"By implementing the latest Wonderware FactorySuite A2 software, customers can easily add and maintain new capabilities without interrupting production or disturbing existing automation or IT infrastructure.
The Wonderware Industrial Application Server provides unprecedented savings in both the upfront development and ongoing maintenance of plant-wide automation and information applications, and this estimating tool makes it easier than ever to justify your next project," concluded Garbrecht.
