SAN DIEGO, Calif. – September 21, 2011 – Two leading providers of real-time software solutions, Power Analytics Corporation (www.PowerAnalytics.com) and Automsoft (www.automsoft.com), today announced that they are entering into a comprehensive technology, marketing, and sales agreement surrounding, respectively, Power Analytics’ Paladin® and Automsoft’s rapidHistorian™ software platforms.
Power Analytics’ Paladin family of products helps organizations to ensure that their electrical power infrastructure is optimally designed (Paladin® DesignBase™), performs precisely as intended in terms of reliability and energy efficiency (Paladin® Live™), and operates flawlessly as organizations make real-time transitions between public and on-premise power sources (Paladin® SmartGrid™).
Automsoft’s rapidHistorian™ system is a robust suite of powerful data historian, information management and analysis applications designed to collect, analyze and serve large volumes of time series and process data. rapidHistorian™ delivers market leading data processing capabilities through its high speed distributed object database. It delivers performance far beyond other technologies, enabling the integration of millions of data points and data sampling rates in the region of millions of events per second, all on standard hardware delivering the lowest total cost of ownership. It empowers businesses to achieve sustained process improvement and collaborative decision-making, enabling them to achieve a closer alignment of actual output and strategic goals and meet Key Performance Indicators.
As part of the agreement, Automsoft will license Power Analytics’ Paladin® Gateway™ data integration technology to expand the connectivity options for rapidHistorian, with a particular emphasis on the popular Modbus serial communications protocol. Similarly, Power Analytics will use Paladin Gateway to interface Automsoft’s process database technology with Paladin Live to enable collection, storage and analytics of time series sensor, control system and device data in a smart grid environment.
As a result, the two companies will deliver advanced Smart Grid / microgrid solutions to customers in the mission-critical arena: organizations who are seeking the cost savings and energy independence on-campus grid can offer, without their jeopardizing power systems reliability.
“The integration of the Paladin and rapidHistorian platforms is an important milestone for facilities with demanding power reliability requirements and ambitious energy efficiency goals,” said Mark A. Ascolese, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Power Analytics Corporation. “Together, these two platforms give users extraordinary, real-time insight into the health of their power infrastructure, and visibility into operational problems that have yet to emerge.”
“We are delighted to work with Power Analytics as a strategic Smart Grid partner” said Paraic O’Toole, Chief Executive Officer for Automsoft. “We have a number of joint projects in the pipeline of which this is the first and we look forward to working together to deliver optimized smart and micro grid installations to our customers globally.”
