News and Events

OpenPlant Centaur Version Released

The Centaur version of OpenPlant was today released as a free upgrade to existing clients. Included in the Centaur version are a number of features that had been requested by clients. Because OpenPlant uses Internet technologies, all users were immediately updated with the new version. No action was required on their behalf.

These include new screens to allow:

  • Site Agents to immediately identify internal from external arrivals
  • Listing of available and unavailable internal plant at time of assignment of items
  • Live costs per site for all activities, including current items on hire, on one screen
  • Forward scheduling of off-hires
  • Increased searching/live reporting facilities

"The Open Source suite of products not only paid for themselves within 6 months, they allowed us to reduce staffing levels and, for the first time ever, allowed us to control our Plant costs and maximize the utilization of our own Plant"

Gerald Clift, Commercial Director, McPhillips
