Design your project

... in the exact image of your process,
using a 100 % functional approach

Your process expertise

UAG offers a flexible process methodology, capable of keeping pace with your
installation's development and complying with ISA-88. UAG updates the control,
monitoring and supervision data for your process, according to the centralized
configuration.
It automatically handles:
b Consistency of the topological layout
b Management of all PLC resources
b Inter device communication
b Operating modes
b Process device configuration
b Process interlocks
b Consistency of the PLC and HMI applications

Using your own standards

With UAG you can reuse your know-how and deploy your own standards, such as:
b UAG libraries
b Naming convention
b A selection of PLC platforms and modules.
UAG provides a uniform solution based on your standards, ready for validation to
be carried out. During the design phase, the risk of error is kept to a minimum,
thereby reducing your costs too.

Total traceability
UAG tracks and documents every modification made. The version control system,
supports compliance with FDA 21 CFR 11, ensures simple, straightforward
validation.
