Maximum efficiency and flexibility through Automation Framework

Automation Framework provides the flexible framework that was missing to date for applications in the automation sector. Based on Microsoft .NET, it provides a standardized engineering model for all tools, thus an integrated data management of the associated tools is guaranteed.

Provision of the basic functionalities and further packages

The basic technology for each software based on Automation Framework is provided by the Automation Framework components 'Component Framework', 'IDE' and 'ObjectStore'.

Consistent and common data management...

... for all tools included in the framework: The data management of each integrated tool is undertaken by the Automation Framework and executed by Automation Framework mechanisms.

Scalable applications

Automation Framework grows with your requirements as applications created with AF can be easily scaled via XML (configuration file).

Thanks to this configuration file, developers are able to easily scale different variants of a software for different user groups.

Rapid Prototyping

Fast and easily create your own prototype of your tool or suite - with preconfigured components or with the support of KW-Software when using Visual Studio...

FDT/DTM support

Automation Framework supports the FDT/DTM technology and thus simplifies the parameterization of different field devices.

Usage of catalogs

Automation modules are composed of objects which are derived from catalogs. This procedure is comparable to the usage of libraries.
