Having skilled and seasoned software engineers on tap for PLC and HMI development is crucial for new projects and code conversion.
PLC and HMI software engineers are responsible for developing control system software for industrial automation applications. These systems are used to control and monitor machines, processes, and other equipment in a wide range of industries.
The biggest reason to have a team of experienced control system software engineers is that between them, they’ll have the necessary skills and knowledge to design many different control systems, in a structured and professional manner. They will understand the specific requirements of different industrial applications as well as different PLC manufacturers. OEMs and end-users alike need access to experienced engineers that can troubleshoot and debug control systems, that may have been developed many years ago, by engineers who have long since moved on.
The beauty of working with an established and advanced control systems integrator with a large team of engineers is the peer support and cross-fertilization of knowledge of different platforms, architectures, and processes. These engineers will have their designs peer-reviewed, simulation tested, and approved before deployment. Conversely, engineers who work in single-site, single-platform industries become limited in their capabilities across different projects.
Experienced control system engineers will have become exposed to techniques and methods which can optimize process performance. Furthermore, you can be sure that their systems will be up and running as quickly as possible, by using simulation techniques and testing to minimize commissioning time and risk.
In addition, versatile engineers can easily work on PLC code conversion or new projects. Meaning that projects will be completed on time and within budget. They are familiar with the best practices and the latest technology and can apply them to projects to achieve the best results.
And lastly, experienced engineers can help companies to comply with industry standards and regulations, which is essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of the systems.
