Limsophy module overview
Process-adaptive modules
In Limsophy, logic function units are combined into modules. They manage addresses, parameters, test equipment etc., for example. The standard functionality of the modules is mainly generic. In order to map the business processes with Limsophy, the modules are extended specifically for each customer. Limsophy modules are process adaptive but retain always their release capability. The modular technology is explained in detail in the menu item Solutions.
