Simple data integration, easy engineering

The aim of the companies and universities cooperating
within PROLIST® INTERNATIONAL is to achieve seamless
integration of the workflows of all parties involved in plant life cycle management. The basis for this has been created in the form of machine-readable descriptions of the properties of process automation components that are relevant for engineering purposes. The benefits of the list of properties technology are already being implemented in joint projects between users on the customer and manufacturer side.
