Groundbreaking Design Enables Easy, User-Centric Configuration in Minutes CHICAGO(Business Wire)Activelogix LLC, a leading provider of Internet-based enterprise automationsolutions, launched Periscope(tm), a dynamic web-enabled application suite forflexible visualization and analysis of the complex data generated by facilityautomation and business systems at the recent AHR Expo. Periscope, built on the Niagara Framework, is a user-configurable, web-baseddashboard application for NiagaraAX stations that provides rapid identificationof real-time and historical trends in key attributes of multi-facilityoperation, including energy use, operational efficiencies and critical metrics.Created using rich internet application (RIA) tools, Periscope is the firstapplication of its kind to meet the diverse and changing needs of all end users,from "the boiler room to the board room." Unlike conventional business dashboards, Periscope employs a library of specialpurpose "viewlet" agents which can be configured "on-the-fly." Periscope isunique in its ability to process and integrate a wide array of data feeds fromboth the control network and the business network as well as other sources. Theability for each user to insert, configure, and modify specific viewlets tocustomize their individual dashboard allows for the facility data to bepresented in formats that can be utilized by the widest possible audience. Agrowing library of viewlets is available for additional views, analyses andspecial purpose applications. "This capability is something end users have been requesting for a long time,"remarked Greg Barnes, VP of Business Development for Activelogix. We believe users should be incontrol of their views into their facility system without requiring expensiveand time consuming customization." Periscope is a disruptive technology thatoffers an extremely flexible tool for each and every user to craft their viewsas needed for the priorities of the moment.

Periscope utilizes the proven NiagaraAX security model and includes a "Discovery& Mapping Wizard" to access control network data from Niagara, MODBUS, BACNet orhybrid configurations. This feature enables Periscope to easily be overlaid onexisting building networks without modification to the underlying control logicor database. Jack Berryhill, President of Activelogix, commented "We believe Periscope willfurther enhance the ability of our Solution Partners to offer the most costeffective solution to protect an owner's prior automation investments, reduceinstallation time on projects and improve ROI, particularly in enterprise classinstallations." Periscope is being launched at the AHR Expo, held in conjunction with the WinterASHRAE Conference and is available for review in the Vykon Booth 3418.Periscope will be marketed through a network of distributors throughout the US.For additional information contact the Periscope team .
