Niagara Workbench

Workbench is where Niagara engineers spend their day – and most of them are doing something repetitive that a tool could do faster. Software Pile builds Workbench extensions and engineering utilities that turn hours of clicking into minutes of review.

Tools We Build

  • Bulk operations – mass tagging (including Project Haystack), renaming to naming standards, point re-parenting, and property edits across whole station trees
  • Station audits – automated checks against your engineering standards: orphaned points, missing histories, alarm classes without routing, license headroom
  • Custom views and managers – purpose-built Workbench views for tasks your team does constantly that the stock views make slow
  • Deployment utilities – checklist-driven station commissioning, config export/compare between stations, and pre-cutover validation
  • Migration helpers – inventory and readiness tooling for AX-to-N4 moves

Why Integrators Commission These

The math is simple: a tool that saves each engineer an hour a week pays for itself across a team in a quarter – and it encodes your standards, so quality stops depending on who did the work. Tools are built as proper signed modules, versioned, and documented for your engineering group. White-label delivery for integrators is standard.

Start With the Bottleneck

Describe the task your engineers grumble about – what it involves, how often, on which Niagara versions. We will tell you what a tool would look like and what it would save.
