“I have been using Automation Studio for a long time and have seen the program evolve from version 3.01 to 5.6. Previously, classes consisted of drawing valves on the board or in a notebook and imagining the movements of the valves and actuators; now I am able to simulate circuits in a realistic way; the student can input data about load, volume, pressure and RPM and gain reliable results. An easy way to assemble circuits and the quantity of standard symbols which the library relies on allows one to make both basic and complicated circuits. I use it in my Hydraulic & Pneumatic and PLC classes, and now we are also working in programming with Grafcet, a tool very much used on an international level. Comparing it with other software that I am familiar with, Automation Studio definitely has more advantages. I recommend it to any university that wants to do different things just as much for students as for the teachers.”
"Milwaukee School of Engineering is a leading school in teaching fluid power and motion control for both undergraduate students and industry professionals.
Lately we have upgraded our training equipment with Automation Studio™ Educational version. Our material were no more static presentations, it became live and interactive. The whole circuits are now presented for the students and discussed interactively to reinforce the understanding of the basic and advanced concepts. With the use of Automation Studio™, teaching fluid power and motion control became fun. Automation Studio™ helped us a lot in developing PC-Based training modules. Thanks for Automation Studio™."
"I have been using Automation Studio™ as a teaching tool for classes in pneumatic circuits since the days when it was PneuSim. Every new version has been an improvement over the previous. I now use Automation Studio™ for Pneumatics, Electrical Relay Ladder Logic and for PLC programming lectures.
I have found it to been an effective method to demonstrate control circuits during lectures. Students pay attention in class, ask informed questions, and are usually well prepared for their lab activities after lectures that include one or more simulations. Automation Studio™ makes my job easier and more fun, since I enjoy making the simulations as much as the students enjoy seeing them. "
"I have been using Automation Studio™ software here at the National Construction College for nearly five years. I have found the Automation Studio™ package invaluable as a teaching resource, as it graphically shows everything you could possibly need from very simple hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical principles right up to the logic systems of electronic control, one of a select few programs on the market that can do this and by far the easiest one to use. Using the Automation Studio™ program is a cost effective and efficient method of teaching all aspects of hydraulic, electric, and pneumatic control; simply a must have for any training facility."
"We at Alcorn State University are using Automation Studio™ in teaching pneumatics, hydraulics, PLCs and in various electrical engineering courses.
The simulation ability of Automation Studio™ is a great advantage over the other products. Having the same platform that allows for simulation of various circuits makes it much easier for the students and faculty to use the software and shortens the time required from theoretical design and calculation to actual application of the circuit."
"I am a firm believer in well-developed simulation software to teach fundamental concepts and Automation Studio™ has become an invaluable tool in my teaching of hydraulics and electrical systems. Tools demonstrate their value when they help accomplish a desired objective and your simulation software has made it possible for me to have greater confidence in students’ ability to tackle complex hydraulic and electrical tasks prior to releasing them to work on real-world systems! In fact, I am so confident in your product that students know that they will not be released to work on any system they design unless they can demonstrate that it works using Automation Studio™!."
"I am currently using Automation Studio™ to teach Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Electrical circuits and have found it to be an excellent tool in moving from textbook to application. I highly recommend it for anyone teaching skilled trades. On a scale of one to ten I would without hesitation give it a solid eleven. I have been using this software for at least the past ten years and it has been anexcellent tool for teaching the trades."
“I want to personally thank you and your staff for all the help that you gave me and the college by using
Automation Studio™. As you know, I was previously using Fluid Sim P. and Fluid Sim H to draw circuits, but with
thirty years of sound experience in Fluid Power, I have always found myself limited in the design of complex
systems when using circuit design software…until now. I must admit that Automation Studio™ has facilitated my
job as an instructor. Your libraries contain all the required ISO ymbols and the components can be configured
according to my needs. Your software has been a great asset for teaching, and it has shown to be an even
greater advantage for corporate training. It provides me a competitive advantage over other corporate trainers
since I can design the systems of the machines my customers actually use, and to customize my training
according to their specific needs. The prints created with Automation Studio™ can then be used to train new
employees. I can’t thank you enough for all the help this represents for me! Your company is great to work with,
and your software is second to none.”
"With funding for technical programs becoming very limited we find the Automation Studio™ software an excellent alternative in teaching the basics of hydraulics, pneumatics, and machine control. The software provides a positive feedback as well as reinforcement for the students when they take their lecture information into the lab. The simulated cut-away views allow the student to see "inside" greatly enhancing the non-simulated cut-aways we pass around in class. Then as the student advances Automation Studio™ simulation software reinforces the circuitry and interaction between the various electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic components. We find Automation Studio™ an excellent teaching tool and an alternative to the high cost of funding a professional/technical college program."
"Automation Studio™ is a good tool for designing circuits before the students build them in the lab. The simulation capabilities will tell them if their circuit will work in the real world. It is also much faster than for example AutoCad since most symbols are already there."
"I have found that Automation Studio™ provides an excellent "bridge" from theory to application. Students who use the software more readily develop the ability to build real circuits and demonstrate the understanding of the theories behind the circuitry. It is a very effective teaching tool and I would highly reccomend it for the technical instructor."
"I became aquainted with Automation Studio™ about 7 years ago when I was instructing at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I needed something that I could use in the classroom to draw basic circuits for the students. Since this program not only allowed me to draw them, but to simulate them as well, it was the choice for the time. Since then, I have seen several others on the market, but none seem to have all the "bells and whistles" that this program has. One of our customers at SSCC saw a demonstration during a tour of our facility, and liked the program so much that they purchased it for their plant and put all their hydraulic systems on it. They installed it on the machine computers and use it for troubleshooting and for making design changes in their circuits.
Here at AIDT, I am having it installed on student computers so that they can draw the circuits that we build on our trainers. This allows them to "try" their circuits to see if they will work before building them. We are also installing it in our Electro-Pneumatic lab where they teach troubleshooting. We have had very good response from all who have used or viewed this program." Thanks for a good product.
"Computer-based simulation of circuitry is gaining wide acceptance as a tool that can be used to facilitate learnin in curriculum dealing with electrical engineering technology. As a user of Automation Studio™ I have found this package to an ideal tool for teaching the fundamentals of industrial controls in general and PLC ladder logic programming in particular."
"The current letter is a testimonial of my appreciation of Automation Studio™.
As a teacher in electromechanical of automated systems, I’ve always been concerned with improving the learning process of my students by using different educational tools that would allow me to reach my teaching goals. Since my discovery of Automation Studio™, I have recognised that this software is truly the educational tool par excellence. It is valued by students and teachers alike. Its simplicity of operation, its multiple workshops, and its simulation function make it the perfect learning tool. I have no other choice but to recommend it wholeheartedly."
"In my courses, I have been using Automation Studio™ for some years in order to simulate the control applications. As the software is very user-friendly, it allows to create control applications of higher complexity very quickly.
I use Automation Studio™ for: - Pneumatic Controls (Circuits, MB) - Hydraulic Controls (Circuits, MB) - Electrical Controls (Relay Ladder Logic) - PLC Ladder Logic In all cases, the program has been working the best way. The students are inspired by the control applications animation. The simulation allows to discover faulty behavior within the circuits very fast and to troubleshoot them."
"I used the pneumatic simulation package last year and found it to be very good. Its an easy package to learn to use. I found it very useful for simulating exam and test questions and also for drawing up nice neat memorandums. It saves a huge amount of time because all the symbols are available in a symbol library, and you just have to drag and drop them into place. It also saves time in designing suitable circuits for tutorials and tests because of the ability of the software to simulate the circuit as you build onto it. I don't know how it compares to other similar simulation packages but I can highly recommend it."
