Why CRUiSE Makes Sense.

1. Makes processes more reliable and efficient. With CRUiSE, management and operators find troubling trends before they become emergencies; or before they consume excessive energy and chemicals. This makes them more reliable. In addition, CRUiSE has a unique feature called “rate-of-change” detection to further spot trouble from either rapid changes in value that can indicate a spill or leak or extremely slow or no change in value indicating sensor failure.

2. Extremely easy and economical to set-up. No special software, computer hardware, IT support, or maintenance is required. Computers, laptops, tablets, or smart phones need only a web browser to connect.

3. Best in Industry Interactive Custom Screens. UIS custom builds screens to customer’s requirements. Screens refresh data as quickly as the telemetry will deliver it.

4. Very Powerful Trending Tools. Any data are drawn to a graphic display automatically begins logging process data to the historical database. By double-clicking of any process variable icon, CRUiSE displays a continuous view of both historical and real-time data for as much as the entire lifespan of your application. (5 Years is standard). Easily share data by exporting data to multiple database formats. Use History Statistics Tag to compare one week’s average flow to another to find trends. Built for speed, it can log data at up to 4,000 values a second and sync across a WAN at up to 160,000 values a second. One can optionally simultaneously, log across a network to an Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, or SQLite databases.

5. Flexible Alarm Management. The system sends alarms via e-mail, text messaging, pager, and high-quality text-to-voice phone calls. With any cell phone, an operator can acknowledge alarms, check equipment status, change set-points, and send commands. The system can be configured to re-arm after a defined period once they have been acknowledged.

6. Comprehensive Report Capability. CRUiSE includes two reporting components; a page for generating ad-hoc reports and a report tag that can be scheduled to trigger pre-defined reports. Report tags are time zone aware and can run daily, weekly, monthly, manually, or on the event. Reports can output to your screen, a file, an Excel® spreadsheet, a template, a database, or as an e-mail attachment.

7. Simple site management. Interact with your remote monitoring sites in the same way you use on-line mapping tools. Pan and zoom across all your sites with a simple click, toss, or scroll. Each site is represented by a pin that changes color based on its polling status. Click a pin to open the associated site.

8. One System – Multiple Realms. CRUiSE provides when necessary different Realms for different users or user groups thus giving the administrator the ability to control who monitors/controls what.

9. Scan & Store Digital Manuals. As an option, each Graphical screen has an icon that opens a place to store digital manuals that belong to that site. UIS can scan and store the manual for you. This ensures the manuals are backed up and secure.

10. Operator Logbook. CRUiSE comes with an operator Logbook to keep written records of required user activities. Notes entered by users are automatically time-stamped and labeled with the operator’s name. Operator notes act as a bulletin board, providing a way for users across the organization and across work shifts to communicate and record activities.

11. Proven Software. The backbone of CRUiSE is software from a company that has been developing HMI software for over 25 years.

12. No more upgrade cost. Since CRUiSE is a subscription service it always uses the latest software and hardware and costs less than traditional systems. No software and hardware upgrade costs, no servers to maintain, and no strain on the IT department.
