Learn from our use cases

SIMATIC PCS neo addresses these critical challenges through three strategic use cases that transform plant operations.

SIMATIC PCS neo feature Standardization & Modularization

Standardization & modularization

SIMATIC PCS neo offers pre-configured blueprints, modular equipment, and standardized workflows, enabling operators to build from proven components instead of engineering each solution from scratch. This approach significantly reduces bottlenecks and simplifies plant expansions.

SIMATIC PCS neo feature Session-based engineering

Session-based engineering

SIMATIC PCS neo enables seamless real-time collaboration for distributed teams, OEMs, and integrators via cloud-based multi-user management and version control. Virtual commissioning and digital twin capabilities allow thorough pre-deployment testing for conflict-free development.

SIMATIC PCS neo protects your plant with a holistic, defense-in-depth cybersecurity concept

Cybersecurity

SIMATIC PCS neo protects water plants with a defense-in-depth cybersecurity concept. It complies with IEC 62443, offers network blueprints and OT/IT security with SCALANCE products. Layered protection from field devices to networks ensures reliable, compliant operation against cyber threats.

Minimize plant downtime

Unplanned downtime in water plants can lead to environmental violations and emergency overflow situations. SIMATIC PCS neo shifts from reactive maintenance to predictive maintenance, addressing issues before they cause failures.

Achieve sustainability goals

Water plants are energy-intensive and must reach energy neutrality by 2045 and climate neutrality by 2050. SIMATIC PCS neo makes energy use transparent and enables data-driven optimization of treatment processes.
