#SoftwareRevolution: Updated software improves integration support for online process optimisation & yield accounting accuracy

Invensys has released a new version of its Off-sites Software Suite. The updated software features new web client capabilities for the Analyser Management and Data Acquisition system module and increased performance and support for a wider range of web browsers for the Tank Information system, Order and Movement Management module and Material Balance Module web clients. The new release also provides enhanced support and design documentation for integration with the company’s SimSci Yield Accounting Solutions. It can automatically transfer inventory data to help ensure accurate accounting of material transactions in the plant. Integration with the company’s SimSci ROMeo 6.1 online process optimization software provides accurate crude composition data as real-time input from off-sites crude feedstock inventory and blending operations.

Updated Off-Sites software from Invensys improves integration with SimSci optimization for more accurate crude composition data.
