Theyre about standard fare for complexity. I&#39;ve never been able to get any decent support out of them. For myself, a worker in an automation systems organization, with the frequent task of having to stream line production automation Im always amazed when companies present some half hour demo on a single provisioning application. its like bruh, the faster I get your products in our units, the more money we all make. How the heck do we make this 30 minute process a 1 minute process, and completely remove the possibility of human error?&nbsp; you train a human to do it. isnt a good answer. Any guy we got with the skill to memorize whatever crazy bs interface these companies come up with is a personnel resource that could be better utilized doing anything else.&nbsp;<br /><br />Ive seen a bunch of these anybus gateways come back, usually due to onsite deployment compatibility issues. which is kinda the same thing, if it were simple, maybe an onsite tech could fix it. instead, they call us, we struggle then conclude its some artificially imposed barrier to keeping these products unusable. Fun fact, Anybus is a Mitsubishi subsidiary, and Mitsubishi is my company&#39;s primary competitor. of course I think only my boss and myself know that. we don&#39;t care, it was funny for a while though. We just cant afford all the time these products take to configure on any given site post provisioning. We need stuff that just works, every time, no fuss.&nbsp;<br /><br />MSA doesnt have a better product, they have better support.&nbsp;</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=29336&AppID=207&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/learn/learning-center/the-tech-connection/b/blog/posts/overcoming-the-challenges-of-interoperability-in-industrial-automationMon, 01 Dec 2025 15:42:51 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:bf96c7b3-2e9f-4867-8650-ac6e27872bbfrsc1<p>Let&#39;s hope that whatever challenge you come up with is a bit easier to complete than the&nbsp;<span>experimenting with&nbsp;</span><span class="il">industrial</span><span>&nbsp;</span><span class="il">automation</span><span>&nbsp;program.&nbsp; It&#39;s very difficult to just &quot;learn&quot; industrial controls without code examples and good software documentation/tutorials.</span></p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=29336&AppID=207&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
