Ganter Lab and Elipse

What Ganter Lab is

• It runs on your own machineA desktop application you install on the station. Devices, dashboards, history and users live there, and your process data never has to leave the building.
• Devices are set up in formsNative drivers for Modbus, OPC UA, S7, Rockwell, BACnet and more. Address a tag, scale it into engineering units, and an embedded OPC UA server publishes the result to whoever needs it.
• Dashboards, logic and records in one appScreens are assembled by dragging. Variables, actions, triggers and alarms are written in plain JavaScript. Every run records itself, and becomes an export or a report carrying your logo.
• One license per station, nothing lockedEvery feature works without a license: the runtime pauses on a timer until you restart it. A station license removes that limit. No tiers, no modules to add.

What Elipse is

Only what is public and slow to change is written here: what the product is for, how it is licensed and where it runs. Features and prices move on their own, so confirm the current ones with its vendor.

• Elipse Software is a Brazilian vendor whose supervisory products are aimed at plant wide industrial systems and at electric utilities, with a product line of its own for the power sector.
• Its supervision products are licensed per installation and sized by how large the application is, and the catalogue is split into separate products for different jobs, remote access included.
• It is installed on Windows on the plant network, and the plant wide products run as a supervision server with operator viewers around it rather than as one program on one machine.

Where Elipse is the better choice

• The installation is a whole plant or a utilityMany operator stations, one supervision server behind them and redundancy for a site that cannot stop are what that architecture was designed around.
• You are in the electric sectorThe vendor keeps a product line aimed at power utilities, with the models that sector works in. A general purpose tool does not replace it.
• You want the vendor next doorSupport, training and a network of integrators working in Brazilian Portuguese, with a large installed base to hire experience from, is a real advantage and not a detail.
• The plant already runs on itScreens, drivers and operator habits already built there carry a value no comparison page can price.

Where Ganter Lab is the better choice

• The scope is one stationA bench, a machine, a laboratory or a line that one computer can watch needs no server layer standing up first, and no installation sized before it is bought.
• Nobody has to become a supervision developerDevices and screens are configured in the interface and the scripting is plain JavaScript, so the engineer who knows the process is the one who sets it up.
• The work is per unit: tests or productionUnit models, recipes, pass or fail verdicts, per run records and reports come with the product instead of being built over a blank screen.
