ThinManager provides unprecedented control and security in a sustainable and scalable platform. ThinManager's thin client architecture allows for deployment of centrally managed, low-cost hardware while securely delivering the applications and tools familiar to your users.

ThinManager works with a variety of industrial and commercial thin clients and peripheral devices from multiple vendors. Easily integrate both ThinManager Ready thin clients and PXE booted terminals into your ThinManager architecture. Thin client terminals can be mixed and matched to meet your visualization requirements.

ThinManager is the global leader in the automation industry, providing full-feature centralized thin client and remote desktop server management. Our unique software platform offers secure, centralized visualization and content delivery management solutions for modern industrial environments.

The ThinManager Platform greatly increases the value of Advantech thin client hardware by extending the manageability of the end user device. By purchasing ThinManager-Ready Advantech hardware, users will save a tremendous amount of time managing their thin clients all-the-while gaining superior control over how the thin client can be used.

ThinManager allows the monitoring of the thin client from a central (or remote) location. ThinManager shows what thin clients are operating, what terminal servers they are assigned to, whether they are logged in, and even what applications they are running.

ThinManager Ready thin clients are more reliable due to the lack of a hard drive or other moving parts and can be replaced with a single click, while a PC or fat client requires hours of installation and configuration.

ThinManager provides the ability to control and manage thin clients from any location while letting you monitor its status, change configurations, reboot the thin client, disable or enable the thin client, or shadow the thin client from a central location. You can connect and manage a remote ThinManager and thin clients from a local ThinManager if you have the right credentials.

Select Advantech ThinManager Ready thin clients are available with multiple video ports, allowing up to five monitors to be connected to one thin client. These monitors can run individual sessions or can be configured to merge into double-wide and triple-wide sessions.

Our thin clients exclusively integrate with ThinManager software and are ideal for ThinManager distributed applications. The thin clients are used to display content delivered from a remote ThinManager server. You can have multiple thin clients set up across your plant or facility with various roles with the convenience of having them all maintained by the ThinManager server. All content remains on the server so downtime is reduced in the event of a failure. The ThinManager-ready BIOS also comes preinstalled in the ASEM 6300B and 6300P industrial computers allowing you to take a new computer out of the box and place it directly into your ThinManager environment.

This article covers hardware that is supported by ThinManager Packages 5 and later. ThinManager Ready thin clients have the ACP BIOS pre-loaded onto the device and can download firmware directly from ThinManager after the ThinManager Server IP(s) are specified.

ThinManager XLi Compatible Thin Clients are units that PXE Boot from ThinManager. For further information on PXE Booting, see the ThinManager and PXE Boot Article. The compatibility list contains hardware that has been functionally tested by ACP.

XLi Compatible Plus units are functionally the same as XLi Compatible Units with the exception that they are specifically listed in the ThinManager TermCap to overcome hardware specific compatibility issues. Units listed in this section should not be booted as Generic/PXE, but rather they will be listed under their respective Manufacturer's List in the Terminal Configuration Wizard.

XLi Compatible thin clients listed here have been tested to work with ThinManager. These units should be configured as Generic/PXE in the Terminal Configuration Wizard. These units have been tested for ThinManager functionality by the hardware manufacturer.

Note: This is a list of early non-industrial touch screens that were added as a list because they were new to configuration in ThinManager 6. It is not an exclusive list and most single-touch USB touch screens work with a standard configuration of the USB Touch Screen Driver module.

Manufacturing operations at times get stuck due to IT setup; this often leads to downtime and waste of resources. Thin client technology is developed to resolve such conflicts and provide a mature approach for processes to be conducted efficiently. They reduce overall hardware issues with an improved response time. Moreover, its installation is quite simple and does not interfere with existing work processes. With a thin client surroundings, users can work in a collaborative environment with remote sharing and centralized access to information.

Thin clients eliminate the stress of setting up a full-fledged workstation. Since all the computing is done on servers, machines do not require much energy to operate. This contributes to an overall cost reduction. Moreover, thin clients are very easy to integrate into almost every application or business process and do not require additional training.

With a thin client set-up only software-level protection is required, security is required on the server level since entire data is stored on it. Additional heavy-duty security is not required for workstations and other devices. This significantly reduces the effort and time required in setting up workstations and working with every single machine in case of downtime.

Thin clients can be integrated into almost every industry, areas like manufacturing, healthcare, or finance which needs utmost accuracy can rely on the thin client without any second thoughts. With several functionalities involving customization, users have improved and high-end performance at all levels.
