Key Concepts
Here are some guidelines to consider when working with FactoryStudio:Verify the Best Practices and Recommendations on Each Module
Most of FtrameworX core modules, like Historian, Alarms and others, they have own Section about Best Practices and Recommendation, with contents specific about that module. Ensure you review that when using that module.Planning and Design
Before you start developing a FactoryStudio project, take the time to plan and design the system. This includes defining the scope of the project, creating a functional specification, and determining the requirements for the user interface, data collection, and alarm management.
Modularization
Modularization is an important best practice in FactoryStudio. It involves breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable modules that can be developed and tested independently. This approach makes it easier to debug and maintain the project, as well as reuse modules across different projects.
Version Control
Using version control software is essential when working on FactoryStudio projects. This allows you to track changes, revert to previous versions, and collaborate with other team members more effectively. Git is a popular version control system that integrates well with FactoryStudio.
Documentation
Creating documentation for your FactoryStudio projects is crucial for ensuring that other team members can understand and maintain the project over time. Make sure to document the project structure, module dependencies, data sources, and other important aspects of the project.
Testing and Debugging
Testing and debugging are essential steps in the development process. Make sure to thoroughly test each module and the system as a whole before deploying it. Debugging tools such as breakpoints, watches, and log files can help you identify and fix issues quickly.
Security
Security is a critical consideration when building automation and SCADA systems. Make sure to follow best practices for network security, password management, user access control, and data encryption. FactoryStudio includes built-in security features such as user authentication and role-based access control.
Troubleshooting
Ideally, you can troubleshoot problems even before they happen in the field. Always review the troubleshooting topics on each module to ensure your solution is not at risk of being affected by the issues described in that item.
Performance Optimization
Optimizing the performance of your FactoryStudio projects can help ensure that they run smoothly and efficiently. Consider using techniques such as caching, indexing, and data compression to improve performance. Also, make sure to monitor system performance regularly to identify and address any issues.
Best Practices for Each Module

4.2.2. Web-based HMI and Dashboard Access In this sub-section, the focus will be on the process of setting up and configuring web-based HMI and dashboard access for the FactoryStudio application. It will discuss the necessary steps to enable web access for end-users, such as configuring the web server and deploying the web-based HMI and dashboard components. Additionally, it will provide guidance on best practices for designing web-based interfaces and ensuring smooth access to the application over the internet.
4.2.3. Responsive Design and Device Compatibility This sub-section will address the importance of designing responsive interfaces for client displays, ensuring that the HMI and dashboard components adapt to different screen sizes, resolutions, and orientations. It will cover design principles and best practices for creating responsive layouts, such as using flexible grids, scalable images, and media queries. The focus will be on ensuring that the FactoryStudio application delivers an optimal user experience across various devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones, with platform-specific considerations and recommendations for different client types.
