technology. This makes it simple to enable
remote access to field applications with
guaranteed performance and cross-
platform integration. Furthermore we
are increasingly seeing dedicated apps
specifically designed for smartphones and
tablets, making it even easier to securely
control and monitor plants and processes
over the web.
Database flexibility is becoming
increasingly important in SCADA
applications, and next generation products
will use their own virtual file system (VFS)
to render applications independent from
persistent data models. This gives
users the capability and flexibility to
connect to relational databases, use
cloud computing or use standard XML
files on disk for historical logging and
archiving process or project data.
From an operator interaction perspective,
perhaps some of the most important
developments are in the visualisation
