WEBSERV WEB in practice (another concept for supervision)
MUTUALIZE : using remote terminal units and TOPKAPI Webserv, a specialized service provider (an ISP c– Internet Solution Provider) will implement your supervision application, and host it.
You will receive fault alarms (TOPKAPI standby service).
You will monitor and control your facility remotely.
analyze graphs and histories to check for proper operation using a basic Internet explorer.
Hence, you will distribute the application’s cost (PC, TOPKAPI license) and human resources (skills) among several users. Supervision of remotely managed, equipment hence becomes economically accessible to applications of all sizes. Information processing will be entrusted to a specialist, as when you have your holiday photos printed.

The remote management + TOPKAPI + Webserv package, is perfectly suited to multiple applications, such as remote maintenance of power generators, compressors, CAMM, flood monitoring and alarm, distributed energy production (micro hydroelectric plants, wind generators, etc.…), and many other fields we cannot even imagine now.
In addition to mutualizing applications, the system also enables sharing information easily and economically (filtered according to requirements) among the various consumers of this information, both inside and outside the company.
As a large number of Webserv applications are now operating, a survey enabled us to collect the first feedback.
We remind that TOPKAPI’s Web server enables interrogating the supervision application, as well as reports and summaries using a standard browser, and also running commands when required. It comprises on the one hand a toolbox enabling full opening in respect of supervision (for developers wishing to implement specific applications), and on the other hand a component installing a Web site based on TOPKAPI’s image (for installers/users who do not wish to become webmasters).
First, for most of the applications listed, it is the Web site generated by Webserv which is used, without any other customization than displaying a specific logo. The prime objective is to reproduce supervision in the Explorer for the stations connected ; customization, when envisaged, will be implemented at a later stage.
ELYO, who launched the ELYO Direct (www.elyo.fr) concept, relies on transparency, and enable their customers to monitor the facilities concerning them: boiler room view and equipment status, room temperature, boiler room incoming and outgoing temperature graphs, fault history. In addition to the prompt installation of the standard site, the main benefit shown here is that after installation, no intervention is required on the Web site except for administering access rights: when supervision changes, the Web site follows automatically.
Same situation at the greater Lille authority (CUDL), where Webserv provides agents with access to the supervision Intranet: after the initial installation, the Webserv is in the background, and only supervision requires management. One short day was required for the initial installation, including system and summary access customizing aspects.
We could not cite here all the applications implemented, but they globally confirm the conclusions: the objective sought, i.e. simplicity and low implementing costs, was achieved. A few detail perfections are on the verge of being implemented.

You
wish to supervise your remote equipment, trace its operation, but without
investing in a supervision system, or you lack the appropriate internal
resources ? For example, you are a small or average local authority managing
educational, sports, cultural facilities, etc., a water treatment station ?
