Information Systems

Knowledge is power.
— Francis Bacon

In modern manufacturing and processing plants, reams of raw data are virtually useless in the decision-making process unless properly collected, correlated and presented. That's what Mission Controls' Information Systems division does. They make plant information useful.

For you, our Information Systems staff can:

• develop methods to capture your data from a full range of OPC servers, drivers and protocols,
• design and develop relational database systems including SQL Server^® and Oracle^®,
• create custom applications to meet specific enterprise requirements utilizing a multitude of software packages including Microsoft^® .NET^®, Visual Basic^®, C++, ASP.NET^®, and Java^®,
• utilize and interface with industrial plant floor software packages from companies such as Rockwell^®, Wonderware^®, Intellution^® and Datasweep^®,
• integrate plant data with enterprise applications and other legacy systems your plant may employ.

Web-based Information and Support Where and When you Need It

We are experts at providing password-authorized web-based reporting and analysis capabilities.
