Relevance® Mobility Solution• Mobile devices are managed exactly the same way as thin clients in
ThinManager®.
• Each Location can be assigned content as well as a Location Resolver.
• QR Codes
• Bluetooth Beacons
• Wi-Fi Access Points
• GPS
• Location content can be geo-fenced to physically limit where the content
can be accessed.
• Example: QR Code on PLC panel is scanned by mobile device and an
instance of Studio 5000 Logix Designer® is delivered to the tablet with
the correct ACD file automatically opened.

Benefits of the ThinManager Platform
Total Cost of Ownership. ThinManager®…
Increases productivity (centrally manage content, users and devices with a
simple easy-to-use interface)
Improves visualization (customize multiple monitors and virtual screens)
Increases security (no locally stored data, content delivered based on role and/or
location)
Provides location-based mobility (exclusive mobile security)
Decreases maintenance costs and downtimePRODUCTIVTY VISUALIZATION SECURITY MOBILITY
PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 21Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED
Managed Thin Client Benefits
Lower total cost of ownership than PCs over the lifetime of the system:
Less likely to fail because they don’t have hard drives or fans
Easier to replace when they do fail, significantly reducing downtime
Smaller and require less power to operate and cool
Fewer client operating systems to manage
More secure:
No local storage – nothing is stored on device
Can eliminate the Windows desktop
USB ports are disabled by default for everything except and keyboards/mice

Positioning
ThinManager® is purpose-built. It is a content and device management solution
that is designed specifically for manufacturing environments
ThinManager is an OT-centric solution
Reliance on IT is reduced allowing the critical plant floor content to be owned
and managed by engineering and maintenance
ThinManager is simple to deploy and manage
ThinManager is the only end-to-end solution that manages everything from the
server side, down to the client itself
ThinManager offers flexible content management, delivery and visualization
options that are unique to the product

CLIENT CONNECTIONS
Sold in packs of 5, 10 or 25.
ENTERPRISE SERVER
Sold by ThinServer™ installs.
Client Connections are unlimited.
How Is It Licensed?
ThinManager® Also Offers Redundant Licensing Options to Ensure High Availability.
PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 27Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED
Other Licensing Considerations
Remote Desktop Client Access Licenses (RDSCALs)
There are 2 types available:1. Per User – each unique user session requires an RDSCAL
2. Per Device – each device receiving a session requires an RDSCAL
Per device is generally more suitable for ThinManager®
deployments
FactoryTalk® Licensing
Currently, every remote desktop server session delivering a FactoryTalk client application requires a separate FactoryTalk client license
