The development of computer software for the factory involves more industry specific technical expertise than computer expertise. Process automation requires a tight combination of several skills, rarely found in one individual. The quality of the system is typically a compromise between what the engineers wants to accomplish and how much of it the programmers can understand.

PLCs offer a solution to some degree, but the ladder logic does not go too far and a solid computer programming background is now required to implement a PLC application that requires more than ladder logic.

Other approaches provide 'canned' function blocks. Again you are forced to make a compromise between what you want to do and what the function blocks allow you to do. In addition, many (most) of these so called industrial software packages rely on Windows, and that makes them far removed from real time and unreliable.

Meanwhile, since the early 1980's, RTES has offered a unique platform, a powerful tool that allows the control system engineer to design the application without being a programmer.

Every project started with the RTES platform has been succesfully completed, on schedule and on or below budget.

Most applications deployed with RTES have been very task-specific, demanding, one of kind. Often, RTES came to the rescue when all other "conventional" methods had failed.

Do what your competition does and you will be like them. To rise above, you need to do something different
