GE Digital unveiled enhancements to its CIMPLICITY and Tracker software to help operators make smarter, faster decisions and better manage operations across plants.  CIMPLICITY 11, part of GE Digital’s Proficy HMI/SCADA suite, helps to decrease operator response time and errors to keep critical control systems up and running.  Tracker 11, part of GE Digital’s Proficy Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) offering, helps to increase throughput, manage production routing and tracking, and improve inventory and product order fulfillment.

CIMPLICITY 11 - Faster Configuration and Deployment

New Rapid Application Development (RAD) capabilities help to reduce build time with mimic-building tools, libraries, and auto-discovery and creation of the SCADA model + database for OPC UA sources.  With CIMPLICITY 11, users can employ object-oriented design for easier repeatability and faster time-to-value through modeled context, as well as classes and objects for building a structured database more quickly, features that are important in industrial settings.  Modeling capabilities in CIMPLICITY allow users to create templated applications for repeatable assets, which can be leveraged in both the existing clients as well as HTML5 Web clients.

Tracker 11 - Simplifying Complex Production in High-Volume, High-Value Manufacturing

Tracker 11 tracks the real-time location of jobs on the production floor and performs routing logic on the movement of jobs throughout the facility.  This capability allows manufacturers to better manage the manufacturing, routing and delivery of multiple product components into complex product assemblies.  In addition, Tracker 11 helps to minimize warranty and recall exposure by tracking supplier parts and providing a genealogy for the finished product.

CIMPLICITY 11 and Tracker 11 are now generally available from GE Digital and its network of approved partners.

Craig Resnick, ARC Advisory Group, commented, “In addition to enhanced visualization, adherence to open standards, and scalable mobile platform functionality, today’s HMI/SCADA software users require tools that enable rapid application deployment and deployment, including auto-discover capabilities. GE Digital’s new CIMPLICITY 11 solution meets these user requirements, along with the ability to leverage IIoT technology to provide a standards-based open ecosystem for interoperability. In addition, the new Tracker 11 supports production tracking, routing and order management.”
