      That is not really an option.

      If I was advising someone building a new plant today, I’d tell them to go European.

      Probably Siemens for the most part, Schneider is also an option, but their engineering environment sucks more than Siemens.

      Unfortunately Rockwell has the best software, from a software engineering point of view. No serious open source options in the industrial space yet.

        If people are willing to become dependent on a particular vendor for their survival they get no sympathy from me.
