Industrial Usability Award
For its especially user-friendly approach to hardware configuration, System Designer was distinguished with first place by the Industrial Usability Award jury. Incorporated in the B&R Automation Studio development environment, System Designer helps developers configure a project’s automation hardware quickly and without errors. The photorealistic topology
view shows the hardware just as it will appear in the control cabinet. This earns it extra points for usability and makes work easier for the tool’s various user groups.
Having a clear overview of a system’s architecture, especially a complex one, is particularly helpful when the time comes to make changes. “It makes a developer’s work considerably easier,” says Gernot Bachler, who heads B&R’s automation software business unit.
“They simply click-and-drag modules and devices from the well-sorted Hardware Catalog, and then place them either in the tree structure or in the 2D control cabinet view.” The topology can then be labelled and printed. System Designer was developed in cooperation with usability expert Elke Deubzer from the PMO Institute for Usability Engineering and Organizational Development. “Intuitive, user-friendly interfaces help different user groups learn and execute their assigned tasks quickly and easily, ultimately reducing time-to-market,” says Deubzer.
