After all, you're my Wonderware
15 Jan 2000
Available in the UK next month from Pantek, distributor of Wonderware's InTouch automation software, is FactorySuite - a bundled version of seven different Wonderware products.
The basic FactorySuite package, supplied on CD-ROM, runs on Windows NT 4.0 and offers modules for process visualisation, PC-based machine and process control, a real-time plant data manager, Internet/intranet viewing capabilities, and Wonderware's own library of input/output servers.
The FactorySuite Plus package adds Wonderware's InBatch flexible batch management and InTrack management systems.
The bundling approach mimics the Microsoft Office suite of business application software and Microsoft sees FactorySuite `as a tool that can accelerate acceptance of Windows NT 4.0 and the Microsoft SQL Server database as replacements for Unix systems.'
Both bundles are available with a new licence manager that eliminates any need for the `dongles' previously required for software copy protection.
Starting price will be '£10 500.
