I work for a company in the food industry, we are currently using a Siemens 19" thin client with WEB protocols for interaction with our Ignition and ultimately our PLC (ControlLogix). I’m looking to get away from Siemens products, and would like some recommendations for optional thin clients. Can anyone assist?

We can put these together for the same price or less than an equivalent Allen Bradley or Siemens HMI. They are well put together and look great on the shop floor.
