SolutionsPT product story

HardwarePT panels combine robust hardware with HMI software to provide a comprehensive solution for supervising and managing industrial and manufacturing operations.
HardwarePT has added compact panels to its Applications Ready Platform portfolio.
The new panels are the entry point to its HMI and Scada software solutions, which can manage a single machine, a production line, a complete plant or a customer's entire automation and information enterprise.
The compact panels are an ideal alternative to stand-alone, proprietary operator interface panels.
The panels combine robust hardware with powerful Wonderware human-machine interface (HMI) software to provide a comprehensive solution for supervising and managing industrial and manufacturing operations.
The new compact panel computers offer superior ease of installation and a competitive entry-level price point by bundling a subset of the latest HMI runtime functionality of InTouch 10.0 software with rugged, industrial touch-screen operator panels running Microsoft Windows CE V6.0 software.
The panels are offered in a range of screen sizes and are manufactured to comply with various industrial environment ratings including NEMA 4X/IP 66 and Class 1, Div 2.
In contrast to proprietary operator interface panels, these compact panel computers enable customers to benefit from a common visualisation strategy from the smallest devices to a network of servers or hundreds of clients all operating and managed with a common, easy to use Wonderware software toolset.
The compact panels are configured and managed via the Wonderware's Development Studio, which is designed to enable IT and engineering teams to collaborate on software application modelling, development, change management and deployment across the full range of Wonderware software applications.
These applications include InTouch 10.0 HMI software, System Platform 3.0 software and ArchestrA technology-based applications modules from Wonderware.
Compact panels complement existing industrial computer offerings from HardwarePT and are designed for original equipment manufacturers, machine builders and customers requiring a local, yet networked panel-type solution.
HardwarePT provides a single, unified software platform for all plant visualisation applications with universal data connectivity, rich extensibility and support for a wide breadth of the latest modern hardware including multicore servers, desktops, touch panels, box PCs, tablets, thin-clients and Microsoft CE-based panel computers.
