FactoryKPI software is designed for viewing and monitoring factory performance and condition information on Apple iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch devices. The application enables manufacturing decision makers to share and respond to conditions and incidents in the office, on the plant floor or at any remote location in the world. It receives information from one or more KPIServers, which in turn receives information from a manufacturer's existing historian or from a manufacturing intelligence, HMI, SCADA or other automation control system. The KPIServer connects to these data sources using the industry-standard OPC protocol.
