Simplify PLC engineering across sites
Software Defined Automation’s Browser-based Engineering changes that. As an IDE-as-a-Service (IDEaaS) solution, it gives engineers secure access to any PLC IDE directly from a browser. They can diagnose, fix, and deploy updates remotely using the latest vendor tools—enabling faster problem resolution and effortless support across multiple sites.

Zero installation: Access TIA Portal, Studio 5000 from any browser

Always up-to-dated: No version management or license headaches
Our IDEaaS allows you to pool and share licenses among your team, increasing license utilization and potential cost savings.

Remote capable: Enable work-from- anywhere productivity
SDA provides remote access without compromising security. All connections are implemented through a secure VPN, and every session starts up a fresh copy of the respective IDE version, which is then discarded upon termination.

Inter-site collaboration easily: Share sessions for troubleshooting and training
Maintain a record of who has done what in the system. These recordings can be used to document contractors’ sessions, serve as a reminder to engineers of what they did, and for training.
