eScada is natively cross-platform: the same HMI solution runs on Microsoft Windows and Linux, on both x64 and ARM processors, without recompilation and without any installation procedure. You design your project once, then deploy it on the operating system and hardware that best fit your needs: from a server or industrial panel PC down to a Raspberry Pi.
Microsoft x64, ARM
- server from version 2008 R2 to version 2022
- desktop from Windows 7 to Windows 11
- embedded from Windows 7 to Windows 11 IoT
- Windows on ARM
Linux x64, ARM
- all modern Linux DEBIAN based distributions
Even the hardware architecture is your choice: the application binaries we can provide are available for x64 or ARM processors. Raspberry Pi with their OS versions are fully supported, even Windows on ARM OS is supported.
Compiled for your operating system, not adapted to it
eScada executables are compiled natively for each supported operating system and processor architecture. There is no virtual machine, no interpreter and no compatibility layer between the application and the platform: the binaries run directly on the hardware they were built for.
The benefits are concrete: fast start-up, low CPU and memory usage, and stable, predictable performance over time. Native code makes the most of the resources available, so the same solution performs well across the whole hardware range: what an industrial server does with ease, a compact ARM board can still do reliably.
Switching hardware or operating system never means rebuilding anything: the project is the same, you simply pick the executable folder that matches the target platform.
It doesn't require any kind of installation procedure nor compilation for anyone of them. Just copy a folder and start.
