Icon's flagship product, IconData, is used to acquire, process, display and record meteorological and oceanographic data from over 75 sites, approximately 60 of which are in the North Sea. Input channels range from visibility measured every minute, wave height measured 4 times per second to high-frequency vessel motion measured 32 times per second.
The software uses modern PC technology to provide intuitive graphical displays and efficient real-time processing of large quantities of 'raw' data. Each IconData deployment consists of a fully configurable set of modules structured around the core, which handles the rapid and reliable transfer of data between modules. This way, systems are assembled to match each client's exact requirements.
IconData is largely implemented in Java, enabling the use of real-time displays on a full range of devices. We provide an easy-to-implement interface for developing extension modules, requiring minimal 'boilerplate' code.
Within the oil and gas industry, IconData is branded as NIMOS and is licensed exclusively through RigNet. We are actively exploring applications for the software in other markets.
Icon have developed software for Guidance Navigation to support the deployment of their intelligent navigation systems. This software provides a platform for the design of optimal reflector layouts within sructures, and offers features such as the importing of CAD building layouts, automatic reflector positioning, and heat-map style visual indication of signal strength.
We are actively exploring other markets for online training applications.
The web site also includes a fully integrated station database with sensor information and task logging. All features are fully configurable by Agip and the authentication system allows fine-grained control of user permissions. Caspian WebMET is used on a daily basis for weather forecasting and operational decision making. It may be viewed in either English or Russian languages.
Business Intelligence Display Platform
Expanding out into new fields - Icon has developed a business intelligence display platform, which can integrate seamlessly with a central ERP database, and provides a simple, user-friendly, and easily extensible tool for the display of buisness information data and key performance indicators.
The software provides advanced statistical analysis and charting of meteorological and oceanographic data. We frequently update the code to integrate the latest research in metocean data analysis.
