Manufacturing

Manufacturing firms need to support desktop computing for both staff administrative use and in process control workstations controlling key parts of the manufacturing plant and providing process control and monitoring displays to plant workers.

Often operating in the harsh and space-constrained environment of the plant floor, if any of these process control workstations fails, it can create unplanned downtime for the entire line or even the whole plant. And undetected errors can result in the loss of a batch or even create a safety risk for plant staff.

Pano System virtual desktops and Zero Clients provide the cost-effective flexible deployment models needed for with Computer-Integrated-Manufacturing along with the reliability to keep plants up and running around the clock. They keep critical data and computing hardware off the plant floor and in the data center where it can be more easily deployed, monitored, and repaired.

Key features of the Pano System supporting virtual desktops for manufacturing firms include:
  • Highly durable Pano Zero Clients don't require moving parts or air circulation for cooling providing longer life spans in harsh environments in manufacturing plants.
    •  
  • Flexible Device-based and User-based deployment models using Pano Controller’s DVM Collections to readily tailor virtual desktops for use by staff or in process control.
    •  
  • Remote trouble-shooting and problem resolution eliminate need to travel to out to the plant site.  Instead IT staff can monitor and reproduce and potential problems from their desks, speeding resolution and reducing line and plant downtime.
    •  
  • Native Windows driver support simplifies deployment of Pano Zero Clients with the same process control and display peripherals used with PCs.
