Tradtional systems pose slow (software) application development which leads to long time to market and high costs.
Existing development tools are not suitable for use of modern software development approaches and technologies in industrial automation.
Limited possibilities of standardization, componentization in existing development tools.
IT-like engineering with SIMATIC AX Logic Control Engineering (LCE)
Siemens showed forward thinking mindset bringing modern software development approaches to industrial automation.
SIMATIC AX LCE provides native source control (via git), a unit testing framework, CI/CD, package and dependency management, as well as an API first approach to easily adapt it to your needs.
SIMATIC AX LCE is a combines the benefits of modern software development with proven automation tools to be a key enabler for true transformation of how we think about programming in industrial automation (paradigm shift to Developer Operations for Automation).
