RIMS was developed by Interface & Control Systems to address the needs of remotely monitoring satellite data feeds and archiving content to provide historical trend data and performance analysis services.  The highly automated nature of the underlying SCL expert system allows real-time data analysis and alarm processing while the RIMS Java-based GUI provides color coded alarms and graphical trends to web-based clients.  The RIMS system allows insight into a real-time data stream in a non-interfering manner with existing operations.  The RIMS toolset includes the SCL real-time Expert System which can be used to automate monitor and control operations, provide insight into trends in the data and alert operators to potential problems.  The SCL system is designed to provide incremental upgrades to the monitor and control capabilities without having to reload code.

The RIMS system is built upon commercial web server and Internet technologies…allowing remote access via common web browsers.  The system is designed to use commercial off the shelf PCs to archive and monitor real-time data feeds.  The System supports up to 15 remote users per server.

RIMS is built upon our portable, embeddable SCL architecture which has been proven in control centers for DoD and NASA.  The SCL architecture provides a clear separation of decision-making logic from procedural logic. Intelligent, real-time alerts can be generated based on any event whether directly received from sensor data or derived from algorithms.  With 24/7 reliability, full scalability, and plug-in capabilities for new, extended, or legacy technologies, RIMS supports the real-time remote monitoring and alert capabilities that are essential in modern intelligent solutions.

Inherent to the design is an ability to service popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher.  This capability combined with commercial encryption standards allows secure monitor and control from virtually anywhere in the world.  

Users are authenticated through a secure logon, and and client data security is assured through the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transmissions.  Additionally, the system allows remote debugging using the SCL Viewer, optionally, a user can command a system from a remote web session as well.  All administration of the system can be accomplished remotely.

Some of the salient features of RIMS with screen dumps:

• Web-based user profiles
• Mnemonic level alarms
• Remote Administration
• Remote Configuration
• Remote RIMS systems monitoring
• Up to 60 Data Points per page
• Commands and Monitoring
• Remote Debugger and command execution (optional)

The RIMS system is built upon commercially available web servers and relies on industry standards to provide a cost-effective and powerful solution.

ICS sees several areas where our expertise will provide a significant value-added capability to the your program. Our strength is in teaming with larger prime contractors such as Lockheed Martin Commercial Systems to add value to existing offerings, becoming a core technology for system revisions, or providing systems engineering and technology assistance in the design, development and deployment of new systems.
