Since our first SCADA installation in 1992, we have configured and installed many SCADA solutions around the world, either directly for end customers, but most of the time as a preferred subcontractor for large-scale industrial partners.

From huge NEW project to complete RETROFIT projet or just small MAINTENANCE operations We can answer to any size of project, from the smallest maintenance operation lasting a few days to the largest project that can last several months. Submit us your specifications, your requirements and we will answer you as fast as possible with a technical and commercial proposal. Which SCADA Solution ? The choice of a SCADA system is most often made by the end customer himself who may already have his own monitoring solution on site or have a preference for one SCADA over another. But if this is not the case, we can suggest the most suitable SCADA solution according to technical requirements and budget. Here is the list of SCADA systems that we are currently working on and that we mainly propose : CB3i Scada Solutions

Although SCADA systems offer a large number of effective standard features, they do not always easily meet the technical requirements of complex projects. That is why SCADA systems integrate scripting languages to execute these specific treatments, such as complex computation, specific reporting, database access, data export, data analysis, file managment, forms designing and control, ... Thanks to our long experience with programming languages, because we are more developers than automaticians, we can bring real ADDED VALUE to your SCADA project to execute even the most complex tasks. Used scripting languages inside SCADA systems: Web solutions for reporting, database consultation, ... SCADA systems on the market offer some reporting functionalities, web management capabilities, database lookup tools, but most of the time, these tools must be purchased (additional license cost), are heavy to install, to program, to manage and to maintain. Buying these additional tools from SCADA editors can be considered on larger projects, where their use seems to make sense. But, for small and medium projects, we often propose lighter solutions based on standard Web technologies :

- INSIDE SCADA : extended Reporting and database consultation : most of the SCADA systems integrate a Web Browser component that can be placed inside any synoptic. HTML/CSS code is then generated by scripts or by external programming and injected inside the Web browser component. By this way, we can create reports with complex design and content, directly connected to SCADA tags or to databases records. Reports are also defined with Responsive Web Design techniques so that we can display and print them efficiently. As a result, users of the SCADA system will feel that they are using a single application, not a external third-party tool.
- REMOTE DISPLAY : Reporting, database consultation from remote computers connected to network or WEB : When some customer managers are interested to see remotely what is happening on their installation, they may require some important and specific data acquired by the SCADA system, but not displayed in the SCADA itself. In that case, we install a web server on the SCADA computer (or on an other computer connected to the SCADA Database), and program specific web pages depending of customer's specific demands ! There is nothing to install on remote computers : you need only a standard web navigator ! All of this for FREE !

For this purpose, CB3i uses following web technologies and data-exchange formats : Programming and administration of the following database engines : Programming external tools and applications in the environment of the SCADA system These programming skills allow also to build external specific tools and applications, not integrated directly inside the SCADA system, but that can help to : - automatize the configuration of the SCADA system,
- analyse data externally,
- communicate with the SCADA for specific treatments.

We attach great importance to the design of synoptics we propose to our customers, for aesthetics, efficiency, readability and ergonomics. To this end, we have internal graphics skills that enable us to propose the most suitable design. Some examples : Buttons panel for a Diesel engines power plant : each engine circuit has its own understandable icon (designation in french) Enhanced graphic on a synoptic for a Diesel engines Power Plant Autocad DWG files But we can also work directly from the graphic files that our customer would like to implement. Typically, for huge project with many synoptics, Autocad DWG files are often defined by the customer previously and proposed in the book of specifications. In that case, we work directly with the DWG files, we practise some colors and dimensions changes and we implement it in the SCADA views. The obvious goal is to reduce drastically the designing time, so the designing cost, since the need has already been clearly identified and validated by the customer. One example : Gypsum and plasterboard plant: all background views are designed from DWG files supplied by the plant manufacturer. Sober design : In this previous example, one can see that synoptic has a sober design with quasi monochrome background. The aim is for important information to be quickly identifiable when it occurs with flashing colors (red, orange, ...). The use of a light gray backgrounds is also more relaxing for operators who may spend many hours behind the screen.
