Ubiquitous environment for processes monitoring in power stations

This paper describes an Integral Technical Information Management System (ITIMS), which has been designed to operate in industrial fields where it is necessary to monitor a number of processes. ITIMS is a distributed instrumentation environment with ubiquitous access to information that has been developed using standard information and communications technologies, and which is currently operative in the ENDESA-As Pontes coal-fired power station, located in Galicia (NW Spain).
