Wonderware releases bring HMI into managed applications world

摘要

To ensure harmony between its past and future - i.e., to support the installed base even as it moves firmly into the plant SOA era - Wonderware introduced in early September version 10.0 of its InTouch human-machine interface (HMI) software, which "brings it into the world of managed applications," and version 3.0 of its System Platform. Use of PCs running Microsoft operating systems to manage industrial processes began 20 years ago with a handful of software vendors - with Wonderware among the first to market. Today a business unit of Invensys, about 450,000 Wonderware software licenses can be found in more than 100,000, or about one-third, of the world's plants.
