About this Webinar

You probably know that SQL databases are great for storing data, but did you know that the power of SQL can dramatically improve your HMI development? In fact, there are many powerful ways to use SQL databases in conjunction with your HMI/SCADA system.

In this "Design Like a Pro" webinar, learn how to supercharge your HMI/SCADA system by leveraging the power of SQL databases to accomplish tasks that simply couldn’t be done otherwise.

Expert HMI/SCADA project developer Kevin McClusky of Inductive Automation will explain and demonstrate creative ways to use SQL databases and HMI/SCADA together, including:

  • Building dynamic HMIs
  • Document storage (manuals, SOPs, instructions, etc.)
  • Electronic records instead of paper
  • Inventories and lists
  • Operator notes and feedback
  • Adding Wikis in your HMI
