Plant Focus Web Server  

     Plant Focus is an internal web-based application.  We utilize the accessibility of web browsing and HTTP protocol to allow our clients to access their Plant Focus homepage wherever they are at the plant, with a simple web browser.  We utilize the client-server model to allow for ease of use, easy upgradability, and easy maintenance.  Our main site will live on an internal web server in most cases.  This server can be configured to only allow connections on your private network, or allow connectivity anywhere on the web, and outside of your own private network.

Plant Focus Database

     Along with the web server, we utilize various versions of Microsoft SQL Server.  Ideally, this will be on an independent virtual server separate from the web server for simplicity and compartmentalization.  Regular backups are scheduled to preserve the integrity of your valuable data in the case of a disaster.  Keeping this server separate allows some "breathing room" for the web server to handle the powerful operations of Plant Focus. 

Plant Focus Helper-Executables

     We have some other executables that handle the complex and independent realtime calculations that are required.  These are packaged into separate "Modules" that are available for Plant Focus.  These helper Exes are managed by our complimentary "Watcher" service that checks on the status of various Plant Focus modules.

How it all comes together.
