"To use an automotive analogy, we know that our customers are in an on-going race against the competition to improve efficiency and product quality and increase profits.
We help our customers win the race by offering an integrated race team of FactorySuite A2 products and a formidable Industrial Application Server race car, all driven by the powerful, state-of-the-art engine - the ArchestrA software architecture".
The interactive test drive shows participants how to set up and install a system network, create supervisory control applications and re-use templates for a plant-centric, modular approach to application development.
With the Industrial Application Server, new applications are easily assembled from a library of standard, reusable components, or objects, without writing or compiling new code.
The online ArchestrA technology test drive can be completed at user pace during multiple login sessions.
A series of five test drive modules illustrates how simple it is to create a system network and configure an entire plant application model using ArchestrA technology.
Test drivers also learn how to modify and maintain applications with built-in change management and remote software distribution facilities.
"The ArchestrA test drive clearly demonstrates how ArchestrA technology puts the 'engine' back into your engineering toolset for unprecedented levels of personnel productivity," Davidson said.
"And one of the best things about this software is that it already works with virtually all of the systems and networks that are installed in customer plants by utilising a broad set of standard connectivity tools, including greater than 1,000 I/O Servers, OPC Servers and DataAccess Servers.".
