customer need

Our client had access to a wealth of data on their surface and subsurface environments, but it was only accessible through their Human-Machine Interface (HMI). They needed a more flexible solution that could handle multiple data streams and object-oriented control logic in a graphical format. To address this need, they turned to Softdel for help in developing a web-based version of their HMI. This new solution can be used by anyone, including engineers, geologists, and business owners, on any device.
