PROCESSING THROUGH THE INTERNET

摘要

With all the hyperbole surrounding the Internet, it's nice to point to an industry in which the global computer network is having a major impact. The process automation business is one such example. Internet technology enables greater access to process information from outside the control room, and it allows live process information to be moved across an entire organization. Almost any computer from virtually anywhere can access information on the Internet. A key to the power of Internet technology is the transparency of data. Information can be called up from many sources without the user specifying the search path or target server.
