Why SIMATIC AX WinCC Unified Elements?

Unified Elements, based on VS Code, brings modern IT practices such as Git‑driven version control together with AI‑powered engineering into automation, making engineering faster, simpler, and more reliable. By reducing manual effort, improving collaboration, and enabling consistent, high‑quality workflows, it standardizes engineering processes and accelerates digital transformation across projects.

Work reliably and with speed

Boost efficiency with fast turnaround times. Built‑in version control and Git integration support seamless collaboration and controlled changes, while CI/CD pipelines enable faster iterations and high‑quality releases.

Work smarter with IT-like engineering

Unlock intelligent development with AI‑integration to automate configuration, improve precision and consistency, and deliver solutions that adapt quickly to changing requirements.

Work the way that suits you

Empower yourself to work the way that delivers the best results for every task through flexible engineering, while open architecture enables easy customization and seamless integration to reduce complexity, costs, and project time

Featured capabilities

State-of-the-art development

Accelerate engineering projects with a high‑performance approach for each task, using visual‑based and code‑based engineering individually or together, supported by AI. A fully text‑based, human‑ and machine‑readable structure forms the foundation for AI‑assisted engineering, enabling efficient library creation and seamless integration of advanced components.
