Industrial Automation - User Terminology Survey (UX research)

In our pursuit to create a better coding experience for automation engineers, we’ve noticed that some terms and expressions are used interchangeably to describe different concepts, while other times a single term can refer to multiple things. To address these inconsistencies your help is needed!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you could take a few moments to complete this survey. Your input will help us understand why these discrepancies exist and guide us in unifying and defining terminology in a more logical, cohesive, and scalable way.

I filled out the survey today. There are a lot of tricky questions and considerations that you have to understand first. Everyone uses the same terms with different meanings, so it’s obvious that team-oriented project work is tricky from the start when it comes to communication. As a solution, I can imagine a workspace that is self-explanatory and using terms that are known and have the same meaning throughout the community is a far-reaching but worthwhile goal.
It’s worth spending 15 minutes on it.

Hi Dzenis, can you share with us summary of your survey?
