The efficient way of monitoring and controlling your Geo SCADA system remotely. Geo SCADA Mobile, coupled to Geo SCADA, a Schneider Electric product, provides remote access to data within your SCADA system, allowing users to monitor performance while "on the move". It also improves staff productivity and enhances overall system performance: an easy way to add value to your organisation! Fully compatible with ClearSCADA – Use GeoSCADA Server to take advantage of new features. Alarms and Events * Alarm actions such as acknowledge, disable and enable. Actions logged to the Geo SCADA event journal. * View alarm and event lists. Mobile "Displays" * Mimics are available when connected to Geo SCADA Expert 2025 or later. * Summary data displays for "at a glance" understanding of system performance. * Available as a shortcut from alarms or database hierarchy, where configured. Database * Browse and Search the Geo SCADA database. * View object status at any level. * Display filtered alarm and event lists based on database hierarchy. Data Visualization * Display historic data trends for points; optimized for mobile connectivity. * Display custom database queries; useful for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Controls * Perform controls on selected points in the Geo SCADA database. * Actions logged to the Geo SCADA event journal. User Favorites * Customize the app for easy retrieval of your commonly used views. Security * Integrated security with Geo SCADA. * Additional security measures for communications outside of the SCADA firewall. Location * Use your device location to allow Alarm redirection based on your position (Requires ClearSCADA 2017 R1) Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Search Database * Search the database's object by object name. From the resultset, navigate back into the database to view events, alarms, status information and select Mobile Methods. Mobile Methods * Configure object methods on the server, to be selectable on the mobile app and/or ViewX client Contact your local Schneider Electric sales channel to provide this functionality for your Geo SCADA system(s). NOTE: For security reasons, this application does not communicate directly with the Geo SCADA server, so additional software is required to enable this. The additional software can be found on the Geo SCADA server installation media.

Mobile Access allows you to securely view information and interact with your HMI and SCADA applications. The Mobile Access app connects to a Mobile Access server hosted by your HMI and SCADA applications. Using your HMI and SCADA application development platform, developers can develop screens, useful widgets, and animations that can be deployed to mobile devices. Benefits to using the Mobile Access app include: Efficiency: Being able to securely access a machine remotely or view dashboards across a plant floor gives machine operators and process managers a chance to make adjustments even when they're not able to be physically at the machine. This may include stopping a machine when certain values are not met, or knowing at a glance whether or not an entire plant is operating at the expected levels. A mobile SCADA solution is particularly valuable to anyone with remote facilities in hard-to-access places. Preventive care: A mobile solution can not only make things more efficient, it can also help guard against disaster. If machine operators and managers are notified of problems immediately wherever they are, it's possible to take action before product is wasted, or the machine is damaged. Regular alerts can also let users know when it is time to perform preventive maintenance on machines such as lubrication or filter replacement. Acknowledge alarms and maintain traceability: You can monitor the active alarms and acknowledge them from the mobile device. Some regulations, such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, require that alarms be acknowledged and traced to the user who acknowledged them. The Mobile Access app requires that the Mobile Access server be version 8.1 SP2 or later. If you are using an earlier version, then please contact your software provider for instructions on how to install a patch to your Mobile Access server so that it can support the Mobile Access app. Works as Mobile Access client for AVEVA Edge and Edge based products. Not for use with other AVEVA products at this time.
