Amitec AS has this year sold three new licenses for the warning system Amicall.Net.

One is an extension of two new sites at StatoilHydro, whereupon one is in Norway and another is in Denmark. At the same time Shell decided to upgrade and expand its existing Amicall.Net solution to Amicall Enterprise. This involves the sale of an additional server license, which gives Shell a more secure and redundant solution.

Tor Grindheim, Lead Developer of Amicall, emphasizes that there have been some improvements made by the software lately – most of this is related to the efficiency and stability of the program, as well as some changes in relation to the issue of SMS.

He also adds that there will be some new things to come, for instance there is a rewriting of the current communication piece of the system, which eventually will give our customers the ability to send messages through other media than they are accustomed to today. The idea is to for instance send voice messages over VoIP, and SMS via other carriers – to and from a wide range of countries in the world.

There is also work in progress to take advantage of ISDN cards from other vendors, and the possibility to use other technologies, giving the customer an entirely different opportunity to choose which media he wants to send voice messages over while scaling of the lines are much more flexible.

Operation Manager Frank Botnevik sees it as a positive feedback that our customers choose to expand cooperation in relation to Amicall.

Amitec wins new markets and has entered a contract for the delivery of PI to the paper mill Iggesund Paperboard in Sweden.

Sweden is a large and exciting market with a lot of chemical industry, “says Software Engineer Asle Frantzen. Amitec won the contract in competition with several other major players in the market.

The Bergen company Amitec AS is chosen as the provider of the PI System to Kongsberg Maritime for use on the Gjøa field. This confirms Amitec’s position as the leading IMS supplier to the Norwegian oil and gas market.

- The contract is for a 30,000 tag PI Server and its clients, as well as replication onshore-offshore. The value of the contract is in excess of NOK 2 million. The Kongsberg Maritime has chosen us as a supplier of IMS in its AIM system.  We see that as a declaration of faith to us as a company and PI as a product, “said Chief Technology Officer Borre Heggernes.

Gjøa is operated by StatoilHydro in the development phase, but it is Gaz de France, who will operate the field when it starts production.

Amitec  now combines the best of two worlds: the communication and notification, we are known for our proprietary notification system Amicall.Net, along with OSI Soft’s new AF 2.0.
Amitec is thus the first to create an SMS plugin for AF 2.0 with PI Notifications, which gives you the ability to notify people over SMS when you reach certain limits on real time measurements.

You can choose which people you want to notify by retrieving them from their own Active Directory, add people directly, or a combination thereof. Rules and layouts for when messages are triggered, are managed internally in AF 2.0 and PI Notifications’ own interface.

Amitec has since 1996 focused on real-time data (OSIsoft PI) and Microsoft technology. We are an OSIsoft Value Added Reseller (VAR) and a Microsoft Gold Partner.

In this regard we are interested in PI users and customers who would like to participate as pilot users  for the system. If interested, please contact:
