MANUFACTURING SOFTWARE THAT FITS YOUR BUSINESS

A universal production control system – for standard solutions and customer-specific projects

Machine manufacturers and automation specialists face a key decision: develop control software in-house or leverage proven solutions already available on the market. The answer often depends on whether the system is standardised or customer-specific.

SOFLEX covers both scenarios. The production control system is modular, freely scalable, and manufacturer-independent. For standardised systems, it integrates out of the box. For customer-specific projects, proven software modules serve as the foundation for a tailored solution.

FAQ zum SOFLEX-Fertigungsleitsystem

Ein Fertigungsleitsystem ist eine Software zur Steuerung, Überwachung und Optimierung von Produktionsprozessen – speziell in flexiblen Fertigungsanlagen. Es verbindet Maschinen mit Systemen wie ERP, CAD/CAM und sorgt für einen reibungslosen Informationsfluss und effizientere Abläufe.

Das System organisiert den Werkstückdurchlauf und die Bereitstellung von Betriebsmitteln. Es steuert Bearbeitungsmaschinen, Transportgeräte und andere Anlagenkomponenten, aktiviert einzelne Prozessschritte (z. B. NC-Bearbeitung, Transporte) und liefert alle notwendigen Informationen zum Fertigungsprozess.

Zusätzlich übernimmt es Planungsfunktionen und erfasst Produktions- und Maschinendaten.

Vergleichbar ist ein Leitsystem mit dem „Gehirn“ einer Fertigungsanlage – es denkt mit und hält alles am Laufen.

Dank modularer Struktur und erprobter Standards ist die Einführung schrittweise möglich – ohne Produktionsstillstand. In der Regel kann die Anlage während der Implementierung weiterlaufen.

Die Kernfunktionen des SOFLEX-Fertigungsleitsystems im Überblick:

Feinplanung und Auftragssteuerung
Ablaufsteuerung für automatisierte Fertigungszellen
Bereitstellung von Fertigungsdaten in Echtzeit (z.B. Auftragsdaten, Arbeitspläne, Werkstückdaten, …)
Organisation der Betriebsmittelbereitstellung (z. B. Werkzeuge, NC-Daten, Vorrichtungen, …)
Erfassung von Maschinen- und Betriebsdaten (MDE/BDE)

Ja. Das System ist vollständig herstellerunabhängig und lässt sich in nahezu jede Maschinen-, Roboter- oder Steuerungsumgebung integrieren.
