COMPASS 2

Alerton’s Compass Supervisor provides an intuitive, scalable user experience. Compass delivers
customizable navigation, visual system cues, quick access to data, user security, advanced scheduling,
alarm management and graphical representation of single or multiple buildings’ systems. These
features enable building operators and facility engineers to quickly identify and resolve system issues,
while improving efficiencies and reduce budgets through an advanced scheduling interface.

Graphical controls bring data to life. The adaptive OmniGraphic images transform background
images into interactive controls to visually communicate and indicate system status and
occupant comfort levels. Experienced users have access to advanced features such as the
summary display, which can provide a wide variety of complex, interactive data on one screen.
Seamlessly converts Alerton legacy graphics (bitmaps) to HTML 5 format, enabling you to
quickly integrate graphical content to the web without using Flash and third-party plug-ins.

Compass offers a sophisticated tool set to support any mission-critical facility,

including those requiring FDA CFR21 compliance. Enhanced reporting and a secure
SQL Database allow the generation of compliance reports, while LDAP authentication
enables the scheduling of secure emails. With improved localization feature, multiple
Web-UI users can connect to the same Compass System using their native language
and comfortable numeric formats. An interactive table of data (Summary Page) allows
users to sort tables and edit the value of multiple points in a single operation. Provides
detailed User Activity Log allows a full audit trail of all changes made to the system.

Compass is a powerful, dynamic interface enabling users to monitor and

CPU Cores and Memory recommendations are minimums – increasing the number of cores, and the amount of memory improves performance and
provides a better user experience. Additional memory is recommended for projects with many concurrent users, displays, or templates. For example,
a project with ten or more users and 100 or more displays and templates may need additional memory.
