Automation/Industrial/Medical
In the Medical Equipment, and Industrial Automation markets, there are significant common forces motivating engineering teams to adopt Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and MDA approaches, including cost reduction, complexity management, collaboration, intensification of quality demands, political auditing, and consequences of failure to deliver and to perform.Each of these markets has differing priorities, as for example, the medical domain would assign a higher priority to the consequence of failure to perform than that of cost reduction. While stakeholders may have differing priorities as they develop a wide diversity of products, these forces are driving engineers to MBSE and MDA in each of these markets.
By embracing the latest UML and SysML standards to build and deploy components across projects and platforms, Artisan Studio is used by developers to model their requirements and their complex mission-critical applications together, linking them to ensure that specific components can be demonstrated to meet requirements at the modeling level, before continuing to software development and coding. And using automatic code generation targeting their specific operating system demands for Ada, C, Java, C++ and C#, the rewards for adopting MBSE can achieve significantly improved developer productivity.
Regulatory bodies involved in the market approval of medical devices and instrumentation require ever more stringent auditable development processes to be followed which results in all software systems being designed, rather than simply evolving. Companies like DCA Design International, Elekta Oncology Systems, Disetronic Medical Systems, Oridion Medical Systems and IIP Technologies use Artisan to develop medical devices including drug delivery and diagnostic devices, insulin pump systems, IMRT oncology equipment monitoring and control systems, patient monitoring products and cardiovascular therapeutic devices.
In Industrial Automation, car park security, payment and monitoring systems, plant robotic systems, postal sorting and security systems and many other industrial systems and process engineering applications have been developed using Artisan at companies such as Control Techniques, DiehlAko Controls, Elster Instromet, Invensys, Leuze Lumiflex Electronic, Neopost, Serco and Siemens A&D. Many of these developments involve distributed development teams which exploit Artisan Studio’s support for multi-site teams ensuring that even geographically distributed teams are able to dynamically work together cohesively enabling systems engineers, software engineers and test engineers to work together using one tool in a unitary modeling environment – ensuring full and comprehensive traceability, and optimizing reuse to minimize investment and maintenance costs.
