What is FactoryStudio?


Unlimited

FactoryStudio is a 100% .NET managed code application, allowing users to leverage and take advantage of the full potential of current technologies.

Flexible

FactoryStudio was architected from a “green field” and was created entirely without the employment of any legacy code; that made it possible to create a system simple to use and powerful. Projects can scale from local embedded devices and mobile applications up to very large, distributed, high performance fault-tolerant systems.

Complete

FactoryStudio is a complete solution, all modules included. Its standard features include: real-time tags and assets database, user templates, alarms and events, historian, SQL tables and queries, recipes, XML, CSV, XPS and PDF reports, built-in embedded SQL database engine and web server, scripting, scheduling, OPC server and client, native communication protocols, graphical designer, delivering user interface displays accessible from desktops, remote smart clients, web browsers and native iOS app on iPads and iPhones.

The FactoryStudio Platform

The FactoryStudio platform provides a single engineering environment which helps customers get the most out of their systems by providing the richest experience in leveraging data from a variety of runtime environments and mobile devices. 

iOS and Android support

FactoryStudio users have access to all mobile resources like cameras, to use as barcode scanners for electronic input of data, helping to reduce operator errors and maintaining corporate standards. GPS information is accessible from any iOS or Android device which helps verify location coordinates of the users and mobile corporate assets.

Windows Embedded Compact

With FactoryStudio Compact Framework, you now have a modern fourth-generation toolset to build applications that leverage lower- cost runtime environments to their fullest potential. System Integrators, Panel Builders, as well as OEMs now have a state-of-the-art, yet low-cost, solution to quickly deploy their applications in any kind of device powered by Windows Embedded Compact (Windoes CE).

Linux and Raspberry Pi (rPi)

Machine and device builders have made Raspberry Pi (rPi) a fast growing popular device and environment for systems requiring lower resources than typical industrial grade systems. The same FactoryStudio that creates enterprise-class projects can be used to develop lightweight projects to run on rPi devices.

Applications

Tip
titleImplement custom solutions

Applications delivered with FactoryStudio range from a couple hundred to more than one hundred thousand communication points. 


Process Control & Data Aggregation

Process control stations require reliable server components and dedicated rich displays, so the security can be enforced and you have access to the full power of the computer. FactoryStudio has the complete set of functionality to implement distributed mission critical process control applications.

Mobile Native Applications

A native application provides functionality and a quality of user interface that a web page just can’t match. FactoryStudio allows the same displays created for desktops to also be available to run natively on iOS devices. 


SCADA, HMI and PIMS

FactoryStudio has the full spectrum of expected SCADA functionality and goes beyond, extending the real-time database concept towards IT systems, including objects such as data structures, dynamic arrays and images, time events, data tables, all with a tight connection with .NET languages for calculation engines and custom logics. 

HMI, Embedded and OEMs

FactoryStudio has a wide range of built-in PLC protocols and a special version for HMI and embedded systems. The version control system, small footprint and remote access make FactoryStudio the best choice for machine builders and other OEMs. 


Performance Monitoring and BI

The ability to create a presentation layer that is source independent and cloud-ready, the support for automation protocols and IT network management protocols, the .NET integration, all make Factory Studio an excellent tool to create operational dashboards.

SQL and PI Systems Front-end

FactoryStudio has many features to manage SQL Databases, tables and queries in real time. It also has SDK-level data synchronization with OSIsoft PI System(tm) and PI AF(tm). That makes it the number one platform when you need to create custom dynamic graphics and front-end custom user interfaces to those systems.
