Situation Management
Data Collection
By intelligent filtering and combining alarms and
events, the operator is on top of each situation that
arises in the facility. Actions due to various events, can
both be executed automatically and manually by operator interaction. Since the operator has instant access to
all relevant information, decisions can be made swiftly.
WideQuick PSIM connects to a large number of different security systems and enables bi-directional
data communication.
Efficiency
WideQuick PSIM collects information from several different sources and presents it in one common user interface. This not only preserves the number of necessary
monitors, but also makes the work much easier for the
operators having only one common user interface regardless of the number of underlying security systems.
WideQuick PSIM increases the efficiency of the
operator´s work and also reduces the risk of operator
errors.
Filtering
Correlating the collected data, WideQuick PSIM can
use logic to determine which information is important
and relevant.
Presentation
One of the great benefits of a PSIM solution is to compile and present relevant information to the operator.
This is done in one common user interface which gives
an excellent overview of the situation.
The information can be presented in the control
room as well as on a local computer or through a web
browser.
Authorisation
The security system in WideQuick PSIM is based on privileges to ensure that selected parts of the system can
be used by authorised personnel only.
Procedures
In case of serious events, it is paramount that a certain
procedure is followed to handle the situation correctly.
Check lists of mandatory actions can be presented for
the operator, based on what kind of events that occur.
Actions
There is a wide range of interaction objects that can be
used in WideQuick PSIM as the operator interacts with
the system.

Areas of Applications for PSIM
City Surveillance
WideQuick PSIM is a superior security system and due to its built-in
scalability it is well suited for large projects such as city surveillance. A
common scenario in city surveillance is to combine WideQuick PSIM
and Ethiris VMS to create a truly intelligent system that can take full
advantage of the seamless integration between the two software.
Airports
WideQuick PSIM is installed at several airports around the world, for
example Dallas, Heathrow, Gatwick and Geneva. At Dallas airport WideQuick PSIM communicates with a docking system from Safegate. They
communicate via the standardised OPC interface and present real-time
information at the 160 gates.
Prisons
WideQuick PSIM is used as a superior security system for prisons. A
large number of disparate security systems such as access control,
video surveillance and fire alarm are connected to WideQuick PSIM
where all the information is collected and presented to the operator in
one common user interface.
Arenas
There is a considerable need for surveillance of the stands at matches,
concerts and other events. WideQuick PSIM and Ethiris VMS provide
an efficient way of controlling multiple PTZ cameras with a single operator click. Predefined scenarios such as stand scan, crowd entrance
and home position further increase operator efficiency.
Other Applications
WideQuick PSIM is commonly used for shopping centres. Other
examples are industries, infrastructure, building automation and
construction projects.
You can read more about these applications in the brochure
Kentima´s Success Stories.

WideQuick PSIM Features
PSIM software contains many useful features. In WideQuick PSIM most features are ready-touse, but the flexibility and the powerful tools make it extremely easy to create high-level functionality by combining various objects and functions.
Project Templates
Presentation Layers
A number of example projects are included
in the installation of WideQuick PSIM. These
projects contain great examples of what can
be achieved and how to do it. A well-thoughtthrough structure is applied to the examples
and they can easily be reused and adjusted as
desired, using
the powerful
graphical
features.
Due to the smart dynamic features of WideQuick PSIM, any object can be displayed/hidden based on its condition. This feature can be
used to provide presentation layers that can be
activated both automatically
and manually.
Alarms and Events
Statistics and Trends
The alarm and event module in WideQuick
PSIM is very sophisticated and was originally developed for the SCADA market.
In WideQuick PSIM any variable can be logged
cyclically or when a change in value occurs. There
are predefined objects for displaying both statistic
and trend graphs of all desired variables. Statistic
and trend graphs provide an excellent tool for making sound decisions. By combining these with alarm
logs and alarm frequency lists, it facilitates investigations and may very well constitute the difference of
failure and success in finding the culprits in an alarm
situation.
Standard Operating Procedures
In a stressful situation, it is of great importance that
the operator gets as much support from the system as
possible. Presenting a list of
checkboxes with mandatory
actions for the operator to
perform upon an alarm is a
clear and safe way to make
sure that standard procedures are maintained.

Other Great Features...
The built-in JavaScript engine included in Kentima´s software WideQuick PSIM and Ethiris VMS,
is an exceptional tool for customization of a system. There are virtually no limits for what the
system integrator can achieve using script. A built-in variable browser, intellisense and drag &
drop make scripting easier than ever before. Powerful ready-to-use objects such as the ActiveX
container and the HTML object, allow seamless integration with third-party tools and websites.
Script and Data Store
WideQuick PSIM provides the integrator with a scripting
language for easily enhancing more advanced functionality in PSIM systems. The scripting language is also available for performing mathematical and logical calculations
in all forms of dynamics. The scripts can be executed in
various situations in WideQuick PSIM, such as the result
of an event or continously in dynamics or schedules.
HTML
ActiveX Objects
An ActiveX container is included in
WideQuick PSIM, which means that you
can embed any ActiveX component in your presentation. COM components can also be used, and are
available for usage in the scripting engine.
Language Support
HTML Objects
WideQuick PSIM has an HTML browser
with support for HTML documents and
communications with web servers. It also includes
support for other web-related technologies, for
example running JavaScript from websites.
Unit Conversion
WideQuick Designer includes an advanced tool for extracting text in projects
and gathering them in translation files. In addition,
there is an integrated feature for creating immediate translations to the desired language.
Security and Privileges
To ensure that selected parts of the system can be used by authorized personnel only, several security functions are integrated.
The security system is based on privileges and thus
can be structured freely.
-
WideQuick PSIM includes functionality
that enables switching between unit systems at any time. A project can initially be built up
with for example the SI and US units, and later easily be supplemented with additional unit systems.
Databases
WideQuick PSIM can communicate with
ODBC data sources. This entails access
to nearly all database software on the market such
as SQL Server and Oracle. The database connections can also be used when historical data is logged to the databases.

Preview
A WideQuick PSIM project does not need to be compiled, instead the finished code is immediately created
when making the objects. This means that you can
preview at any time to see what the project will look
like and work in WideQuick Runtime. If external units
or systems are connected, communications will also be
operable.

WideQuick Web Client is a web server module that connects to WideQuick Runtime and enables a facility to be
monitored and controlled via standard web browsers on
both computers and mobile units. It can be run on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) on Windows or on
a web server with support for Fast CGI on GNU/Debian
Linux, such as Apache, or be run on its own. WideQuick
Web Client does not require installation of any plug-in
modules on the computer. In other words, no ActiveX
component, Adobe Flash Player, Oracle Java or Microsoft
Silverlight plug-ins are necessary on the computer, only a
modern web browser.
Fast and Efficient
Undo/Redo
Developing advanced security systems is made extremely easy when using WideQuick PSIM. Many system
integrators attest to WideQuick being one of the fastest
developing tools in the business. Innovative tools such
as OPC browser, graphical aligning, object library and
undo/redo list have a dramatically positive impact on
the development time.
The powerful undo/redo list keeps track of every change
that is made in the on-going project. It´s easy to go back
and forth in the list, effectively undoing/redoing the
previous work. This is a great time saver and gives opportunities to try new ideas without being afraid to ruin the
project.
Object Library
In WideQuick PSIM there are predefined object libraries
for all the typical security systems such as fire alarm, intruder alarm, access control and building automation. In
addition, it is possible to create custom objects and put
them in the object library for reuse in both the current
project as well as other projects.
From the object library, you can drag & drop the
desired number of instances of the object to one or
more workviews in the project. The dynamics of the new
instances operate independently. If the symbol is changed in the object library, it is promoted to all instances in
the project. The object library is another reason for the
success of WideQuick PSIM and for being seen as one of
the fastest and most efficient tools in the industry.

Door state
Vector Graphics
WideQuick PSIM has a well-thought-through structure
for creating vector-based graphics. The basic graphical
objects can quickly be modified with color, multiple gradients, rotation, frame and size to create a modern and
intuitive user interface.
Customized User Interface
The provided example projects make up a very
good starting point. Sometimes these projects
are even used as they are in real systems. Even
though, many times the system integrator wants
to change some details in the user interface.
One of the most appreciated features of
WideQuick PSIM are the powerful tools for
graphical design. With a minimum of training
most users can achieve amazing results using the
WideQuick Designer. For example, changing the
color of every fire alarm detector in a project is
done in an instant, simply change the color for
the object in the object library. The change is
promoted to every instance of that object in the
project.
