On SCADA projects, “bigger” SCADA platforms tend to lack competitiveness: they are considered too expensive, too complex, with offerings that are difficult to understand. Often, “lighter” or highly specialised alternatives are preferred.

However, using more general SCADA application means benefiting from a higher level of quality, robustness and durability — without sacrificing the simplicity you expect.

Essentials Web Unlimited gives you access to the Panorama experience in a package that’s easy to understand and designed for small installations: simple to calculate, simple to explain and simple to use.

THE OFFER IN 4 POINTS

Packaged solution

Essentials Web Unlimited is designed to eliminate unnecessary complexity on small projects. Instead of multiplying options, the package brings together what is most often needed:

• An adapted variable ceiling
• Unlimited Web clients
• Up to two protocols included
• Development workshop

The result: a framework that is simple to explain and qualify, with fewer special cases. For integrators, this speeds up costing and makes the proposal easier to defend. For specifiers, it limits the number of interpretations and variants of responses. For end customers, it makes the solution clearer, and therefore more reassuring.

More predictable costs

On compact projects, the budget often drifts by successive small additions: an additional access, an unanticipated protocol, an ‘essential’ option discovered late. With Essentials Web Unlimited, the essentials are taken care of from the outset. The unlimited Web clients avoid the need to recalculate as users change, and the protocols included cover most of the needs of small sites. This packaging reduces the “tunnel effect” (i.e. a cost that increases progressively over the course of the project, as web users are added that were not anticipated) and stabilises the budget. It also facilitates decision-making, because the project can be framed at an early stage, without depending on endless discussions about the scope of licences.

Easy maintenance and deployment

By relying on the Panorama ecosystem, Essentials Web Unlimited enables you to capitalise on skills you’ve already acquired: deployment methods, best practice and operating logic. The included development workshop supports this continuity: you can develop the application as you need it (improve a mimic diagram, add a view, adjust alarms) without calling the economic model into question. For project teams, this reduces the friction between commissioning and ongoing improvements. For the customer, it means a smoother lifecycle: an application that lives and adapts, without administrative complexity.

Extended SCADA usage

One of the major benefits of unlimited Web access is that it democratises SCADA application. The information is not confined to an operating station: it can be consulted by maintenance, on-call staff, service providers, or even by management and directors. This distribution transforms SCADA into a steering tool: visualise a situation, objectify a deviation, arbitrate an action, share an observation. This approach is particularly suitable when the main use is occasional consultation, even though permanent display on a dedicated workstation is entirely possible.
