Overview:
InstantHMI is your multi-platform HMI solution implementing our vision of a ‘Design Once, Deploy Anywhere’ new generation HMI Technology for Windows PC, Windows CE, PDA (Pocket PC and Palm OS) and Smart Phone  Platforms. The new InstantHMI architecture was first implemented in 1999 for PDAs (Palm and Pocket PC), and subsequently functional differences between the two PDA-OS implementations were, for all practical purposes, eliminated. Our legacy HMI technology (OI-2000) continued to support Windows PC platforms. InstantHMI is platform scalable and can be deployed on Windows PC, Windows CE, PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS) and Smart Phone. InstantHMI supercedes our legacy OI-2000 for Windows PC.
