Sorry , I really could not come up with the words to search this.
We have a kiln that runs 24 / 7 and we have transfer cars that transport cars to feed this kiln. We have employees that are here , in some ways , just to oversee this operation. We very rarly have a problem, so I don't see a real need, at times, to have someone here. I was wondering how reliable it would be to have an remote HMI on a Blackberry , I-Phone , etc.and be able to monitor the operation , and if a problem would happen , I can simply call a maintenance man that would be on call for that weekend.
Have any of you had success with this , and what methods have you used? What is the easiest brand you have used to accomplish this? How difficult is it to setup?
I took notice that Automation Direct has a remote I-Phone app with C-More. Are any of you using that , and how is it working?
Thanks in advance , and have a Merry Christmas.
