Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, has acquired LimeWare, a provider of system analysis and auditing software for Schneider Electric’s Foxboro Evo process automation and I/A Series distributed control systems.
The acquisition provides foxray software to help customers pinpoint and address critical industry challenges, the company said.
The solution offers additional capability for configuration management, alarm management, operator action analysis and overall documentation.
It includes:
- Change tracking with a complete change management workflow process
- Graphics visualization of the control block loops
- Integrity checks to solve all DCS configuration issues
- Scheduled reports
- Alarms and operator action management and tracking
- I/O and FBM spare reserve and tracking
- An advance query engine that can quickly fetch any DCS information.
“Acquiring LimeWare and its foxray software will help improve operational integrity and operational insight, while future-proofing their operations,” said Gary Freburger, president of Schneider Electric’s process automation business.
“The ability to more easily tackle pain points, while driving value across the entire process automation chain, is one of the big ideas we are discussing with our customers in Dallas at our Global Automation Conference this week," he added.
LimeWare and its offerings will be fully integrated into Schneider Electric’s process automation business and will continue to be managed by its existing executive team.
