OAS UIEngine for no code HMI development and hosting

OAS is so much more than just a SCADA solution. It is an entire suite of packages.

We use it for Data Historian. It offers connections to every kind of database and even CSV files if you need that. You can build your query statements with OAS tags and dynamically populate them with information read from PLC's. With the Recipes feature you can read information from a database and write it to the PLC. You can easily build SCADA screens with the OAS Open UI Engines No-code UI Builder. Features are simple drag and drop to build displays. If you need more complex features, you can integrate with .NET and REST API's. It also offers notifications via text messages and Email. Voice messaging is available thru a Twillio account.

Lead Engineer

Awesome response to issues or questions from the support team.

I've worked in the industry for over 30 years and being able to discuss issues/feature request with the development team is unheard of. OAS is my go to SCADA software. OAS allows my company to create custom SCADA applications for the Water/Waste Water Industries. OAS allows us to create amazing graphics using VB.NET and Blend that are the best in the industry. Reporting is very easy to implement which most SCADA packages struggle to provide. OAS device drivers all work flawlessly so additional 3rd party drivers are not required.

System Integrator

Their customer support was the best I have experienced across all software applications.

Technical support was readily available, incredibly knowledgeable, polite and followed up to make sure everything was working properly. I had a couple of calls, and interacted with different support techs. Each was fantastic but more importantly the handoff between them was seamless. Resolution was fast and the tech's provided training so I learned while getting help. FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SUPPORT! The suite is extremely comprehensive. It provides easy preconfigured access to all standard automation systems as well as great IOT support. Our application required Modbus, Bacnet, MQTT, and standard HTTP and API access. OAS did them all, right out of the box. There are a number of wizards that make set up and use of the software fast and simple. It was by far the easiest to get up and running productively.

David M.

CEO

Their support has been un-matched by any other manufacture that I have worked with.

We have used Open Automation software solutions for a variety of projects from SCADA to HMI with custom gauges to data logging with custom report generation. They have always responded very quickly to questions. You don’t get that from any other software provider. The product offering is solid and very scalable. You can start out inexpensively with just collecting your data and archiving it in an open data base format. Add additional features as you deem necessary. Their tag pricing is flexible and reasonable in cost. You can connect unlimited clients to the server, no additional charge to access your data. They have a good set of fast device drivers for the major PLCs, along with connection to OPC and OPC UA data servers. There is an alarm notification feature for texting, emailing, and voice messaging.

Highly recommended!

We are offering services of automation to our clients. This is the software we use for our clients and it meets exactly to their requirements. We implement it in three different sites of the pharmaceutical industry and it works excellent to tranfer data and develop communication in between the machines.

Naveed K.

Maintenance Engineer

Support is the absolute best.

Pros: Open architecture and maximum flexibility for customization. Support is the absolute best. Flexible deployment solutions. Cons: I don't really have any cons. The product works exactly how I need it to. Overall, I absolutely love OAS. It is an instrumental tool for me to be able to provide custom solutions for my customers. I would also say that one driving factor behind the success of my Open Automation Software implementations would be their unparalleled support. If we need anything to solve a customer's need, they are eager and willing to enhance the software to make it happen.
