@dobey The thing is that we'll have to implement a quick access system sooner or later, that means phones or tablets that are capable of displaying real-time information and control from whatever corner of the factory. The thing is running 24/7/365..., I work in shifts and sometimes I'm alone, I have a fault, I'm at the location of the fault, but I cant see the system measurements since the PC is somewhere far away... Dumbphones are for the basic worker, but the core is using Android and the management iPhone. The core needs a mobile real-time information display platform.
We basically need to be able to display information provided by this: "*SIMATIC WinCC is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) system from Siemens. SCADA systems are used to monitor and control physical processes involved in industry and infrastructure on a large scale and over long distances. SIMATIC WinCC can be used in combination with Siemens controllers. WinCC is written for the Microsoft Windows operating system.[1][2] It uses Microsoft SQL Server for logging and comes with a VBScript and ANSI C application programming interface.[3]
In 2010, WinCC and PCS 7 were the first known SCADA systems to be specifically targeted by malware. The Stuxnet worm can spy on and even reprogram infected systems*.[4]" on a phone or tablet and be able to interact with it. This would be huge, if possible, as would cover at least Austria and Germany.
