Here's what we achieved in a recent project for the automotive industry:

1. DSL with Workflow Validation: Developing a domain-specific language (DSL) empowers end-users to create and manage workflows intuitively, without needing coding expertise.

2. Dynamic Expressions & Data Flow: Incorporating runtime-evaluated expressions adds greater flexibility to workflow execution, allowing for adaptive processes.

3. Workflow Timeout & Cancellation: Implementing timeout and cancellation features ensures efficient resource utilization and quick recovery from potential issues.

4. Workflow Closure Step: Adding a workflow closure step guarantees consistent environment states across PLCs, contributing to a reliable system.
