Using ThinManager to Drive a Cutting Edge Facility

 

Third Evolution Inc. 

For years, businesses and governments have been talking more and more about the environmental impact of modern industrial manufacturing processes and the costs associated with conventional energy sources such as coal and oil.  That combined with the projected increase in fossil fuel consumption in countries such as China and India has lead to a resurgence of new investment and research in the renewable energy commercialization sector.

Robert Maxfield, the Vice President and Control System Architect of Third Evolution, recently got to see just how cutting edge companies can be in this sector while deploying ThinManager in a new state of the art facility specializing in Biomethane capture and processing.  “Our client originally came to us wanting to implement a Citrix XenDesktop thin client architecture into one of their existing facilities.  Having worked with it before, I knew that ThinManager was much easier to deploy and operate as well as offering greater management capabilities, so I offered to show them proof of concept of our proposed architecture using Wonderware InTouch and ThinManager instead.  After seeing it in person, they were sold.” [...]

MultiMonitor – Created By ACP, Driven by Arista

Tom Jordan

Almost fourteen years ago, ACP released ThinManager as a centralized management solution for the modern factory.  Since then, ThinManager has evolved into a complete platform that manages clients and their connections to servers, as well as a myriad of applications and visual resources.  While most of the evolution of ThinManager can be attributed to a handful of dedicated programmers and the vision of CEO Matt Crandell, the impetus for most of the features has come from the changing needs of ThinManager end users.  Most notably, is MultiMonitor, one of the most used and most versatile of the wide range of ThinManager Platform features.

ACP Adds “Tips & Gems” Video Series

Tom Jordan

Last month, we published the transcript of the “Developers Roundtable Discussion,” which was the most popular and highest attended session at our annual TMUG (ThinManager Users Group) Conference.  Every year, attendees have the opportunity to pose questions to our developers and share the answers they receive with other end users around the world.  This year, however, we expanded on this event and added a new segment simply titled “Tips & Gems.”

Presented by Tim Caine (Chief Technology Officer) and Paul Burns (Director of Education), this new segment was spawned by the desire to give end users answers to many of the questions posed to our developers over the years and simply explain the full range of ThinManager’s flexibility and functionality beyond its basic features.  “Tips & Gems contains a lot of little known features that most users aren’t aware of,” said Tim.  “Over the years we have nuanced and added functionality to existing features based on customer feedback and ideas we had during the development process.” [...]
