New technologies applied to astronomical facilities have allowed the development of fully automatically controlled observatories. For an efficient operation, reliable and fast data calibration and analysis software is crucial for an automatic treatment of the vast amount of images to be used in scientific studies. The IEEC Calibration and Analysis Tool (ICAT) software presented here, has been developed as a tool for robotic observatories with the objective of managing astronomical images to extract relevant scientific information in real time. It has been implemented in a modular way to allow an easy use in combination with most of the CCD camera control software. CAT is based on Perl and Unix shell scripts, for file managing, and it uses the NOAO PC-IRAF and Source Extractor packages as image handling tools. Because of its modularity and design the software can be easily incorporated in the frame of a general observatory control system, under either batch or direct user control. All routines and products will conform to Virtual Observatory standards.
