Asingle 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.

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...

Itential Projects are collaborative workspaces for teams to build and share workflows and assets, organized into a logical hierarchy. Projects allow teams to consolidate all assets needed for a given use case, modular library, or any grouping they choose, making it easier to collaborate efficiently. Access can be granted to the entire Project at once, and a Project can be saved and exported as one file. In addition, Projects can directly integrate with Git repositories, enabling teams to leverage version control features and integrate Projects into existing development processes.
Orchestrate operations tasks at your own pace with pass, fail, and revert options. Easily add manual tasks where needed to workflows and always know the status of your completed and running workflows at any given point.
Securely publish and share network workflows to be utilized by other team members and consumed by other platforms. Published workflows appear in a self-service catalog within Operations Manager within the platform or can be quickly integrated into other self-service platforms like ServiceNow.
Workflows can also be scheduled to run at specific intervals or associated with API endpoints for integration into processes like CI/CD pipelines or called by other platforms.
How Itential Helps NetDevOps Teams to Expose & Deliver Self-Service Network Automations
Itential Automation Studio is an application that enables network practitioners with no programming experience to quickly build powerful end-to-end workflows for network automation and orchestration in a low-code, drag-and-drop canvas. Within the platform, customers have the ability to download from a freely available library of 100+ pre-built use cases, adapters, and transformations to help teams run their first workflows within days instead of months.
Workflows are built in Automation Studio using a low-code, drag-and-drop canvas. API integrations with different IT systems and networking controllers are presented as tasks that can be dropped onto the canvas with logical paths and operations, linking tasks together into a logical workflow. Automation Studio includes the ability to build pre-check and post-check templates, input validation forms and data transformations, and use these in the automation workflow. A background in programming is not necessary to use Automation Studio.
Yes, the ability to run separate, distinct workflows as a child job is available within a parent workflow. This makes it possible to build modular workflows that focus on a specific function, like opening a change request ticket in an ITSM, and reusing that as a child job in other workflows. This allows multiple teams to work within Automation Studio to build and manage automations that are specific to their domain. Network teams can focus on building automations related to networking tasks and leverage workflows that another team builds and maintains for processes like opening and updating change request tickets, or communications notifications to different teams.
Yes, Itential supports closed-loop automation with event triggers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, NETCONF, etc.) or through API webhook triggers to start any workflow. Any data made available through these triggers is available to be used within your workflow or as input to any pre-existing automation script (BASH, Python, etc.) or Ansible Playbook.
