User interface (www.computer-automation.de)
Browser-based versus native
Since the introduction of HTML5, browser-based solutions have been making increasing inroads into the market for industrial applications. However, native applications simply make more sense in some areas. Decision-makers therefore need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches.
