ADMINISTRATOR Deployment of FactoryLogix User Portal applications is typically done one of two ways: Direct installation on a user’s PC which can be done through a full installer or self-service via Microsoft’s ClickOnce technology. ClickOnce allows end users to deploy the applications from a hyperlink without the need for administrative privileges on their PC. Deployment on one or more Windows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Servers which then service end-users via a variety of thin client devices via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) including Chromebooks, Android tablets, iPads, and Windows devices. Android, Chromebook, Windows, and Apple iOS support RemoteApp technology, which allows FactoryLogix user portals to be run individually on these devices from a Windows RDS Server. Note Choose endpoint devices carefully to match the ergonomic needs of the particular work area. The following tables describe the requirements and considerations for both deployment scenarios. Item Description CPU type Intel® Xeon™ E- Family (E3/E5/E7) or newer or AMD equivalent. Intel Core i7, i9 if appropriate for number of cores. CPU cores 1 CPU core (2 hyper-threaded processors) per 5-7 users. System memory 4 GB Base for Operating System + 500MB/user. Networking 1,000 Mbps or better Ethernet System partition 100 GB System partition (RAID 1 or similar for fault tolerance) Operating system One of the following: Microsoft Windows Server x64 2016 or later with RDS role installed, and RDS Client Licenses per user/device as required. 3rd Party desktop virtualization and application delivery products, such as Citrix. Some virtual desktop platforms may require more memory if OS memory is not shared by multiple users. Prerequisites Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher Item Description RDP protocol RDP Version 8.0 minimum RDP Version 10.0 recommended for smooth video/animation Networking Reliable networking with minimum 20 Mbps bandwidth and < 100ms latency to FactoryLogix Application Server 100/1000 Ethernet or better WIFI 802.11 g / n / ac or better Operating system Any OS Supporting the RDP 8.0 or higher protocol. Apple iPad/IOS devices require Microsoft Remote Desktop app from Apple Store (free) Android/Chromebook devices require Microsoft Remote Desktop app from Google Play Store (free) Peripherals USB or Bluetooth support for keyboard, mouse, and barcode scanner as may be required at a particular factory floor station The following table describes system requirements broken down into two categories: Engineering workstations (NPI/DME and Analytics clients) Factory floor workstations (Production and Logistics clients) While Aegis always suggests using the recommended requirements, there are also minimum requirements for those expecting minimal use for less intensive CAD/Visual Aids.
