Intravue™is extremely useful when:

Now Intravue 2.0
Intravue™ 2.0 is the next generation of software aimed specifically at the issues facing Ethernet deployment in Process or Manufacturing applications. Developed to assist individuals who are not network experts but do require a method to quickly identify the typical problems that can create loss of production data or even a process shutdown.

Now fully Web Based, Intravue™ can be installed in the process or manufacturing network to be viewed as well as managed remotely. From simple LANs to complex corporate multi-VLAN Cisco installations, Intravue™ now provides automatic and accurate real time viewing which will highlight the major sources of plant floor disruptions. Intravue™ 2 is the result of over 4 years of practical experience gained from the initial Intravue™ product released in 2003. With over 400 installations worldwide, our experience and customer input has allowed us to develop optimized methods that assist individuals who may have little network expertise. Intravue™ will not only highlight but generate alarms for the most common plant floor problems.

Empower local resources and reduce response times by 80%, resulting in significant reduction of data and process downtime!

Automatic Discovery, Automatic Mapping, and continuous Automatic Updating.
The ability of Intravue™ to automatically discover all of the devices on the network and then automatically map their connections is unique. The ability to then continuously change to provide the real time view as well as use color coding to highlight problem areas, makes Intravue™ clearly the product of choice for Industrial Ethernet applications. Unlike other tools which may have automatic discovery but then require manual mapping, or tools that provide a current view but with no trending capability, Intravue™ provides all the required components in a very easy to use package designed for the unique problems and resources of the Industrial environment.

Integrate Intravue™ with SCADA systems such as PcVue.
Intravue™ 2 has been re-engineered to be very light on CPU utilization. For most applications, Intravue™ will be under 10%, and thus can be easily integrated in a computer running other applications. Intravue™ does not require a Server class computer and can run on Microsoft applications from Windows 2000 to XP or 2003 Server. Browser can open a network display in less than 3 seconds, thus providing a quick access of a current network view that may consist of hundreds of devices.

Intravue™ 2.0 major improvements.
The major improvement in Intravue™ 2 is the ability to use the data being monitored in forms that can quickly highlight issues before they become problems. It provides the user with a method that will allow individuals responsible for the connected devices to have a simple method to identify network or communication problems. Organized with a single main animated graphic in which pop-up boxes provide additional details about a device, connection, or an event. This software has been developed for process and control engineers to assist them by monitoring all activities 24X7 and providing alarms and trends to visualize the Ethernet communications.

With the expansion of Ethernet technology to PLC’s and other devices many companies are struggling to maintain industrial Ethernet networks. With over 300 installations Worldwide, Intravue™ has been selected as the best solution by major end-users such as General Motors, Krones, Audi, St-Gobain Emballage … to overcome this new challenge.

Intravue™ gives local resources and maintenance personnel the ability to address basic problems and assist network experts if required. Intravue™ has been specifically developed for individuals responsible for the support of network equipment and the IP addressable devices connected to it.
