A single uniform programming tool for every aspect of an automation project minimizes training needs, solidifies overall integration, and eliminates communication problems between engineering disciplines.
Save time and money by starting software development before the hardware is completed, reusing software modules across multiple projects, validating functionality via simulation and carrying out commissioning module by module.
The user is provided effective support by the programming languages integrated in Automation Studio (IEC 61131-3 and ANSI C) - which can also be combined as required - and by the modern architecture and structuring of the programming environment. All languages can access the same data types and use the same libraries and variables. In addition, Automation Studio supports simple and secure programming. [More...]
The visualization system integrated in Automation Studio is an effective tool that can be used to create line displays as well as control integrated or remote XGA displays with keys and/or touch screens. This integration eliminates the need for external visualization tools, introducing cost savings for integrated machine visualization. Remote services such as VNC allow immediate remote operation and maintenance without additional expense. [More...].
Automation Studio provides a wide selection of diagnostic tools for reading system information and for optimizing the system. Using the System Diagnostics Manager, extensive information about the target system can be read using standard Web access.
Machines and systems are often operated in remote locations. As a result, service and maintenance tasks are generally dominated by travel expenses. Remote diagnostics and remote maintenance lower the risk, particularly during warranty periods. Whether performing hardware diagnostics, setting values or utilizing assisted machine operation, the integration of VNC, a Web server and remote programming provides valuable services for all phases of a machine's life cycle.
In Automation Studio, a fieldbus device is added to the corresponding fieldbus interface and configured like an I/O module. When using the import function for a device description from the respective supplier (GSD, EDS, etc.), the same interface is available to the user as is available for any other I/O module. As an open standard for setting parameters and configuring fieldbus devices for automation, the integrated FDT/DTM technology makes it easy to integrate fieldbus devices using familiar methods. This simplifies integration and minimizes the amount of programming and commissioning work needed. [More...]
An integral component of Automation Studio is the real-time operating system, the software kernel that allows applications to run on a target system. This guarantees the highest possible performance for the hardware being used.

Background: We have a simple automation studio workflow defined that would trigger when file with a certain name pattern is dropped and that then initiates the import activity (which also relies on a similar file name pattern so that it knows which files it can process).
file 2 dropped, automation studio kicks off again, hands it over to the import activity, but this time import activity sees two potential files it can process, file 1 and file 2 so it randomly picks one and starts processing it (which is a problem), although I feel that it should know that it just finished processing the file 1 a little while back, so it should not reprocess that.
If you have control over the file naming pattern, then @Data_Kid's Answer with time wild cards appended to the file name will solve your problem and then you can just use a Substitution String %%FILENAME_FROM_TRIGGER%% to pick up the latest file name dropped on FTP as each file drop will contain a different timestamp.
The HH:MM:S (Hours Minutes and Seconds) wild cards to your file naming pattern. This way it would be easier for the system to differentiate between the two files as they would have different names by virtue of been dropped at different times.
Automation Studio runs in the cloud and connects to Epicor solutions deployed in the cloud or on-premises. If needed, the On-Prem Agent provides a secure way for Automation Studio to selectively access customer-authorized on-premises apps, databases, and folders without having to open ports in the corporate firewall. Running Automation Studio in the cloud eliminates the need for physical hardware while reducing infrastructure costs. Its scalable nature allows for cost-effective resource utilization, while automated updates save on maintenance expenses.
Human-interactive workflows in Automation Studio make your life easier by blending automation with personal touchpoints. Imagine you're managing a project: the system can automatically update task statuses, but can ping you via email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams for approval before sending a progress report to stakeholders. You stay in control while the routine stuff gets handled automatically.
Data synchronization in Automation Studio ensures that your information is always up-to-date across all your apps and systems. Let's say you update a client's contact details in your CRM. This change is automatically reflected in your email marketing tool, Epicor system, and other apps you may use. No more toggling between apps or manual data entry to keep things consistent. With real-time syncing, you can trust that you're always working with the latest, most accurate data, freeing you to focus on more meaningful tasks.
These are prebuilt, documented recipes built by Epicor to cover common integration and automation requirements our customers will need, designed for their Epicor system. Templates include AP Invoice Approval and integrations to popular apps including Salesforce, BigCommerce, and SugarCRM.
If you have a trusted trading partner, you can create a custom and secure API call, just for them, to trigger a recipe for them to receive, for example, customer inventory lookup from your system. They can use any application on their end to call the API and send and receive the necessary parameters.
I am reviewing some activities in our SFMC instance that some previous coworkers built. In one automation activity, I am seeing an activity I can't find. I can't find the "Journey Entry" activity in Automation Studio Activities section. See screenshot.
I had the same question. I never saw the option to drag "Journey Entry" as an Automation Activity to drag over to step 2. I had luck with setting up the Automation Filter (step 1), then set up my Journey in Journey Builder to use that Automation as the Schedule. Once I activated the Journey and activated the automation, the Journey entry audience popped into the Automation automatically as Step 2. It never showed up as an option to drag over from the Activities section of the Automation. I hope this helps...

With automation studio 6 coming this summer, even GCC11 will be supported. (currently GCC6.3)
They also have put some work into using native C libraries as well. So I guess there will be even fewer restrictions using C in the future.
Hi, I have successfully build First process automation in UiPath course, it is giving output result as expected. Although the file path part is a bit different from the video instruction, I have managed to complete it with understanding after reading the posts from the community.
Journey Builder is the premier decision-making campaign sending and lifecycle management program for Marketing Cloud. While Automation Studio executes linearly step-by-step, Journey Builder can tackle changes to data in-flight and respond to actions, behavior, and engagement to receive the best possible message at the best possible time. Journey Builder can tackle SMS and email, in-app messaging, make data-driven decisions, and with Einstein Tools, target the best time and best saturation.
Automation Studio is best suited for repetitive actions that execute the same on a known cadence. An import every morning. Five filters that refresh every 2 hours. A monthly send to expired ticket holders with the audience built by queries. Things like that.
Journey Builder is best for long campaigns that take some finesse or for triggered sends via API or direct integration with Salesforce CRM. A welcome campaign that fires shortly after account creation or a send that automatically resends after 5 days to people who did not click the CTA, or maybe a heavily data-driven inquiry response that sends different creative based on what was picked from a radio-button list!
