We have an application where the system requires a wireless portable HMI for maintenance troubleshooting. Adding FT View / ViewPoint servers are overkill for this application so we are hoping there exists suitable hardware that could perhaps run FT ME directly. The portable HMI is required to only allow a subset of the functionality of the main HMI so using a VNC connection to the main HMI is not an option.
Looking for a solution for a Wireless Mobile FactoryTalk ME Tablet

You can run an FT View ME Station runtime on a rugged portable tablet PC. You can cut down the existing HMI functions into a new application to run on these portable tablets.
These should be suitable:

Good suggestions. I'm sure that FactoryTalk ME is not officially supported on Windows 8/10 but has anyone tried it with any success?

FT View ME 8.20 officially supports Windows 8.1.
I've heard rumours version 8.30 coming out later this year will support Windows 10.

Check this product out. There's versions with built in web-server. They support a bazzilion protocols and can do data-logging and write to SQL as well. There are also cellular products to compliment the base product.
Good Luck,

You can remotely connect to a running ftview hmi if you compile it with viewpoint.
You just need a browser and the IP of the machine hosting the running project.
That way you dont need special hardware but you need it running somewhere else.
If you use a panelview for the main HMI, you could also enable the VNC server.
