The WLAN option for Systec & Solutions HMI systems now also permits wireless, mobile use of IGEL Thin Clients. Thanks to the Bluetooth option, wireless connection of Bluetooth handheld scanners or other Bluetooth HID end devices to our IGEL Thin Clients is possible as well.

A Bluetooth manager in the IGEL configuration software provides convenient administration. The potential applications for the Bluetooth and WLAN function range from mobile stations for pharmaceutical production to monitoring of the production process in the life science industry and cost-efficient retrofitting of HMI systems with Thin Client technology.

With the aid of the universal desktop converter, the latest version 3 IGEL Thin Client software can be installed on all PC-based HMI systems from Systec & Solutions, enabling the HMI to be used as a fully functional IGEL Thin Client. This involves creating a client-server architecture permitting the implementation of a convenient remote control solution for the server. Thin Client technology from IGEL provides an ideal means of achieving this simply and efficiently. This also permits incorporation of different GMP IT hardware into an IGEL infrastructure. Convenient central administration of every HMI system is then possible with the universal management suite.
