When deci­ding on a con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­on, the sus­tainable bene­fits for the users and the pro­ces­ses should always be con­side­red in addi­ti­on to deci­ding on the cor­rect approach and the appro­pria­te tech­no­lo­gy. In line with the requi­re­ments and ide­as of its cus­to­mers, ORISA offers soft­ware solu­ti­ons based on various tech­no­lo­gies and advi­ses cus­to­mers during the sel­ec­tion pro­cess.

ORISA’s stan­dar­di­sed con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on sys­tem CREALIS® has a com­pre­hen­si­ve port­fo­lio with num­e­rous func­tions. CREALIS® PDM is the com­pre­hen­si­ve main­ten­an­ce envi­ron­ment for all data and depen­den­ci­es that are requi­red as part of a con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­on. No pro­gramming know­ledge is requi­red when car­ry­ing out the data main­ten­an­ce work. CREALIS® CPQ is the pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor, which has its basis in the PDM data. It offers exten­si­ve role con­cepts, for exam­p­le for retail sce­na­ri­os, the secu­ri­ty fea­tures of a modern cloud solu­ti­on, and up-to-date, user-fri­end­ly func­tion­a­li­ty for use on all com­mon devices. What’s more, it comes with modu­les such as an enga­ging 3D dis­play and a CRM sys­tem that ensu­res seam­less inte­gra­ti­on with par­ti­cu­lar empha­sis on sales tasks.

Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­ons based on the SAP® vari­ant con­fi­gu­ra­tor SAP® IPC also offer a high­ly com­pre­hen­si­ve ran­ge of func­tions. It is often the case that the sys­tem can­not be used out-of-the-box, as the stan­dar­di­sed packa­ge may not meet all requi­re­ments in terms of usa­bi­li­ty and ran­ge of func­tions. Howe­ver, the SAP plat­forms pro­vi­de suf­fi­ci­ent approa­ches for adap­ting and expan­ding the front-end and back-end indi­vi­du­al­ly, for exam­p­le. This means that the stan­dar­di­sed ERP pro­ces­ses can be appli­ed to a wide ran­ge of con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­ons. ORISA has imple­men­ted a wide ran­ge of solu­ti­ons in this envi­ron­ment, from mini­mal adapt­a­ti­ons of the SAP® IPC user inter­face to com­ple­te­ly inde­pen­dent off­line solu­ti­ons.

Ano­ther approach to achie­ving the opti­mal con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­on could also be cus­tom deve­lo­p­ment. As a soft­ware pro­vi­der, ORISA has the neces­sa­ry exper­ti­se when it comes to imple­men­ting modern and sus­tainable solu­ti­ons. The­re are many reasons for not opting for stan­dard soft­ware. One reason may be the exis­ting tech­ni­cal frame­work, which places very strict requi­re­ments on the tech­no­lo­gy used. As a result, many stan­dard solu­ti­ons are sim­ply non-star­ters and tho­se that remain under con­side­ra­ti­on do not offer the desi­red ran­ge of func­tions. A very wide-ran­ging cus­to­mi­sed func­tion­al scope could be ano­ther moti­ve, which would invol­ve too many altera­ti­ons to a stan­dard soft­ware packa­ge. Thus, it some­ti­mes beco­mes chal­len­ging for the stan­dard soft­ware pro­vi­der to gua­ran­tee long-term sup­port if the stan­dard soft­ware needs to under­go stra­te­gic deve­lo­p­ment. In addi­ti­on, the data­ba­se that is available some­ti­mes con­tri­bu­tes to the decis­i­on to fol­low an indi­vi­du­al path. It is not always pos­si­ble to map exten­si­ve data struc­tures and inte­gra­ted depen­den­ci­es with a stan­dar­di­sed struc­tu­re. In this case, the best approach is to deve­lop a sta­te-of-the-art, high-per­for­mance rule engi­ne.

Sie­mens Buil­ding Tech­no­lo­gies as a divi­si­on of Sie­mens Schweiz AG com­bi­nes offe­rings for buil­ding secu­ri­ty, buil­ding auto­ma­ti­on and eco­no­mic­al buil­ding ope­ra­ti­on in one com­pa­ny — both as a ser­vice pro­vi­der and as a pro­vi­der of com­ple­te sys­tems, tail­or-made indi­vi­du­al solu­ti­ons and a manu­fac­tu­rer of cor­re­spon­ding pro­ducts.

ORISA Soft­ware imple­men­ted the HVAC Inte­gra­ted Tool (HIT) for Sie­mens. As a simp­le and intel­li­gent tool and through an intui­ti­ve sequence of work steps in HIT any HVAC con­trol device can be sel­ec­ted and docu­men­ted — whe­ther as a sin­gle pro­duct or in a sys­tem con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on.
