Workbench provides a comprehensive mechanism for router configuration and allows the creation and customization of user interfaces for router control.

The system is flexible and scalable, and can accommodate a single router control panel running on a PC, through to large and powerful installations using dual redundant control across many sites. By downloading all relevant data from the database on power up, clients (PCs) and device drivers can operate independently if connection to the database is lost.

Workbench operates in a client server configuration using standard TCP/IP network protocols, allowing easy integration into existing network infrastructures.

If required, device drivers can use an embedded, hot swappable controller with dual redundant power and running a real time operating system. This combination offers the ultimate in resilient design.

Individual logins provide access to specific screens, defined by the users login or role, meaning each operator or job function can have dedicated screens for the task in hand.

A powerful design tool allows screens to literally be drawn for any style of user interface. Every aspect of the user interface can be customized allowing screens to range from clear and functional to more radical designs for the artistically creative.
