Questions? Here are the answers.
Are you interested in the SOFLEX production control system or are you already implementing it with our team? Then you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions here - compact, understandable and practical.
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.
Our software is designed to maximize the productivity of production systems with small batch sizes and high workpiece variance.
The main functions of a SOFLEX control system can be subdivided into:
- Organization of the production process (detailed planning, calculation of tool requirements, provision of NC programs and production documents, ...)
- Control of automated processes (automatic workpiece and resource supply, start of machining, ...)
- Recording of all relevant machine and operating data
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.
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)
