FactoryPMI 1.5.1 Released
Inductive Automation releases FactoryPMI 1.5.1 Additions include a streaming video viewing component and a built-in high performance SQL Server database driver.
01/28/2006 - Inductive Automation announces the release of FactoryPMI version 1.5.1. The two main additions in this version are a streaming video viewing component and a built-in high performance Microsoft SQL Server database driver.

Streaming video can be an extremely useful addition to an HMI/SCADA application, allowing real visual feedback of machines and conditions in areas that are inaccessible or very remote. FactoryPMI now has the ability to display streaming IP-based video directly in your projects.

Microsoft SQL Server's high performance makes it great database choice for large FactoryPMI & FactorySQL installations. We find that many industrial IT departments are already familiar with it, which also makes it a strong candidate. Connecting to a SQL Server database is now a snap thanks to the new driver included in FactoryPMI.

Existing users are free to download the upgrade from the Downloads section.
