AVEVA’s Edge to Enterprise - powering the new industrial experience

Posted: May 7, 2020

Remember 1987?

It was defined by the birth of an HMI revolution. When first released, InTouch was demonstrably unique. The sceptics mocked the hype. The believers embraced the fresh new name promising a simpler approach to controlling industrial and manufacturing processes.

Powered by Microsoft’s Windows technology, the leap in graphics was extraordinary. But it wasn’t just the brilliant graphics; InTouch also transformed the project workflow and provided unparalleled ease of use. As you drew your mimics, you created your tags.  You could just tick a box and add a feature. Days became hours.

 In 1987 these radical concepts were a paradigm shift that was long overdue and the reason Wonderware became one of the fastest growing software companies in the US during the early 1990’s. Since then, InTouch has been the world’s number one HMI and has been so for the past 30 years.

Fast forward to 2020. InTouch is again starting a new revolution; this time it’s under a greater global brand of AVEVA. Yes, InTouch has a slightly differently commercial name “AVEVA InTouch HMI, formerly Wonderware.”

The heritage is still the same. One that aspires to innovate and bring forth efficiencies across all industries.

An Evolution Path for Existing InTouch HMI users

Modern web & mobile UI/UX has come to InTouch Unlimited.

This new offer through AVEVA Flex subscription will provide max tags, unlimited clients and yes, a full browser support with READ WRITE access, development tools, historian and communication drivers. The best part of our AVEVA InTouch HMI modernization story is that it offers this without re-engineering of existing InTouch applications!  A truly seamless upgrade process.

Unfortunately, many companies have to weigh the project cost impact of user client licensing. Project costs should not be dictated by the number of users that consume the data. Enterprise-wide access to information should be ubiquitous, not a privilege restricted to a few.

InTouch Unlimited essentially enables smaller companies to compete and achieve world class results for a fraction of the cost! Now, small to medium size companies that have tight budget constraints have means to drive down initial investments by leveraging the AVEVA Flex subscription. AVEVA Flex empowers any customer, of any size with full depth and breadth of the entire AVEVA portfolio via annual subscription. Truly the first of its kind, portfolio as a service.

Learn how AVEVA InTouch HMI, formerly Wonderware offers a modern user experience for all InTouch customers.
