“FrameworX is a fast-growing software platform that is important for students to know,” said Jeff L. Rankinen, associate professor of electronics and computer engineering technology. “For large systems, FrameworX is placed at the source of the data, where millions of data points may need to be collected per second. Then Ignition (software provided by Inductive Automation) is used to organize the data and create a dashboard. FrameworX works great with Ignition.”
The software is employed in several industry settings, including manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities, pharmaceuticals, transportation, and critical infrastructure.
In addition to being taught in Penn College classes such as Automation Concepts & Applications and Software Tools for the Engineering Technologist, Rankinen said students can use FrameworX in completing their senior projects.
Tatsoft is a member of the Visionary Society ($100,000-$499,999) on the college’s Donor Wall.
“Commitments from companies like Tatsoft are essential in helping to provide the resources that prepare Penn College students to meet the needs of industry,” said Justin W. Beishline, corporate relations officer. “We are very appreciative of Tatsoft’s support and dedication to our automation and electronics students.”
“FrameworX is a unified, modern engineering environment built on 30-plus years of real-world expertise and deployed across critical infrastructure around the world. There is simply nothing else like it in the industry. Its architecture eliminates the compromises that hold other platforms back, letting developers build, deploy and scale solutions with unmatched speed and elegance,” said Dave Hellyer, vice president of business development for Tatsoft. “For Penn College students, mastering FrameworX means entering the workforce with immediately relevant, globally sought-after skills – not just ready for the industry but ready to lead it.”
