The central theme of the CCT approach to mission critical automation is to integrate and process real-time data from all available sources to glean the information you need to monitor and control your critical operations. For CCT customers, the focal point for this activity is typically a control center in which decision makers are presented a common operating picture and initiate control actions in real-time. CCT's command and control product line enables you to create the control systems necessary for these centers by isolating your control applications from the underlying data acquisition, processing, and control execution infrastructure. The toolkit allows you to focus your time on your application and operations rather than the enabling data systems.
Control centers are usually created as a central point for collecting, processing, storing, displaying, and reacting to data generated from real-time operations. The Command and Control Toolkit (CCTK) is a general purpose data acquisition, command and control software package that provides these common control system functions in a ready-to-apply program. The toolkit includes tools for tailoring and extending the common functions to individual control system applications, providing a solution for building custom control systems in a fraction of the traditional cost and time.
