Wonderware System Platform

[Rod_Hackney 2]

We have one facility that utilizes Wondware software. Currently, we use version 9.5 and are working on upgrade plans for 10.0. We have not yet decided if we will upgrade only or go to version 10.0 with system platform. Wanted to ask opinions of system platform and experiences. Thanks in advance.

I have been a Wonderware user since it was a DOS based product. Having said that, I will admit that around 2000, Intouch seemed to begin to lag behind other HMI's. The owner of Wonderware (Invensys) wanted to radically change the product, by the Archestra platform. The Application Server has finally matured with the Version 3 release and Intouch 10.0 . They now share a single IDE for development and the Object Oriented paradigm is great. If you are doing a significant amount of development, it may be worht your while to at least get a demo version and see how it can work for you. Nik nkinze@neo.rr.com
