Collaborative Software For Automation Design

To help reduce rework and improve collaboration in automation design projects, RSAutomation Desktop, a Windows 2000 or .NET-server-based application, acts as a central repository for control system design data. The program allows users to create and reuse logic, HMI, documentation, and other data types as templates from previous projects, helping reduce time to market and costs.

Multiple users can collaborate, share data, enforce standards, eliminate duplicate data entry, and automate tag creation for automation projects. Centralized data allows users to access personal views of the project from any workstation. The program can also help designers manage software applications and reduce integration testing time by eliminating tag mismatches and reusing pre-tested code.
