FAQs about the SOFLEX Production Control System

A production control system is software for controlling, monitoring and optimizing production processes - especially in flexible production facilities. It connects machines with systems such as ERP, CAD/CAM and ensures a smooth flow of information and more efficient processes.

The system organizes workpiece throughput and the provision of operating resources. It controls processing machines, transport devices and other system components, activates individual process steps (e.g. NC processing, transports) and provides all the necessary information on the production process.

It also performs planning functions and records production and machine data.

A control system can be compared to the “brain” of a production plant - it thinks for itself and keeps everything running.

SOFLEX has been one of the leading suppliers of production control systems since 1984.

With over 40 years of experience in automation and digitalization, SOFLEX delivers manufacturer-independent, tailor-made solutions for modern production.

As a specialized system house, we plan, control and visualize flexible production systems - in over 2,000 installations worldwide.

The core functions of the SOFLEX production control system at a glance:

  • Detailed planning and order control
  • Sequence control for automated production cells
  • Provision of production data in real time (e.g. order data, work plans, workpiece data, ...)
  • Organization of the provision of operating resources (e.g. tools, NC data, devices, ...)
  • Acquisition of machine and operating data (MDE/BDE)
