AVEVA updates InTouch Unlimited HMI/SCADA capabilities

AVEVA has announced updated capabilities and commercial models for its InTouch Unlimited HMI/SCADA software. The company said new features, optimised commercial models and pricing make it easier for end users, OEMs and systems integrators to develop and scale HMI/SCADA applications from edge to cloud, with the ability to incorporate analytics and CONNECT, AVEVA’s industrial intelligence platform.

AVEVA InTouch Unlimited offers an all-inclusive licensing package available in perpetual and subscription models with unlimited tags, clients and scalability. The InTouch Unlimited package features process historian and reporting functionality, equipping users with the ability to collect and unlock the value of data sourced at the edge, and from multiple plants and systems spanning the enterprise. Modernised development tools are now available free of charge and include prebuilt templates to accelerate design productivity, as well as simplified tag and application development workflow leveraging industry standard protocols such as OPC-UA and MQTT.

As a component of the broader AVEVA Operations Control software portfolio, AVEVA said InTouch Unlimited can utilise a hybrid-cloud architecture to integrate AI features such as predictive quality, throughput and energy efficiency into traditional HMI/SCADA applications. By pairing AVEVA Operations Control with CONNECT, developers can consolidate operations data from various production lines, plants and value chains. The company said this provides a centralised view of operations and allows the system to scale with business growth without the need for application redevelopment.
