Famic Technologies ’ Automation Studio is a flexible software solution that can increase engineering productivity in all aspects of a product / project lifecycle and help organisations reduce unwanted costs . Training departments can benefit from the work previously done by engineers and create quality training material and documentation . Moreover , the technical drawings can be consulted in real-time by maintenance teams when failures occur to help identify their cause and propose an effective solution
lifecycle : system design , simulation , documentation , training , troubleshooting , etc .
Automation Studio™ , a unique machine-based software is an ideal tool to help increase
engineering productivity at all levels of a company . The software offers a complete set of pre-configured components which allows for the design and simulation of virtual machine systems based on various technologies – hydraulic , pneumatic , electrical and automation . This solution can also be used to produce project documentation and , with its additional troubleshooting module , it can help create diagnostic scenarios and train new employees , operators and maintenance teams .
For system modelling , each component can be sized to meet the design requirements and customised to include specific characteristics ,
performance curves , operation limits and embedded failures . To further accelerate the design process , engineers can integrate and assemble different pre-configured manufacturers ’ components packaged in catalogues to build complete systems . Automation Studio also helps engineers validate designs at an early stage by animating the circuit and analysing the system behaviour in simulation using different analysis tools – dynamic measuring instruments , plotters , data recorder , etc . Thus , the limits of the system can be tested to validate component choices and risk analysis can be performed by triggering component failures .
With the additional troubleshooting and HMI modules , a simulation training environment can quickly be created and added directly in an existing Automation Studio project containing the technical drawings . Operators and maintenance teams can gain a better understanding of the machine ’ s behaviour by simulating key operation modes . Failures can also be implemented in the virtual system to help trainees develop stronger troubleshooting skills by detecting failure causes , evaluating the severity of consequences and determining the best course of action to resolve the problem . This type of training environment will lead technicians and maintenance team to perform quicker diagnostics and troubleshooting in real-life , which will help reduce maintenance costs . IM
