• Hydraulic and Pneumatic
• Electrical
• Mechanical
• HMI and control panels
• Manufactures’ catalogues
• PLC ladder diagram, Grafcet and SFC.
• Block diagram/ Math workshop
• CAN bus, API and OPC communication

Automation Studio™ Live Manifold: The Complete Hydraulic Manifold Software Solution for Design, Quoting and Prototyping.

With this software solution, the time to develop hydraulic manifold design to production is cut by 80%!

Hydraulic Integrated Circuits (HIC) is the technology of choice for designers of compact, efficient and reliable systems. Manifold design software provides unsurpassed advantages, recognized and implemented across the industry. After more than two decades of supplying Automation Studio™ to the industry, Famic Technologies Inc. has developed a software solution that addresses the entire workflow of manifolds, reducing time and expenses.

Automation Studio™ Live Manifold is streamlined to quickly and correctly propose and implement systems. From quoting to final design, Automation Studio™ Live Manifold reduces processing times and produces a better final product quality.

Key Benefits:

• Improve your manifold design process using an all-in-one trade-oriented software solution.
• Explore different modes of design: auto-routing or manual, according to the complexity of your manifolds.
• Benefit from extensive component documentation of our Manufacturers’ Catalogues including: PDF specifications, ISO1219 symbols, simulation parameters, 3D models, etc.
• Reduce design iterations and delivery time by producing clear design details of your manifolds.
• Optimize your manifolds according to important design criterion: block size, component and port location, manufacturing process, price, etc.
• Configure and implement manifold design standards to ensure quality and consistency: drilling rules, spacing rules, cavity rules, etc.
• Simulate your manifolds to test, analyze and compare performances of different manifold design solutions throughout your design process in order to exceed client expectations.
• Speed up the process of creating a specialized manifold through the intuitive 3D editor and available tools: drag & drop 2D components from schematics to the 3D editor and position, dimension and measure the performances of routing channels.
• Avoid design errors with real time synchronization and interaction between the schematic and the 3D manifold.
• Generate comprehensive project reports including engineering drawings.

With Andon Studio™, you have the Power of Industry 4.0 at your fingertips. 

Andon Studio™ lets you monitor your productivity in real-time, optimize your operations and manage your processes. Make the most of Industry 4.0 potential by acquiring, sharing and using your data to improve your productivity and strengthen your continuous improvement initiatives.

A complete solution to optimize your production through its interface with equipment and other software!

• Monitor operations and machine KPI (Key Performance Indicators)

Equipment and production status, service requests, KPIs, production and rejects are displayed in real-time on centralized display across the factory.

• Configure workflows to suit your processes

Configure your own processes through a user-friendly graphical interface that allows you to draw the process’s workflow diagram and easily configure each of its steps and transitions.

• Trace each action and event

Set up your alerts and notifications to send and receive information through the preferred means of communication of each assigned person. It is possible to configure automatic escalations in case of no or delayed response to an alert.

• Manage work orders received from the ERP

The generic bidirectional synchronizer supports the addition of plugins to connect with any type of system, allowing automatic synchronization of sites, equipment, products, planned work  orders and manufacturing operations from the ERP system to Andon Studio™, then returning it real information such as status, duration, production counts, rejects, remanufacturing or any other essential information.

• Alerts and notifications

Set up your alerts and notifications to send and receive information through the preferred means of communication of each assigned person. It is possible to configure automatic escalations in case of no or delayed response to an alert. 

• Access to contextual documentation

Whether it's work instructions, troubleshooting documents, procedures or any other type of documentation, Andon Studio™ allows you to create custom categories and to classify all your documentation accordingly. It is possible to use text files, audio files, videos, links, etc. Access to this documentation is provided through the configured rights.

• Generate customized reports.

In addition to the reports already provided, you can add your own custom reports in a graphical, text and/or tabular format. You can also share them very easily.
