Six essential characteristics of an OPC development toolkit
Don't buy an OPC client development toolkit until you have established whether it meets these six essential criteria:

Are you getting runtime free distribution rights?
OPCWare Client Developer can be used to create custom HMI/SCADA applications with runtime free distribution, as a cost effective fully customisable alternative to configurable and proprietary HMI/SCADA/Historian packages

Does it provide several free sample applications?
OPCWare Client Developer includes sample programs, and it's ease of use result in reduced application development time

Does it include an optional built-in GUI to cut development time?
The ready to use built-in user interface of OPCWare Client Developer will save developers weeks of development time in setting up GUIs

Does it support your current and future development environments?
OPCWare Client Developer is fully tested and supported with a variety of Integrated Development Environments so you don’t need to buy a different tool for each, and you can obtain technical support from a single source

Does it protect you from the low-level details of OPC interfaces?
With OPCWare Client Developer, it is normal to develop applications that leverage the benefits of OPC (OLE for Process Control), with little or no requirement for an understanding of the details of OPC interfaces or technology, so you don't have to climb the learning curve, instead you can focus your time and efforts on your own value adding activities such as logging OPC data for later analysis

Is it based upon open standards with expert support?
OPCWare Client Developer is 100% based on ActiveX and OPC, both of which are open software standards, which means you can use the toolkit to easily integrate and take control of your own systems, but you always have the option of using the services of our engineers to support your development efforts

Use OPCWare with VB, Excel, Delphi, .NET and more

So who uses OPCWare Client Developer?
Are you an OEM, system integrator, IT or automation professional delivering process support and automation solutions in the process and manufacturing industries?

Is your preferred development tool Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, ASP, VB.NET, C#.NET, VBA (Excel, Access), Labview or another ActiveX container?

Do you prefer to work with companies who have a reputation for outstanding customer service?

Do you need to connect your PC computers to your controllers, devices, processes and applications in an open and productive way?

Does your existing HMI or SCADA application simply not deliver the functionality you or your end users need?

Do you need a cost effective MMI solution to interface with, monitor and control your PLC networks?

Are you supporting legacy applications that use outdated technologies such as DDE, or custom drivers that won't share device access with other applications?

Do you find that you cannot provide access to the data your end users are demanding from their process controllers and devices?

Have you just about given up on ever trending, reporting, monitoring or logging this apparently inaccessible process data?

If you answer yes to any of the above, then chances are your applications need an OPC interface and you should be using OPCWare. Many of our existing customers have already faced the same challenges as you, and have overcome them with the help of OPCWare.
