developments. Panorama offers a modular, robust and open software solution that can be integrated into all environments, from smart buildings to Industry 4.0 and the healthcare sector. This ability to combine technological flexibility with business specificity makes Panorama a real performance lever for organisations.
