.jpg) March 18, 2010 - Software Toolbox announced that its Symbol Factory.NET and Industrial Gadgets.NET graphics technologies have been integrated with new Pulse SCADA/HMI application software from AFCON Software and Electronics Ltd. The addition of Software Toolbox advanced graphics technologies enables engineers to select animated images from a library of more than 3,600 industrial and manufacturing objects to create custom control panels. "Because Pulse is based on the Microsoft .NET framework, Industrial Gadgets.NET and Symbol Factory.NET from Software Toolbox are natural complements to Pulse," said Orly Inbar, marketing director at AFCON. "AFCON customers have confirmed that the availability of Industrial Gadgets.NET objects significantly reduces engineering time, while providing strikingly realistic and state-of-the-art visualizations of real-life equipment. Engineers from Software Toolbox worked closely with the AFCON development team in making a smooth integration of their tools with Pulse." With AFCON's Pulse software, application engineers can work within a unified SCADA/HMI environment which now combines the powerful .NET graphics tools from Software Toolbox. Symbol Factory.NET allows engineers to use the built-in object browser to pick from a wide range of animated objects to create custom screens that address their specific operations responsibilities. The addition of the Industrial Gadgets.NET application enables users to select from analog and digital controls to create realistic industrial control user interfaces to view input and data controls. "The Software Toolbox object-oriented graphics components will enable engineers to rapidly build solutions for specific manufacturing and infrastructure requirements," said John Weber, president of Software Toolbox. "Symbol Factory.NET and Industrial Gadgets.NET capabilities will enhance an operator's ability to customize each process screen. The advantage of AFCON's Pulse application is that it allows users to incorporate software components from vendors such as Software Toolbox to extend an application's capabilities. Engineers can now spend less time creating and modifying HMI applications." ABOUT AFCON SOFTWARE AND ELECTRONICS AFCON Software and Electronics Ltd. is a fully owned subsidiary of the public company AFCON Industries Group (AIG).
