Addi$onal Customer Profit
Extract the maximum benefit from ACP technology
• Reduce System Maintenance Cost • Amplify Infrastructure Value • Empower Personnel Result in Improved Profitability and Reduced TCO
Knowledge is Power
• RTFM -‐ Your intui)on is trouble – Read The Freaking Manual – Chief defense against ID-‐10-‐T errors
• Real or Virtualized – Know your plaYorm
• MicrosoR Remote Desktop Services – Must have a very good understanding – Has changed significantly as of late.
ThinManager Help
• Don’t be afraid of this manual
• Clean & Concise • Troubleshoo$ng and Quick-‐start – Read First – Review
• Excellent Support

ACP Enabled TC vs PC
• Opera$ng Systems – Updates – Viruses – Corp Policies
• Replacement Time – Inventory Age Out – Installa$on $me – SoRware age out
• ACP Thin Client – Hook up – Power up – Use
System Maintenance
• Organiza$on – All Plant HMI’s at a glance – Organized by func$on / area – Your choice
• Speed – Logon to a ThinManager PC – Open ThinManger – Ready Set GO
• En$re system at your command
Display / Terminal Servers
• Mirrored & redundant – Enable and disable to “swap” terminals – Perform maintenance
• Windows updates • SoRware maintenance • Etc.
Terminal Informa$on
What am I? How am I doing?
Terminal Management
• Manage your terminals with a few clicks
• Colors and Icons allow you to follow the process
Terminal Reconfigura$on
• Double Click to Reconfigure
• Wizards guide you – Op$ons for every need – Schedules – Display – Monitors – Modules – So much more
Shadow -‐ What’s going on?
Win TMC for Maintenance
• Run PLC Programming and HMI on the same hardware.
• Save – Space – $$$
• Add 2nd monitor for an excellent trouble-‐shoo$ng sta$on
RDS Session Management
• Control sessions by server
Maintenance Summary
• Speed – Time = Money – Do More With Less – TermSecure – Any terminal can be a “maintenance pc”
• Accuracy – Do it right the first $me
• Up-‐Time – With mirrored and redundant systems, force the session to another
server – Zero to lidle down$me upgrades
• Infrastructure – Makes future projects faster and cheaper – No PC to setup, updates, group policies, an$virus , etc. Can save days
per terminal. – Long life Thin Clients, simple replacement procedure.
Amplify -‐ Leverage Physical
• Thin clients have l o n g lifespans – Some @ our customers are running 10 years + – Upgrading IT hardware generally has no affect
• One Device, Many Func$ons – Mul$ Monitor – Win TMC
• Reduce Network Burden (RDS) – Keep your exis$ng switches around longer – Many plants s$ll have some 10MB switches/hubs
Amplify – One Device Many Uses
• Display Clients – More than just HMI – ERP Interfaces (SAP, Oracle) – Custom Applica$ons – Report Portals, Dashboards, Historian Clients – MES screens – Windows Desktop – Office applica$ons
• Mul$ monitor – Display more
Display Clients
• Simple & effec$ve mul$-‐tasking • Simple to implement & maintain
Display Clients -‐ More than HMI
• Encapsulate any applica$on. Even the old stuff
Display Clients -‐ More than HMI
• Encapsulate any applica$on. And the new stuff
Tiling on a mul$-‐use sta$on
• Get to it • 1 Click • 1 Touch.
Amplify – Term Secure
• For the administrators and developers – Fix problems – Make improvements – Administer the system From any terminal
• For the technician & maintenance – Special troubleshoo$ng display clients – Access to the resources required to keep the facility running • AutoCad Viewer display
– CMMS displays
Amplify Summary
• Do more with less – One terminal can take the place of many PC’s
– Green ini$a$ves • Maximize your investment – Buy one set of sta$on furniture – Minimize floor space
• Peripherals are inexpensive – Compared to Value
Empower – Users/Operators
• Mistake proof the worksta$on – Only what they need – Easily accessed
• Keep running – Mirrored and redundant systems – Take technology headaches out of the Job descrip$on
• Relevance – The right applica$on at the right place
Empower – Technicians / Managers
• WinTMC – Leverage the PC in their office – Bring the plant floor to their desktop – No applica$on off limits
• Term Secure – Applica$ons when & where they need it
• Relevance – The right applica$on at the right place.
• Time is money
Empower -‐ Administrators
• TermSecure – Every terminal in the plant is your office.
• Ability to witness by shadowing • Maintain sessions & hardware together • Easily Expand – Add Cameras – Add Relevance – Add Display Clients
The Real Benefits
• Properly Installed and Configured, ACP Thin Manager greatly improves your ability to: – Go home at night
• Reasonable Time – Sleep soundly
• All night long – Focus efforts on improvements
• These statements are independent of other chaos present in life.
In the 15+ years we have implemented ACP, no customer has ever asked to remove it. Any Ques$ons?
