Augsburg / Frankfurt a. M., 02.06.2014 – meteocontrol GmbH, a leading vendor of professional remote monitoring for photovoltaic systems, has entered into an alliance with viasys, a global provider of security solutions, services and technology. The aim of the strategic alliance is to integrate the video portal from viasys into the Virtual Control Room (VCOM) monitoring system. This solution is being shown for the first time at Intersolar 2014 in Munich, Germany.
The alliance between the two companies will provide operators and owners of photovoltaic plants with a consistent and uniform solution for remote and video monitoring of their PV operations. meteocontrol is integrating the video alarm system from viasys Intelligent Video GmbH into the VCOM Virtual Control Room monitoring system for large-scale PV installations and power plants. Whenever system operators or technical managers log into the meteocontrol VCOM portal, they automatically have access to the viasys portal as well. A ticket system coordinates, documents and reports the alarms from VCOM as well as those from the viasys portal. “In viasys we have found the perfect partner to further optimize our monitoring system,” says Martin Schneider, Managing Director of meteocontrol, “because linking both systems through a single sign-on will significantly boost efficiency for our customers. After single sign-on, they have an immediate overview of both technical and security-related messages.”
Both companies are presenting the new solution at Intersolar in Munich from June 4 to 6, 2014:
