The manufacturing world is changing rapidly. Plant managers and operators can no longer be tied to control room workstations, yet they need secure, reliable access to their critical process information. The challenge? Providing this accessibility without compromising system integrity or requiring complex software deployments.
The Evolution of Industrial Visualization
Traditional HMI access required dedicated workstations with installed software, limiting flexibility and increasing IT overhead. AVEVA InTouch Web Client transforms this paradigm by enabling secure access to your HMI through any HTML5-compliant web browser, marking a significant advancement in industrial visualization technology.
Understanding the Technology Advantage
What sets InTouch Web Client apart is its innovative architecture. Unlike traditional remote access solutions that depend on Remote Desktop Services (RDS) or Internet Information Services (IIS), InTouch Web Client delivers native browser-based visualization. This means your team can access real-time process information through standard web browsers, without installing specialized software on each device.
The Power of Modern Web Technology
The system leverages HTML5 technology to provide responsive visualization that adapts to different screen sizes and devices. Whether viewing process data on a desktop monitor or tablet, operators get consistent, clear visualization of their InTouch applications. This flexibility proves invaluable for modern operations where mobility and rapid response times matter.
Real Business Impact
Consider a maintenance supervisor who needs to monitor multiple process areas while moving throughout the facility. Instead of returning to a fixed workstation, they can access critical process information from any network-connected device with a web browser. This immediate access translates to faster response times and more informed decision-making.
Simplified IT Management
For IT departments, InTouch Web Client significantly reduces deployment complexity. With no client-side software to install and maintain, system updates become more streamlined. The HTML5-based architecture eliminates the need for managing individual workstation installations while maintaining secure access to process visualization.
Making the Move to Web-Based HMI
Organizations ready to enhance their operational visibility should consider three key factors:
First, assess your current visualization needs: Where would mobile access to process information provide the most value? Second, review your network infrastructure to ensure it supports secure web-based access. Finally, consider how InTouch Unlimited's comprehensive licensing model, which includes unlimited web and mobile clients, could transform your operational visibility.
The Path Forward
Web-based HMI access isn't just about convenience—it's about empowering your team with the right information at the right time. AVEVA InTouch Web Client provides this capability through proven technology that's already operating in facilities worldwide.
