Blue Lagoon Iceland upgraded its legacy GENESIS32 SCADA system to GENESIS64 after 20 years of operation. System integrator Idnadartaekni migrated the platform in weeks, implementing AssetWorX hierarchy, Global Aliasing, AlarmWorX aggregation, and Hyper Historian. The web-based thin client architecture enables browser access, concurrent multi-user configuration, and Active Directory integration without client software installation.

Key takeaways

GENESIS64 migration completed in weeks with parallel operation for operator validation

AssetWorX and navigation tree structure improved site hierarchy and information access

Web-based thin client eliminated client software installs and enabled background maintenance

AlarmWorX centralized alarm configuration removed direct PLC alarm dependencies

Active Directory synchronization simplified user management and access control
