Even smarter thanks to new software functions

While digitisation provides companies with a number of opportunities, it also poses a number of challenges. For example, supply chains and solution offerings have to be reconsidered to ensure their continued success in the long term. zenon software is making an important contribution to establishing smart and integrated processes.

COPA-DATA is now presenting zenon as a software platform. Alongside zenon’s familiar strengths, the platform is now also offering new application templates, including complete project components such as visualisation, symbols, calculation logic, and analyses, thereby boosting efficiency. From data capture and machine operation right through to business intelligence, zenon provides an even more comprehensive solution to power digital transformation.

COPA-DATA will also be showcasing an integrated development tool in the form of its straton industrial software based on IEC 61131-3 programming languages (ST, IL, FBD, SFC, LD). Users can benefit from a variety of configuration and programming options in the area of industrial automation.

Experience manufacturing and the city of the future today
Another key focus will be on the concept of the smart city. COPA-DATA will be demonstrating how smart networking of the functions of the city of the future can be achieved – that is, through intelligent data capture and processing. The company will also be presenting its workflow management solution, which facilitates the formulation of smarter production steps. The assistance system also boosts efficiency and reduces errors through its intuitive digital user guidance.

This year, COPA-DATA will be joined at the exhibition by the following partner companies: Actemium Cegelec, CaderaDesign, KÖHL Maschinenbau AG, KROPF Solutions, Maschinenfabrik Gustav Eirich, and SABO Mobile IT.
