Standards for Higher Efficiency
- Increased efficiency and cost reductions through standardization: This happens in the form of concepts that unify function blocks, interfaces and protocols for automating machines and systems.
- For example, leading oil companies already rely on established programming standards. Every single step in software engineering is documented with incredible accuracy and codified so the same program modules can be used every time.
- Uniform interfaces between different systems reduce the failure rate during both the design phase and actual operation, while increasing system availability.
