Modernization and Cross-Platform Upgrade of Remote Panel Visualization Software

The client’s existing Remote Panel software, serving as a Human-Machine Interface (HMI), is built on outdated Windows CE technology and lacks compatibility with modern hardware and operating systems such as Windows and Linux. This limits hardware flexibility, hampers user experience, and constrains system scalability and maintenance. The client seeks to upgrade the software to modern frameworks that support a wider range of devices, improve visualization, and streamline deployment with minimal engineering effort.
