WebCentral Supervisory Control Software

 

 

What is WebCentral?

WebCentral is a browser-based supervisory control software application that allows you to access the database of a Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. control system. It allows you to do things like add or remove ingredients, create and manage recipes, manage ingredient and product inventories, set up a batching schedule, and review and print historical reports in a batching control system. Because WebCentral is browser-based, it is very simple and intuitive to use. This also means that WebCentral can be accessed by virtually any computer that is networked with the Sterling Systems batching or other type of control system, without having to install any software, other than a web browser. All features of WebCentral are protected with an elaborate, yet flexible, security scheme which is fully customizable.

Why WebCentral?

Does Accounting need to look up historical records, but they can’t modify recipes? What if your lab or corporate office needs to change recipes, but you don’t want them to change the batching schedule? No problem! WebCentral is a perfect fit for these and many other scenarios where a variety of individuals need access to information from your control system in a secure, reliable, and simple way.
