AVEVA (formerly Wonderware, now part of Schneider Electric) has been a dominant force in industrial software for over 30 years. Their products — InTouch HMI, System Platform, Historian, MES, and the newer AVEVA PI System (from the OSIsoft acquisition) — run in thousands of manufacturing plants worldwide.
