Plant Data Collection Terminals

We're running Data Collection through Terminal Server on Win 00. Not using
bar code readers, but TS is working fine for us.

Subject: [Vantage] Plant Data Collection Terminals

Hi All,



We are investigating our options for plant floor data collection terminals
and would appreciate any advice / experience from the group.



We are thinking of running Vantage through Terminal Server Sessions, on a
thin client (diskless workstation) booting from server.

Thin client would run either Embedded XP or Linux as the OS. Also,
workstations would have bar code readers.



Thanks in advance.
