From traditional hardware-centric to a modern software driven approach

Unlike traditional automation systems that are hardware-defined and rely on a single device to dictate the entire ecosystem, SDA embraces open systems and allows you to choose software that can be used on any hardware. This shift from hardware-centricity to software-centricity brings immense benefits to your automation development process.

SDA tackles the challenges posed by impending regulations and cybersecurity risks head-on. By ensuring that the chosen technology meets future requirements, both on a technical and methodological level, SDA empowers industrial players to avoid being locked into a single vendor. This vendor agnosticism not only mitigates risks and reduces costs but also enhances long-term quality, efficiency, and resilience.

One of the critical advantages of SDA is its agnosticism, which reduces dependency, cuts costs, and improves quality in the long run. Additionally, it offers risk management, traceability, and the ability to continue development without disruption.

SDA provides an open Linux platform that is highly customizable to meet your specific needs by leveraging modern software tools and methods. An open system also ensures seamless maintenance of your system, allowing you to adapt and optimize your automation processes with ease.

With a growing pool of software experts, SDA bridges the competency gap between software and automation professionals, ensuring that you have access to the right expertise for successful implementation.

Experience the benefits of software-driven automation today. Embrace agnosticism, reduce risks, increase efficiency, and enjoy the cost savings that SDA brings. Join us as we revolutionize the automation landscape with the power of software.
