Engineering Software: Best Practices To Improve Usability And Maximize Efficiency
December 12, 2011
In today's challenging economic environment, businesses are searching for ways to optimize engineering processes to boost efficiency and reduce costs. More specifically, engineers realize that engineering tools that help lower automation lifecycle costs and maximize productivity can differentiate their companies and make them more competitive.
Engineering software can be a major step toward achieving these goals. Improved usability through intuitive user interface, efficient navigation and the use of innovative new technologies can optimize the development, installation and commissioning of automation systems – saving you engineering time and money.
Join us for a free 45-minute educational webinar on best practices in usability for engineering software, presented by Colm Gavin, Siemens Industry. See firsthand how improved usability can boost efficiency, lower costs and maximize productivity – on a machine and across a plant.
Key usability topics to be discussed:
- Integration - Improve productivity through integration and configuration of multiple devices (PLCs, HMIs & Drives) in a single intuitive graphical editor.
- Libraries – Utilize Libraries to reuse frequently used parts of a project, such as Program Blocks, Tags, HMI screens, I/O modules or complete stations.
- Programming Editors – Leverage powerful IEC programming editors with drag & drop, project-wide cross reference and intelligence for efficient engineering.
- Data Consistency – Increase efficiency through tags that can be accessed and changed from any editor.
- Scalability – Utilize scalability to change devices without losing any of your work.
