Famic Technologies Partners with Koganei to Unveil Their Pneumatic Catalogue in Automation Studio™ (Montreal, Quebec) October 8th, 2018 Famic Technologies Inc., system design and simulation software provider, released today the first pneumatic Automation StudioTM catalogue including products of Japan manufacturer Koganei. Famic Technologies builds on its commitment to help industrial companies address the market shift to Industry 4.0 with Automation StudioTM, a platform that easily integrates all mechatronics technologies and helps end-users to quickly create and simulate complete solutions. The company has developed over the years many digital catalogues from different hydraulic manufacturers, thus providing a wide range of pre-programmed products with accurate simulation parameters. Two years ago, upon the requests of various end-users, Famic started developing on-demand manufacturer pneumatic products. Today, Famic launches the complete pneumatic catalogue in Automation StudioTM which includes best-seller products of Koganei, a long-time user and reseller of Automation StudioTM. This catalogue has been specifically developed to support automation and manufacturing markets. “Koganei is a long-time partner. They have been using and reselling Automation StudioTM in the Japanese market for 20 years.” said Charbel Nasr, President and CEO of Famic Technologies. “Created by Famic’s team, the content of this catalogue has been validated by Koganei to ensure information completeness and quality as well as performances of each product for both Koganei’s team and its customers. This includes design, simulation and validation of pneumatic systems as well as related documentation, training and maintenance activities. For the benefits of end users, the catalogue will be updated on timely fashion to keep it reflective of the evolution of Koganei’s product lines.” Each Koganei product included in Automation StudioTM is represented by a symbol and integrates all relevant technical data required to simulate accurately a product’s behaviour within a system. Once the pneumatic design is complete, users can easily develop and link the associated control logic to quickly prototype and test through simulation the multi-technology system within Automation StudioTM. Users can further co-simulate the modelled system in Automation StudioTM with third-party software, control devices and PLCs using the CAN Bus J1939 module, the API module or the OPC Client / OPC Server module. Prototyping and testing the control logic associated to a pneumatic design Koganei’s complete documentation can easily be accessed from the Automation StudioTM catalogue and the products’ commercial information is additionally integrated in each digital product. Once the design is complete, users can generate automatically the necessary reports and Bill of Materials which will include Koganei’s detailed product information. Complete documentation available for Koganei’s products Hiroaki Miyata, Manager of the Engineering Service Department in Koganei says “In our continuous quest for quality, we always strive to offer our customers the best products and services and to quickly answer their queries. Our objective is to increase the autonomy of our sales and support specialists, so they can quickly show concepts to customers and produce engineering documentation automatically. We also want to provide training specialists with tools that meet their expectations when creating trainings on Koganei products. We found that Automation StudioTM is the perfect tool to support all these activities, especially with the addition of the Japanese interface developed by Famic.” About Famic Technologies Inc.
