About

iRITOP

Features

Read full description

iRITOP is a useful application for water supply, waste water or hydro power plants that are using RITOP for the process control. The on-call staff get a quick overview with their critical alarms and characteristic numbers of the plant objects. This information is related to the plant objects, which are shown at their correct geographical position. The trend from characteristic numbers will be graphically displayed. This helps the technicians to quickly decide, if the current situation needs an interaction on-site. iRITOP connects to the RITOP Server over the internet. The access occurs either via WLAN oder mobile network (3G). Attention: A RITOP process control system is needed in order to use iRITOP.
