Invensys Releases Wonderware InTouch Access Anywhere Software

Invensys, Houston, Texas, USA, has released its Wonderware InTouch Access Anywhere software solution for accessing plant-floor data. The new solution runs entirely and securely inside of a web browser so that users can connect to other InTouch applications at anytime from anywhere, using any mobile device, including Microsoft Surface tablets, iPads, iPhones, Androids, and others. The software also supports Macintosh and Linux-based computer systems, as well as Microsoft Windows PCs and laptops. And because users are not required to install any software on their mobile device, the offering is easy to deploy, manage, and maintain.

"This new offering complements Invensys' broader mobile strategy to provide and improve real-time visualization, collaboration, and execution at multiple levels of an organization," according to Craig Resnick, VP, ARC Advisory Group. "Along with delivering mobile solutions for reporting, decision-support, dashboards, workflow, and workforce execution, this new offering also brings HMI visualization capabilities to mobile devices. These capabilities extend the company's operations management software portfolio by providing plant operators and other key individuals with modern process optimization tools, regardless of their location or the task being performed, and in real time."

InTouch Access Anywhere software is the newest capability in the company's progressive suite of mobility solutions, which now includes workflow, reporting, analytics, visualization, maintenance management, operator training, data gathering, and procedure management. In 2010, Invensys released its IntelaTrac offering, a mobile reporting and decision support system that enables workflow, data collection, and general task management. In 2011, the company released its SmartGlance solution, an industrial reporting application that delivers secure, on-demand access to rich, graphical reports from any operations data source via mobile devices. In 2012, Invensys released its Work Tasks mobile offering, enabling plant personnel, regardless of their location, to respond immediately to assigned work tasks via the company's ArchestrA Workflow software.

More information about the new software is available online.
