MIDAS (Master Information and Data Acquisition System)
The Master Information and Data Acquisition System (MIDAS) is a computerized work control system that provides 24-hour, real-time access to plant equipment information and work package status. It is used in the 400 Area of the Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford Site in Richland, Washington. MIDAS was originally created to aid in the release and control of work at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF), which is operated by the Westinghouse Hanford Company for the DOE. After MIDAS performed that function at FFTF successfully for over two years, its role was expanded to provide similar functions for other facilities supporting the LMR mission. Through its ability to provide online, accurate information on plant components, safety criteria, and work package status, MIDAS reinforces Operations functions and the control and authorization of maintenance activities in the FFTF plant and in other related facilities. Thus, MIDAS enhances the operational safety, as well as the planning and scheduling process for these facilities. MIDAS consists of three parts: The Plant Tracking System (PTS), the Work Control Log (WCL), and the MIDAS Component Indices (MCI).
