    What is FactoryStudio?

FactoryStudio is a powerful platform to develop and deliver applications managing real-time information, providing a complete set of modules in a unified and intuitive engineering user interface.

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. FactoryStudio also aims to provide a unified complete solution, so the users don't have to build puzzles before starting their projects. The unified design from the ground up enables you to create a very flexible system, yet maintaining the easy to use and intuitive design. 

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. 

FactoryStudio platform provides:

  • Hardware independence, the same product installs on different versions of Windows and includes the communication interfaces to the market equipment and industrial protocols. Projects can be deployed to run on Windows or Linux operating systems.

  • Friendly and collaborative engineering, facilitating the life of the developer, offers a new multi-user and multi-project environment with resource optimization for editing and running multiple simultaneous projects

  • Ease of management of projects and improved security, with the project saved in one single file, organized by SQL tables in an encrypted database.

  • Smart tag editing: advanced types, templates with hierarchy, arrays, categories, intelisense for editing, cross-reference, and other unique features allow the creation of powerful data models with quick configuration.

  • Vector graphical Interface:  WPF designer tools delivers visually impactful user experience, with resolution independence, and publishing pages for rich clients,  .NET click-once thin clients, HTML5 pages, mobile and iOS native app.

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.
