The 90-day licences will be available to the 20,000 automation software customers that use GE’s iFix and Cimplicity products. GE Digital is offering free Web-based remote monitoring and control licences to users of its industrial HMI/Scada software, allowing them to work remotely to ensure business continuity if they having to work from home as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
