Control Centres

The Control Centres are the “brain” of the system. They are versatile and customizable according to the client’s needs. Duty of the Control Centres is the real-time acquisition of the data measured by the field stations through the sensors. hese data are channelled to control centres through existing networks and then processed by means of CAE designed software packages, integrated in the system itself. Result is a permanently updated information frame, for the direct use of the clients.

All Control Centres can be linked together to allow permanent real-time exchange of data, either among different networks or, within a single network, among different Centres operating in different territories or with different specific functions.

Flexible hardware configurations are available for Control Centres, studied by CAE according to Client’s needs and requirements.

Main Control Centre	Subsidiary Centres
Main Control Centres are designed to collect, process and organize the visualization of the data supplied by the field stations, allowing the operators to directly manage the network(s). These Centres are engineered with different complexity, according to the needs. They are usually composed by server(s) and personal computers of proved reliability, operating software applications especially designed by CAE. Main Control Centres may be connected to several subsidiary Centres, located in strategic areas to allow all concerned users to receive capillary information and duly perform requested actions.	The data collected by the Main Control Centre can be real-time diffused towards any point in the territory. This is dome through the subsidiary Control Centres, which are able to receive all communications sent by Main Centres and make them usable to all interested users.
