JONATHAN GAINES
What’s New?
Intouch OMI for adaptive displays

Object Wizards and visual build

Improved deployment speed and efficiency

Prometheus for PLC code management

Historian and Intouch HMI improvements

01 Intouch OMI – a new HMI client
Improving simplicity and efficiency
No HMI software to install!

Lightweight deployments.

More efficient code design

makes it faster than ever!

Support for multiple instances

across multiple monitors. (up to
50 displays with 4k resolution)
Improving simplicity and efficiency
Rendering performance.

50.000 Elements
No Caching
1-2 seconds

Multi Core processing

Flexibility and no forced migration
Leverages existing Archestra Symbols

True Resolution Independence

Can co-exist with Intouch Applications

Existing galaxies are unaffected

Built with latest Microsoft Technology

(Windows Presentation Foundation)
02 Display Profiles
Contemporary User Interactions/Devices

Who? What? Where?

Profiles allow adaptation to the target display
Display profiles allow for various targets
• Video Walls
• Operator Workstations
• Panel Displays
• Smart Phones
• Tablets

ViewApps leverage profiles to

adapt automatically
Different Profiles for Different Displays
03 Layout Designer for
Adaptive Displays
Layouts, Panes and Content
Layouts are collections of
panes arranged in a particular
configuration.

Panes host content in the form

of Archestra Symbols or Apps.

Panes and Archestra Symbols

can be associated using
content types.

Multi-Touch Support
Bringing the HMI experience
closer to what people expect
from their mobile devices.

Swipe Navigation, Pinch to

Zoom, Detail on Zoom,
multi-touch, etc.
Expanded symbol library
includes touch focused
user input graphics.
06 Apps for Intouch OMI
Increased Scope through an Open Interface
Built on Microsoft WPF standard
Continually growing library of existing Apps
• Maps
• Navigation
• Cameras
• Alarm Advisor
• Recipe Manager Plus

App SDK allows third party development

• Cameras, VFDs, data services, specialty apps…
Easily dropped in to ViewApp Panes

The Solution… Object Wizards
Wizards make object polymorphic, dynamically
configuring attributes, scripts and graphics based on
“check box” settings.

Senior engineers design templates and build object

wizards.

Junior engineers create instances and complete object

wizards.
