    I'm  using IntegraXor to develop my project. The HMI graphic and zooming work nice on my tablet and smartphone. Maybe you can try access their online demo to have a look. http://www.integraxor.com/blog/scada-demo/

    Thanks for mentioning this. I agree with you. I came across IntegraXor in recent years and I have to say I like their HMI because the interface is responsive. I can also use my smartphone to open the HMI via my phone's web browsers, the HMI will auto fit into the browser's size and I can also swipe to zoom in or drag around freely. 


  2. Does your system contain PLC? You might need PLC to control your machine, which will be wired to your machine.

    Other than PLC, you may opt for a SCADA or even MES to do the talking job with both sides (MRP and PLC). E.g. Barcode scanner will send SN to MRP, then it will send a signal to SCADA, and SCADA (which connects to PLC directly) will signal the PLC bit to start the machine. 

    You can refer to this case study using Ecava IntegraXor SCADA to integrate with MRP and Siemens PLC. 

    Some additional info on SCADA and MES can be found here: https://www.integraxor.com/scada-mes/

     

    Hope this helps. Good luck. 


  3. Hi Park Shin Hye,

    I agree that somehow data logging software seems like what you might need for now. But just to avoid in the future that your end user "suddenly" wanted to add in HMI screens or any GUI, then you have to redo the whole thing.

    I suggest you to check out Ecava IntegraXor, it is a very light SCADA leaving no burden to your system. I saw you mentioned about implementing it on basic workstation, and you can read in IntegraXor website where they tested the SCADA with mini computer run as the server, which is something quite interesting for me.

    Good luck.
