An integrated VNC client allows to reach and operate remote systems directly from the HMI pages.
The remote desktop is displayed inside the picture, so operators can interact with other machines and devices of the plant without leaving the HMI solution and without installing external applications.
In a real plant the HMI is rarely alone: vision systems, robot controllers, dedicated PCs and third party equipment live alongside it, each with its own interface. With the integrated VNC client all of them become reachable from the supervision pages, and several remote systems can be displayed at the same time if needed: fewer walks across the plant, faster interventions, and a single station from which the whole line can be observed and operated. Through a properly configured VPN, with the client reachable as its endpoint, the same pages let you assist a remote site as if you were standing in front of it.
