By migrating to SIMATIC PCS 7, APACS+ customers also profit from the numerous advantages provided by Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) and the facilities already provided by the system for integration into the corporate information network. These include connection of the SIMATIC IT Manufacturing Execution System as well as monitoring via the World Wide Web or OPC data exchange with IT other applications.

In addition to the above-mentioned technical aspects, future compatibility is also an important argument in favor of APACS+/QUADLOG migration. This is achieved by Siemens investing in continuous product development and the long-term, global servicing for its range of SIMATIC products.
