User friendliness as a central component of ergonomics
An automation project not only needs to be functional, it is also expected to provide users with the optimum level of support for their job.

Outstanding usability with zenon
“What you see is what you get” starts in zenon Engineering Studio. Objects that you generate in the Engineering Studio appear exactly as they would in the finished project. Thanks to the practical zenon Styles, you only need to define object properties once before then transferring them throughout the project with just a single click of the mouse. You can adjust your designs from a central location, making it easy to apply consistent rendering throughout the entire project and beyond.
