Challenge
With different toolsets, processes, systems and workflows, machines are becoming more complex. Automating engineering tasks across your shop floor can be difficult and time consuming. Tasks are often done manually and involve error-prone engineering workflows. Older systems make challenging to retain young talent who want innovative and updated working environments.

Solution
This solution enables you to automate engineering workflows, so you can have a common data background across systems. Work like IT software development and implement a document-based integration strategy using the same assets in development, testing and production.

Enable automation engineering at the speed of software

Enable a fully automated design-to-manufacturing process, leveraging a common data backbone that integrates PLM and Automation Lifecycle Management. Seamless integration between virtual and real worlds accelerates innovation and enhances efficiency.

Get started with a solution that empowers you to:

1. Create identical assets

Use the same assets in development, testing and production

The asset you run on your shop floor is the exact same as the one you just tested simulated or virtually tested.
