Enable your Workforce and Collaborate at the Edge with AVEVA Edge 2020

Posted: June 17, 2020

This year has presented challenges to traditional ways of working, including an increased focus on workforce safety and enablement that necessitates the need to access, control and manage applications from remote locations. We have also seen the need to bring information from the edge, HMI, and SCADA layers of control systems to the employees who most need them, wherever they are, on any device.

Designed to ensure confidence and collaboration for your operations for 2020

AVEVA Edge, formerly InTouch Edge HMI launched in June 2020, is the evolution of two decades of refinement in a powerful SCADA/HMI software. AVEVA’s Edge to Enterprise strategy, with AVEVA Edge as a key offer, empowers industrial and infrastructure operations from remote fleets of edge devices, to plant floor control all the way to enterprise operations..

Two key themes that AVEVA Edge 2020 focuses on include workforce enablement and standardization. This release introduces Edge Management for remote lifecycle management of edge fleet applications that improves your team’s remote collaboration experience. Additionally, we recognize the value of standardization, with Industrial Graphics integration for improved interoperability within the AVEVA portfolio bringing in the ‘Build Once, Deploy Anywhere’ philosophy of AVEVA Edge.
