Optimization and Advanced Control Presentation Printout

Whether you are at the plant, front office, home, or on the road,
the Trident Workbench provides its users a central unified web
interface to review key data collection and reporting systems.
Use it to review stunning user configured dashboards with realtime
updates, run reports, or enter and analyze data from a
single location. The Trident Workbench provides the extensibility
you need to better operate your plant using information available
from a number of your own systems at a cost far below its
competition. If our existing modules below don’t fit your needs,
then let us build extensions to our suite to fulfill your business
needs.

Trident Automation is pleased to announce several HMI enhancements for both InSight HMI and InVision HMI users. These added features were added to facilitate better alarm management, more in depth analysis of your process, comprehensive controller diagnostics, and messaging between client stations.
