The mobile workforce army is growing, a total of 70 percent of the American workforce will be mobile in 2012 via the International Data Corporation. However, mobile manufacturing numbers are low, with large critical infrastructure issues standing in the way.
However, visual production data has been present in manufacturing for quite some time. Now, Advantech is offering a "lite" version of its
terminal and Internet Explorer version, WebAccess, in an "app" format.
This SCADA app allows users to view alarms, take
snapshots of pages showing the current status of dynamic elements, read
tag values and a new trend function. This new trend feature monitors datalog trends in a
real-time graph and it can be seen in finer detail by using gesture control, a zoom feature.
This free app can run on any device running IOS 3.2 or greater and can
be found in the Apple App store. An online demo is available via
Advantech's web site and an Android version is coming soon.Advantech Co., Ltdwww.advantech.com
