About¶
In the context of project work, many programs and scripts are developed by-and-by for similar tasks. However, the differences are normally too large in order to simply reuse them in other projects.
Digital Process Factory — or short DPF — solves this dilemma. DPF provides an environment in which you arbitrarily combine small working units which implement only one task each. This way, you can cope with complex projects as well.
DPF has many advantages:
- Due to the clear functionality and definite interfaces, working units can easily be reused in other projects. Thus, you avoid repeated development effort.
- DPF is a stable frame around the individual modules. It provides a unique logging and error handling.
- You increase the reliability because you can access working units which have already been approved and used in practice.
- Due to the construction kit principle, you can realize prototypes very quickly.
- New working units or customizations of existing working units can be integrated autonomously by the project staff on site.
- Due to the modularity, you can expand the existing processes afterwards without high expenses.
