What is InTouch?
AVEVA InTouch is the world’s most advanced, scalable, extensible and intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) and process visualization software.
InTouch uses the most sophisticated graphical technology and is simply, the most intuitive process visualization product in the market. It offers class leading innovation, brilliant graphics, legendary ease of use and unsurpassed connectivity.
Situational Awareness for Operator Effectiveness
Through 30 years of countless visual and technological innovative advancements, InTouch brings unmatched clarity, consistency and meaning to integrated data. Collectively these visual innovations improve the ability to better understand the recent past, present and possible future of the process.
The Situational Awareness Library of ArchestrA Graphics provides a superior set of building blocks for dynamic process visualization. It's a unique resource that helps make it easier for operators to focus on the most useful content, troubleshoot and minimize distraction and fatigue. The result is less disruption and downtime and greater focus on performance improvement, safety and cost control. Simply Wonderware.
Visualization Access Anywhere
The world’s favorite HMI is also fully mobile. Casual and remote Web HMI and mobile SCADA users can now view and control real-time plant floor operations data using a secure web browser from just about any “Smart” device such as tablets and smartphones.
Wonderware® InTouch Access Anywhere is an extension to Wonderware InTouch. It provides access to InTouch applications via any HTML5-compliant web browser, and it completes our vision of enabling visualization, collaboration and execution at various levels of the organization, with zero client installation and zero maintenance. It enables users to securely monitor or troubleshoot plant equipment or process from any location, on any device, at any time. Simply Wonderware.
Unequaled Investment Protection
With a thirty year history of never leaving any customer behind, Wonderware consistently provides seamless upgrade path year over year that protects customer’s investments in InTouch applications. An InTouch application implemented decades ago can still run, unchanged, on the latest InTouch software. You get all the benefits of the latest hardware and operating system improvements, without the re-engineering costs— no other company can make that claim. Simply Wonderware.
The Hub for Enterprise Unification
In today’s modern industrial facilities there is a myriad of data sources — from field devices, to PLCs to full blown distributed control systems (DCSs). InTouch has been the leader in open systems since 1987 and has earned that reputation by connecting to more plant floor devices and systems than any other software. Industrial plants across the globe frequently replace PLC vendor-supplied software with InTouch. It connects to hundreds of available I/O and OPC servers and the Wonderware DA Server toolkit allows you to create specialized data servers, easily, as needed. No data is off limits to InTouch.
Versatility and Extensibility
InTouch is an open and extensible HMI with intuitive graphical animation and scripting capabilities that provide incredible power and flexibility for application designers. InTouch offers the ability to use vector graphics, bitmap graphics, library symbols, .NET controls and legacy ActiveX controls.
ArchestrA symbols support embedded .NET controls, giving youthe freedom for unrestricted application extensibility without programming. They also offer access to standard controls such as Web browsers, desktop applications, mapping tools, ERP components and any other application based on .NET compliant controls. Simply Wonderware.
Ready To Use Symbol Library
InTouch comes equipped out-of- the-box with comprehensive library of pre-built, pre-tested stunning graphical symbols library and faceplates containing over 500 professionally designed ArchestrA graphic symbols, most with customizable ‘intelligence’ already incorporated, giving you drag-and-drop access to pre-built engineering components.
InTouch lower the engineering cost enabling you to quickly and easily develop custom graphical views of your real-time processes. Simply Wonderware.
Powerful and Sophisticated
Virtualization technologies are key enablers for companies looking to save on hardware costs. No one in the industry offers more virtualization options than Wonderware, including the latest Microsoft® virtualization technology, Hyper-V and VMware. InTouch leverages Hyper-V and VMware so you can set up redundant HMI applications locally or at a remote site for more cost effective high availability and disaster recovery options.
Dynamic resolution conversion provides runtime scaling between screen resolutions, so you can view InTouch applications on a variety of screen resolutions without having to modify the application. This enables operational agility with the ability the ability to build and run applications anywhere.
Resolution independent graphics can also be resized or stretched without any distortion, and can be designed in one resolution and reused without distortion in a different resolution or on a variety of devices regardless of screen size.
InTouch has native ‘smarts’ built-in with functionality for consistent data handling and visualization of data quality on Operator displays. All this power at your fingertips without having to write a single line of code. Simply Wonderware.
