Web Technology

FlowChief software products are entirely designed in pure web technology and developed for the operation in a web browser - from the start. This is why we use web standards such as HTML5, CSS, JavaScript oder SVG. No matter if control, workspace, mobile notebook, tablet pc or smartpone - all connect without further installation of the app in the intranet, private cloud or secure internet. Your FlowChief system is accessible from anywhere in the world and not limited to visualization, only. 100% web means to us: Entire functionality in the visualization, charts, alertings, dashboard, reports and engineering.

Web technology in engineering

The user does not use the web browser solely for the operation. Also engineering is performed there. A well thought through Rights Management enables the user to switch seemless between functions of engineering and user interface. Therefor data model, settings, maintenance or reports can easily be configured. As soon as the user has been assigned with the required rights, he can switch to the configuration. The creation of the visualization is performed with a secure https connection to the central FlowChief application.

• Simple and flexible engineering

• Communication between client and server exclusively via https, also in engineering

• Individual rights management for each module
