Powerful SCADA/HMI Generator

P-CIM for Windows, the advanced SCADA/HMI application generator from AFCON Software and Electronics Inc, is cruising along the "information highway" with its latest product P-CIM for the Web.

It's no secret that the World Wide Web is an inexpensive and practical alternative to traditional client/server based applications. The Web provides the web client with immediate cross platform support.

It's also no secret that tool development for Web-based applications cannot keep pace with today's ever-changing technology. P-CIM web provides the optimal solution for client/ server SCADA/HMI application systems distributed over the web.

SCADA Application

P-CIM for the Web enables transmission and reception of SCADA data through the Internet (or Intranet) to any computer terminal equipped with MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or above. P-CIM for the Web uses the World Wide Web - or your corporate intranet system - as a communication medium to any authorized client, anywhere in the world. By placing the brunt of complex applications on a dedicated server and running the applications on 'Thin Client' workstations, P-CIM for the web provides an effective and inexpensive alternative to the traditional Client /Server architecture of SCADA applications.
