Wonderware
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wonderware, based in Lake Forest, California, is a supplier of industrial automation and information software. Wonderware started in 1987, when the company introduced InTouch® software, the first Human Machine Interface (HMI) based on the Microsoft® Windows® operating system.
[edit] History
Around 1993, the big advancement in personal computers was the acceptance of Windows 3.11. Windows had been around for years but nobody used it, except for a small company named Wonderware that sold a product called InTouch. Wonderware had been using windows for some time and had a windows product already developed, tested, and debugged. Very quickly, it seemed like almost overnight, everyone switched to Windows 3.11. Wonderware was in the right place at the right time because SCADA users suddenly changed to Windows and Wonderware. Wonderware is also well remembered for their incredible parties at the ISA shows. Actually, remembered for the start of the incredible Wonderware parties (nobody can remember the end of one).
Recently Wonderware developed the ArchestrA® technology. Moving forward this technology is set to take advantage of the new Windows Vista operating system.
