Tablet PCs

'Tablet PCs' allow freedom of movement, with full control of the plant you are responsible for. Their wireless capability facilitate trouble shooting on the move and allow operators to use equipment that is difficult to see, or too large to operator from a 'permanent' HMI. By using existing software packages, integration of the tablet PC into your automation system will be seamless and cost effective.
