What is Wonderware?

HMI the hard and extremely expensive way

Wonderware is a brand of industrial software used for supervisory control, data acquisition (SCADA), and human–machine interface (HMI) applications in industrial automation.

Here’s a breakdown:

🔹 Purpose: Wonderware software allows operators and engineers to monitor, control, and analyze industrial processes in real time — such as manufacturing, water treatment, energy systems, and more.

🔹 Core Products:

InTouch HMI – One of the most popular HMI/SCADA systems; provides graphical interfaces for operators to interact with machines and processes.

System Platform (formerly ArchestrA Platform) – A scalable industrial software architecture for integrating multiple systems, devices, and applications across a plant or enterprise.

Historian – A high-performance industrial database designed to collect and store time-series process data for analysis and reporting.
