Industrial automation has become an essential pillar of productivity and efficiency in the manufacturing sector.
The importance of automation software in the industrial sector is well established. Today, they are widely used for their ability to control equipment and installations, and also for their ability to manage large amounts of data in complete security and reliability. Finally, they are also used to optimise the performance of production lines.
That’s why industrial automation software is now essential for integrators and equipment manufacturers.
However, in-house teams may encounter difficulties when integrating this industrial automation software because they do not necessarily have the specific expertise required.
That’s why it’s important to rely on qualified technical support to ensure that the software is properly integrated so that you can make full use of its features.
You will find here, in detail, the reasons why choosing an efficient technical support facilitates the integration phase of your industrial automation software.

Customised integration
The most advanced industrial programming software is designed to be highly configurable to meet the most customised needs possible. They are made up of drivers and functional blocks specifically adapted to ensure rapid, autonomous application development.
However, these development kits, which offer numerous application possibilities, can also seem complex and require assistance. This is why it is essential to have available and competent technical support to accompany their deployment on any platform.
Responsive technical support also enables the manufacturer’s engineers to benefit from precise technical advice and best practices to ensure successful integration tailored to their needs.
Reducing compatibility problems
Process automation can be very demanding in terms of knowledge, skills and time, despite the ever-increasing deployment of intuitive, configurable and customisable tools by industrial automation software publishers. That’s why it’s important to select a partner who can offer support tailored to your needs, including training and assistance in using the integrated development environment (IDE).
Indeed, some industrial automation software designers have understood this need and are now developing advanced support services to help their integrator customers make the most of their tools.
Tailor-made training courses are also increasingly being offered to support customers as closely as possible to their needs and the industrial environment they already have.
This type of support is a real advantage when it is available throughout the product lifecycle, guaranteeing long-term system operation.
Reduced downtime
Last but not least, effective and efficient technical support not only ensures the perfect installation of industrial automation software, but also provides reactive and efficient assistance.
Agile support means that any problems can be resolved quickly, without any production downtime. This is a clear financial advantage.
Effective customer support means that the solution can be integrated more smoothly, saving time and money by avoiding potential production bottlenecks.
Effective technical support is essential for the successful integration of industrial automation software. This guarantees a secure, customised installation.
Even if you have in-house technicians and engineers responsible for programming and maintaining the PLC applications, receiving specific support from your software publisher guarantees rapid debugging to ensure that your production line runs smoothly.
