Smart Client helps process industry users securely access their ABB or third-party automation systems via an internet browser for real-time visibility into the process. Easy to use and understand, Smart Client requires no programming to configure displays. Unlike other thin clients that require separate data definitions, Smart Client eliminates duplicate engineering effort by using the existing data definitions in System 800xA, saving time and money. It harnesses the power of System 800xA’s single point change management and engineering to provide the data integrity and trusted information needed to accurately assess production status and potential situations. Smart Client accesses and presents actual live data from where it resides in the system.
The latest version of Smart Client includes improved alarm and event display functionality, so that users quickly identify the root cause of problems. This release makes it easy to navigate to the real-time alarm and event status from the data values on the user’s role-based dashboard, where all information is displayed in a meaningful context. Smart Client provides the up-to-the-minute production information needed to make the informed decisions that ultimately lead to operational improvement.
Smart Client is a core component of cpmPlus, ABB’s Collaborative Production Management suite of applications. cpmPlus provides process and production management, advanced optimization and connectivity solutions for the process industries.
“This latest version of our cpmPlus Smart Client provides better access to the critical information our customers need to keep their operations profitable and maintain their competitive edge,” said Rauli Hantikainen, Vice President, CPM Operations, ABB. “We have expanded the reach of this robust, easy-to-use solution to help harness the tremendous power of real-time information for better decision-making, at any time of day or night, from any location.”
