E3 has many new and exclusive features
that make it much more powerful and versatile than
any other software in this market
E3 Studio: a unique tool
for creating and managing
your projects. A modern,

E3 Server: the application
execution element. E3
Server is responsible for
task execution and data
management within your
project. Common tasks
may consist of data
acquisition with control
devices, interpreting data
and executing supervisory
control decisions,
exchanging information
with commercial
databases or ERP systems
and managing standby
units.
E3 Viewer: the client
utility provides the
primary user interface to
the E3 Server. E3 Viewer
may be located on the
same system as the E3
Server for smaller, stand-
alone applications or many
Viewers may run from
independent PC’s,
connected to the E3
Server via networks or the
Internet, to accommodate
larger distributed projects.
E3 makes total integration to the Internet possible,
bringing key advantages such as cost reduction,
better process adaptation and greater product competitiveness
