"To be considered for selection, candidate products were to demonstrate that a specific set of functionality could be integrated into an application in a fixed amount of time. As a result of the software performance and integration capabilities, automation engineers chose RSBatch."

Genentech, Inc.



"This process control system application brought to the wastewater treatment utility a level of automation, process control, and information management that had not existed before. The implementation of RSView32, and the ability to maximize its functionality's paid immediate dividends in terms of operating efficiency…the machine monitoring and alarm response resulted in equipment and personnel safety."

Jay Hardison
Treatment Services Team Leader
Colorado Springs Utilities



"This application allows operators to view real-time data from every piece of tooling on the plant floor. By using RSSql to transfer plant floor data from RSView32 directly into a relational database, we can effectively track the life cycle of any tool, and that helped us balance quality, cost, and productivity. Nosler can now get the most out of a tool by eliminating the guesswork and not wasting tool capacity."

Mark McConnell
Engineer
Nosler Inc.



"With RSView32, saving information to a database gives our customers expanded options. They can print it out, save it, archive it, do historical checks against it-the whole works. And having VBA integrated into RSView32 has led to many savings… we're pulling the data directly from the PC, rather than from the controller… processing time on both the controller and the PC have been greatly speeded up."

Bryan Graves
Controls Engineer
Coating Technologies Associates Incorporated



"One of the greatest challenges was to design an operator interface system that allowed an unskilled operator to run a complex control system with ease and confidence. The features of RSView32 enabled us to design a truly operator friendly system. The results ranged in everything from increased production capacity and improved safety to tracking down-time, efficiency, productivity, and attainment."

Edward Brant
Manufacturing Engineering Coordinator
Pass & Seymour Legrand



"With RSView32…it has provided the operators with a more user-friendly, much less complicated operating system. It's a system the company can modify and continue to work with, and it's made the operators' lives easier - it's easier to monitor equipment, allows for a high level of automation, and provides operators with more information. We have a simpler system, easier trouble shooting…and much more accurate, real-time data, plus historical trending and archiving. The Rockwell Software products took us from the old control panel relay logic into the 90s."

Gary Wright
Plant Manager
Ash Grove Cement



"With the familiar Windows-based interface that RSView32 has, I can train somebody to run the plant in 2 to 3 hours, all a new operator needs is the basic knowledge of what piece of equipment goes where, and they can coordinate that with the custom screens. The new system will help us extend the life of our equipment, the operators have more control of what's going on, and they can troubleshoot any problems a lot quicker and simpler. This all contributes to more productivity and less maintenance,"

Jeff Danielson
Lead Electrician
Black Hills Bentonite



"We knew that an automation solution for snow-making must be possible, but none of the manufacturers could supply a reasonable cost solution that would give Wisp the information and control it wanted. Our goal was save time and money…other systems would have been difficult to implement, but with VBA integrated in RSView32, it gave us a quick and easy way to implement keeping the derived tags current. VBA enables us to centralized information, without writing a lot of code."

Bob Yaste
Mountain Manager
Wisp Four Seasons Ski Resort



"Because of RSView32 and other Rockwell Software products we chose for this project, we were able to continually view and modify/upgrade this application from our office, via modem without expensive and time consuming travel to the site. This enabled us to provide our customer with fast and efficient service, real-time troubleshooting, which we could not have done otherwise."

Paul Handrahan
Programmer
WRC Industrial Sales Inc.



"Rockwell Software's RSSql was the best candidate to simplify the job of moving PLC data to the database. This whole project has given our customer excellent results, achieving the highest standards of accuracy, flexibility, and stability…We tried many methods, but nothing came close to the reliability and configurability of RSSql. RSSql is the workhouse of our solution."

Victoria Cocco
Systems Developer
JMP Engineering



"In our search for a graphical interface package we looked at many different systems. RSView32 had powerful functions, such as graphics imports, the ability to bring in AutoCad files, and to animate the different graphics objects…and powerful communications standards with existing Allen-Bradley equipment."

Mike Kingsley
Project Engineer
Garavanta Ctek (Ski Lift Manufacturer)



"I was quite surprised at how easy it was to convert from the system we were using. So many things we do, we can do easier on RSView32…plus, we can display much more information to our operators, it's easier to understand, shown to them at a quicker rate and looks a lot nicer."

Phil Russell
Electrician Foreman, Electrical Dept./Plant Engineering
Lykes Pasco



"RSView32 adheres closely to Microsoft product ground rules. It's easy to learn and easy to interface with spread sheets, word processing, reports, and other off-the-shelf third-party programs…you can bring spread sheets right into the displays, and cut and paste them into your applications."

Dominique Alibeckoff
Director of Engineering
Nylonge Co.



"It's the team behind the product that impressed me…that the customer is part of the team and the customer has input into the product…the company, the software engineers, the marketing people all standing behind the product, that's what impressed me."

Michael Richter
Lead Technician & Designer
Corporate R&D Pilot Line
Weyerhauser



"I have been using RSSql for over a year now with great success. I am impressed with the seamless ability to gather information from my plant floor and log data into a SQL database with data integrity. The ease of use with the simple point and click…has also been an impressive feature. Having access to this information helped us organize, optimize and plan with current information. Overall, the impact of RSSql has been a very positive experience."

Frank Cloward
Equipment Engineer
Boeing Commercial Airplane Group



"Standardization is a popular buzzword that is extremely difficult to attain and rarely achieved. One of the fundemental benefits of RSWire is it allows you the ability to truly "standardize"controls engineering efforts. This technology brings "electrical intelligence" to drawings. RSWire minimizes the quantity of manually drawn items, hence minimizing exposure to human errors. The integration with other programming tools eliminates the process of re-typing information, and increases accuracy, among other benefits."

Milwaukee Stategic Provider
Material Handling Business



"By using RSWire our company has reduced the time spent on both the design and modifications of control systems drawings. On typical designs it has reduced our normal design time by up to fifty percent, thus showing a significant saving to our company."
"We particularly liked the way in which the package automates tasks, which would normally require labour intensive drawing."
