SAXCS is the new system control approach. It is hardware independent, flexible, and ideally suitable for small and medium sized series. Original Equipment Manufacturers can choose from many solutions to help them reduce cost of ownership for their customers. An increasingly popular solution is to make use of model based design of the control tasks in their equipment. Today’s design tools allow complete simulation and testing of the control design  before it is transferred automatically into an embedded design i.e. software code. CCM worked out this approach to an industrial level, with proven functionality, and a number of tested hardware components. This technique is now accessible to OEM companies that build small and medium sized series, so they can take advantage of the flexibility and hardware independency of the SAXCS approach, and profit from development cost reduction, hardware cost reduction, and faster time to market.
