WEB MEETS AUTOMATION

摘要

The smartphone is the poster child for high-performance electronics with ultimate interface usability. Unsurprisingly, operators of industrial machinery and equipment desire nothing less for the interfaces they use every day. With mapp View, B&R now offers direct access to the wide world of web technology right from the engineering environment. For the first time, automation engineers have all the tools they need to create powerful and intuitive HMI solutions - and they don't have to be an expert web developer to do it, as Stefan Schonegger, marketing manager at B&R explains... Modern websites and smartphone operating systems are designed by large teams of usability, design and ergonomics specialists. "An OEM doesn't typically have those kinds of resources at their disposal," says B&R's marketing manager, Stefan Schonegger. To bridge the gap, what they need are easy-to-use tools integrated in their familiar programming environment.
