There is an increasing trend towards centralization in IT landscapes. This involves creating a client-server architecture that permits the implementation of a remote control solution for the server. Thin Client technology from IGEL provides an ideal means of achieving this conveniently, simply and efficiently.

The IGEL Thin Client software UDC3 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 also makes it easy to incorporate GMP IT hardware into an IGEL infrastructure. Convenient central management and administration of every HMI system is then possible with the free Universal Management Suite.

Profiles can be used to pre-define authorization levels and roles for the individual HMIs. The previously specified authorization levels can be instantly assigned to the individual clients using drag and drop or group definitions. The systems can thus be immediately and conveniently integrated into the infrastructure and are soon available for use by the IT personnel. Just a few clicks are required to make individual adaptations or to update profiles for the selected client.

Further advantages of an IGEL Thin Client in a GMP environment:

- Incorporation of HMI systems into an existing IGEL infrastructure through Ethernet or WLAN
- High-speed 64-bit system
- No need for local virus scanners
- Wireless operation of the IGEL Thin Client with TROLLEY platform by way of WLAN
- Bluetooth is supported – direct Bluetooth wireless connection of barcode scanners to the IGEL Thin Client
- Serial interface for scales
- Touchscreen operation, also with PCT multi-touch
- Connection of USB devices
- All standard remote protocols such as RDP, Citrix, Vmware or VNC are supported
- Central profile-based remote administration of all IGEL Thin Clients by Universal Management Suite
- Less expensive than conventional KVM solutions or PCs
- Low maintenance costs
