Subject: Looking for feedback on what epics users require

Hello,
 
My company is researching providing an epics IOC with some of our power supplies. I would like to get some feedback from the epics community on what exactly would be required. First let me start off by saying that epics is still a new area for me so hopefully these questions aren't dumb, we are still in the early research stages on this.
 
What we would like to do is provide a system with each device that will host an EPICS IOC. This will be a vxWorks based system running epics base 3.14. This system will communicate with our device using ethernet and convert standard UDP commands that our devices work on to process variables. So for example our clients would now have a process variable they could use to monitor or set the voltage of a power supply (IE: powersys:voltage).
 
For the client side we would like to develop a LabVIEW interface, we would most likely not be developing a custom C/C++ application for the client.
 
Would this be adequate for most epics users or would more be required to integrate this into an existing epics network? Would people use the LabVIEW client we develop or do most labs use their own custom software to control/monitor epics enabled equipment? Any feedback from the community would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
