InTouch Machine Edition is a customizable HMI designed specifically for the embedded and OEM applications where a small footprint and cost effective price are paramount. The compact footprint and full feature set enable OEMs, machine builders and end users to create intuitive, secure, and highly maintainable HMI applications for any industry.

The compact footprint of the InTouch Machine Edition makes it the ideal HMI for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It can deploy and run on small panel PCs, embedded devices and machines and supports remote HMI access on smartphones and tablets without any client installations.

InTouch Machine Edition is a natural extension of the current Wonderware HMI portfolio and the perfect complement for customers who already own Wonderware System Platform or Wonderware Historian. It provides embedded devices, local PC-based HMIs, SCADA systems with unique functionality for connecting automation systems end-to-end.

Key value drivers:

  • Seamless integration of small footprint embedded devices to System Platform and Historian
  • Platform agnostic, so users can build an application once and deploy it on embedded Linux and VxWorks as well as embedded Microsoft OS desktop and server platforms
  • Native Web-browser visualization with zero client installation and administration.
