Inductive Automation’s Perspective module gives companies access to web-functionality tools while also linking to legacy systems

For many factories, a web-based human-machine interface (HMI) has been a wish-list item for years. As internet tools and functionality and hardware developments have evolved drastically advanced in the past several years, this desire for a flexible, web-based HMI has only grown. 

Enter Inductive Automation's Ignition Perspective module. This solution provides the web functionality that developers have desired, while also linking to legacy systems. In this article from Automation World, a sibling publication to Control Design, Randy Otto, CEO of ECS Solutions, outlines the benefits this offering can provide factories. 

Read Web-based HMI Proves Ready for Industrial Use for Otto's complete explanation of the benefits of Inductive Automation's Perspective module.
