Question 1
Explain in your own words the capabilities of the software. Have there been any success
stories of companies using it? Are there similar products from competitors and how do these
compare as far as capabilities are concerned?
There are capabilities of the Simatic IT Preactor which make it different from the other
products in the market. We start with the enhanced power to perform scheduled on time. This
capability enables the preactor to improve its performance in all aspects of the procreator. Next,
the initialization process embedded in every module is faster and easy (Leinen, 2017). This
reduces the time wasted by the users waiting for the session to launch. Additionally, there is a
decline in the time used in importing or exporting data. The scheduling process, especially with
the broad set of data, has been significantly simplified by use of the Simatic IT Preactor. The
consolidation of the calendar periods within the sequencer in the system further works towards
enhancing performance. This has been identified to be a cause of the decrease in the number of
processed events at a given point in time.
Additionally, the IT Preactor has been linked with a great deal in the improvement of user
experience (Leinen, 2017). Evidence of the improved user experience vests upon the rendering
process which is 100 times faster in spite of the fact that the overall appearance has been
improved significantly. The “scroll-to-zoom” feature is another evidence of the new capabilities
of the It Preactor. There is horizontal and vertical panning of the system which further works as
an improvement in the user experience. The accent bars for late operations have been tailored to
improve the user experience further. The security of the user has been enhanced significantly
with the use of either the primary or windows authentication or both. The logs for the users as
well as their roles can be defined in the IT Preactor. For companies which need to increase their
effectiveness, profits and customer experience, the new IT Preactor 12 comes along with the
Preactor 400 GMPS. Similarly, Preactor 12 comes along with the advanced planning
functionality. There is the finite and infinite mode or planning in terms of days, weeks or months
(Leinen, 2017). Users can also apply the combination of advanced planning using the three
techniques. Subsequently, the use of the advanced planning system with the scheduling system
enables companies to be more productive than before. Another advantage which is associated

with the capability of the system vests on the fact that it does not do away with the existing
system. Instead, it acts as a compliment, facilitator who works alongside the current system for
better results (Leinen, 2017).
In IT and technological development programs, it is apparent that the success is measured
not only by the units of the products manufactured but also due to the significance and relevance
at the workplace where the product has been tested and deemed to improve the productivity. The
case is not different for Sematic IT Preactor. After its inception and inauguration, it made a debut
to the market which is highly competitive owing to the high number of companies producing
similar technology. These companies have not been silent, and they have stepped forward to
testify their experience with the Sematic IT Preactor. One among these is these companies is
Takasago Chemical Sector. “Sima...
