Strong ability to customize, but require improvements to their BOM configuration

In the next release, I would like to see improvements to their BOM configuration. Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems. The solution also needs better capabilities of the features it has. I am looking for it to have modeling, project planning, and MES capabilities as well as a built-in CAD tool.

Reliable controls have improved daily turbine tuning and simplify diagnosis for smooth operations

What I appreciate most about Siemens SIMATIC is that it is a very user-friendly system, and I can access it easily. The part that feels easiest for me with Siemens SIMATIC is in diagnosis, particularly for troubleshooting the diagnosis. Siemens SIMATIC has helped my organization in a positive way because it is operationally very smooth, I can troubleshoot easily for the systems, and we can use it anywhere. We are using the OPC systems, so it is a very user-friendly system where I can access troubleshooting, and I can do diagnosis very easily.
