Configuration instead of programming: Fast & easy

Whether it’s engineering, recipe creation, or job management during runtime – you can configure everything intuitively via user-friendly interfaces. Powerful wizards help you to master complex tasks.

Seamless HMI integration

Powerful controls integrate seamlessly into your HMI interface. Thanks to extensive design options, they fully adapt to your UI concept, creating a functional, consistent design.

Scalable server backend

Supported by a scalable server architecture, PM‑CONTROL grows with your requirements – whether single-user or multi-user system. Powerful interfaces ensure seamless integration into planning systems.

Featured capabilities

Recipe management

PM‑CONTROL offers flexible recipe management that is seamlessly integrated into WinCC. Production setpoints are transferred to connected HMI systems in a controlled way, even with complex recipes and multiple targets. The integrated audit trail, electronic signatures and automatic versioning make PM‑CONTROL ideal for the regulated industry.

Planning of production orders

Production orders are transferred from your planning to PM‑CONTROL's flexible order planning via standardized interfaces. Alternatively, orders can be planned and executed completely autonomously in the SCADA system – you retain full control regardless of the availability of MES and ERP. The integrated planning overview provides a comprehensive outline directly in your HMI.

Modularly expandable

To comply with quality standards throughout the entire production process, PM‑CONTROL can supplement the management of setpoints with the batch-related recording of actual values from the production. The modular system concept around an open, central data platform provides the necessary leeway for future expansion.

Open and secure

Use PM‑CONTROL as an intelligent data platform to connect to external systems via REST API, OPC UA or MQTT. These enable flexible integration into MES or ERP systems and allow, for example, the creation of production orders and recipes. This ensures seamless end-to-end communication with automated workflows.
