What is iFIX?
iFIX is a modern SCADA solution from GE Vernova, proven across more than 100,000 installations worldwide. This reliable, flexible, and operator-centric system supports annual updates to ensure your infrastructure remains secure and technologically current.
Four common industry problems where iFIX SCADA makes a difference
Poor Visibility
The Problem Obsolete or cluttered HMI/SCADA systems often lack visual clarity, delaying operator response to deviations. This heightens the risk of operational disruptions, quality failures, and safety incidents.
The iFIX Solution iFIX provides modern interfaces designed to enhance situational awareness. By enabling operators to identify and resolve issues promptly, the system improves efficiency and minimises downtime.
Network/security issues
The Problem Legacy SCADA systems often possess significant vulnerabilities regarding cybersecurity, stability, and maintenance. These weaknesses frequently lead to unforeseen downtime and inflated emergency response costs.
The iFIX Solution iFIX utilises a modern, flexible architecture featuring integrated redundancy and role-based security. Transitioning to this robust platform mitigates the risk of unplanned outages and reduces the need for expensive emergency interventions.
Insufficient integration
The Problem Fragmented systems—including SCADA, MES, and ERP—often lack effective integration. These “data silos” result in operational inefficiencies, delayed decision-making, and compromised traceability across the production chain.
The iFIX Solution iFIX employs an open architecture with extensive integration capabilities, such as REST APIs, OPC, and SQL databases. By seamlessly connecting SCADA with MES and ERP platforms, iFIX unifies operational and business data to provide deeper insights and accelerate informed decision-making.
Difficulty at Scale
The Problem Scaling across multiple locations often complicates the standardisation of HMI/SCADA solutions and operational workflows. Many systems lack the inherent flexibility or architecture required to manage distributed, multi-site environments efficiently.
The iFIX Solution iFIX is architected for distributed operations and modular deployment, scaling seamlessly from single facilities to enterprise-wide environments. This flexible platform enables the standardisation of workflows and object reusability, allowing for the rapid deployment of solutions across multiple geographical sites.

HOW DOES IFIX SCADA WORK?
Everything you need for control, monitoring and alarm management
Rapid Operator Response Configure alarms to trigger immediate alerts for abnormal events. Choose from various notification methods, including on-screen graphics, SMS, or email. Comprehensive alarm histories are retained for detailed post-event analysis.
Integrated Data Logging & Reporting iFIX includes Proficy Historian Essentials, an integrated engine designed to store process data. This allows for the seamless generation of trends and reports directly within the graphical interface.
Advanced Trending Tools Utilise a robust trending tool to monitor real-time data and analyse historical patterns, ensuring full visibility of your operational performance.
Modern HMI
iFIX features a modern, responsive user interface designed for PCs, tablets, and mobile devices. Process graphics are visualised using High Performance HMI principles to ensure maximum operator clarity and efficiency.
Unified Development Environment
iFIX is a core component of GE Vernova’s Proficy portfolio and includes Configuration Hub. This web-based environment enables simultaneous, multi-user development on a single project.
With Configuration Hub, you can:
Ensure Compliance: Administer user rights in accordance with regulatory standards, including GMP and 21 CFR Part 11.
Centralise Management: Organise and configure iFIX nodes from a single location.
Streamline Communication: Efficiently set up and manage system communications.
Utilise Structured Data: Create tags and signals using a robust object- and class-based data model.
Manage Security & Alarms: Define alarm parameters and manage system-wide security protocols.
