The product

From plant language to the Designer.

The Studio is a desktop application for Windows. It installs without administrator rights, opens in the browser and walks four steps in order. Generation requires a person to review and approve the proposal.

The four steps

Nothing is compiled until somebody approves it.

That screen lets you check the interpretation before generating files. Production acceptance requires validation at your site.

STEP 01

Configure your key

Configured in your Windows user environment. Projects, backups and logs generated by DAIDALDEX exclude the key. Also protect access to Windows and your Windows backups.

One time
STEP 02

Describe the plant

Processes, equipment and what you need to watch, in your own words. You can dictate it instead of typing.

Your words
STEP 03

Review and approve

Processes, assets, signals with their units and alarms with their limits, on the table before a single file is generated.

Human control
STEP 04

Download and import

The package arrives ready for the Designer, with the import guide and a manifest that lets you verify what was generated.

Importable

What you get

A project to continue in Designer.

The project comes out with the full structure. If something does not match your naming convention, it is corrected in the Studio and recompiled without describing the plant again.

  • Perspective ZIP. Plant, process and diagnostic views, with their navigation.
  • UDT definitions. Asset types with their properties and signals.
  • Tag instances. The full hierarchy, ready to point at your devices.
  • Alarms and trends. Priorities, limits and declared history.
  • Manifest with checksums. Exactly what was generated and by which build.
  • Import guide. Step by step, written for someone who did not watch the generation.

Vocabulary

A structure that fits the process.

There is no generic scene repainted in another colour. A brewhouse and a bottling line are built from different parts because they are different things.

PROCESS INDUSTRY

  • Vessels, tanks and mash tuns with level and agitation
  • Pumps, valves and lines with flow and pressure
  • Fillers and furnaces with their temperature curves
  • Bulk product: liquids and granulates

DISCRETE MANUFACTURING

  • Conveyors with parts moving along them
  • Robots, presses and tooling with cycle states
  • Vision and inspection stations
  • Discrete parts instead of bulk product

Review the scope before generating. The proposal shows the requested sections and the resources the compiler needs to connect them. Check that structure before approving the project.

Generated views

An automotive plant, process by process.

Screenshots of the automotive demo imported into Perspective 8.3: five processes, fifty pieces of equipment and forty-three views, with simulated data. The demo was built with repository generators and iterative human review; it does not document a complete project generated from a single Studio prompt.

The values on screen are simulated. The structure — assets, signals, units, alarms and trends — is what gets imported into your Gateway.

Iteration

Fixing something does not mean starting over.

The project is stored with its version. You can edit assets and signals, recompile, and compare against the previous version. Recompiling an existing project does not consume the model again.

  • Asset and signal editor on top of the generated project
  • Version history with its date and its build
  • Free recompilation when the compiler changes
  • Several projects in parallel on the same machine

Shall we try it on an area of yours?

One cell, one machine or one line is enough to measure whether this really saves you time.
