Switch2Citect has allowed end users and Citect integration partners to convert over 1000 screens from other Scada vendors to CitectScada.
Citect's Switch2Citect solution has allowed end users and Citect integration partners (CIPs) to convert over 1000 screens from other Scada vendors to CitectScada.
Launched in 2005, Switch2Citect has helped many companies throughout the world easily upgrade to CitectScada from one or multiple legacy systems.
Switch2Citect automates approximately 75% of manual tasks, making upgrading to CitectScada from outdated Scada systems easier and more economical.
In one example Sun Peaks Resort the largest ski resort in the interior of British Columbia, Canada.
Citect Partner, Guillevin Automation, converted screens from a legacy system in both the Sun Peaks' resort and the village to CitectScada.
According to Jeff Havisto, Project Engineer for Guillevin Automation: "Switch2Citect is a very economical and easy solution for automating the conversion of legacy systems with minimal time and effort required".
"We chose CitectScada because it offers the best overall solution and lowest cost of ownership, and Switch2Citect made it possible to preserve our existing graphics and database", explains Ian Tabor, IT Manager, Sun Peaks Resort Corporation.
In addition to providing an automated way to upgrade to CitectScada from Intellution Fix32 and iFix, many customers have also used Switch2Citect importers to convert and improve their existing systems from InTouch and FactoryLink.
"Since we launched Switch2Citect, customers from all across the world, in all industry segments, have been asking us for additional importers to help them upgrade from their legacy control system", says Stephen Flannigan, Scada Global Director, Citect.
"In response Citect has accelerated the development of new importers, with RSView and Monitor Pro to be released later this month, and we have started work on WinCC, Wizcon, Genesis32 and Vijeo Look importers".
"For over 15 years, Citect has provided its users an easy and secure upgrade path", says Flannigan.
"Too many businesses are stuck with legacy systems with no clear upgrade paths".
"Switch2Citect is making it very easy for them to upgrade to a solid Scada system".
"In addition, these new users instantly benefit from CitectScada's robust features such as built-in redundancy, web clients and the Process Analyst, which combines alarms and trends on a single screen".
