Hoping to get some suggestions from the crowd regarding a software we can use to create good looking dashboards that gets data from PLCs.
Here is what we have tried:
Thingsworx and Ignition, both of these platform's licensing structure is too much for our end client.
Thingsboard, the price is right, but seems to be still a working in process platform. Running into a lot of bugs and getting it to talk modbus to the PLCs have been not a smooth process.
What we are looking for in terms of platform:
- Ability to quickly and easily communicate with PLC
- Trending and Reporting functionalities.
