CODESYS ® is the leading manufacturer-independent IEC 61131-3 automation software for engineering control systems.

CODESYS in the AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

One single Software Suite for all automation production processes

The CODESYS Software Suite is used in high-performance production processes

One of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving sectors in the economy today is the automotive industry. During the last years, automation has shaped the industry - from manufacturing and supply chain management, vehicle design and vehicle operation to electric vehicles, auto- nomous mobility, and battery charging stations.

Everything in the extensive car production process and machinery itself needs to be done in the most economical, fastest, safest, and most efficient way as possible. High-performance automation perfectly tailored to multiple different car production processes, sustainability, resilient flexibility, fast and high-performance control and quality control as well as the ability to plan, manage, and monitor a large number of potentially interdependent processes are crucial.

Today’s car factories are having many challenges at the same time. In order to master these challenges with ever shorter product-, technology-, and market cycles, car factories will increasingly transform themselves into smart factories. CODESYS is the right partner for the automotive industry. CODESYS is a powerful hardware manufacturer-independent and operating system-independent IEC 61131-3 development environment which integrates the entire software side of automation including Soft PLC, robotics, motion, drives, CNC, communication, IIoT, redundancy, visualization, safety, and measurement technology. The integration of all control functions into a single software platform ensures perfect synchronization of all processes, highly precise and efficient production processes, and a fast software-based machine transformation.

 

ADVANTAGES

  • Scalable and agile operations
    CODESYS Virtual Control SL enables manufacturers to easily scale their operations by adding or removing containers as required. It also facilitates the development of new applications or updates without disrupting production processes. Adapting to new changing conditions is simplified by using microservices and updating operating parameters in software industrial automation and control systems.
     
  • Increased security    
    Removing discrete hardware from the factory floor minimizes the potential to gain unauthorized access to manufacturing assets and processes. By separating networks and implementing security measures at the virtualization layer, manufacturer can minimize the risk.
     
  • Improved disaster recovery and redundancy
    CODESYS Virtual Control SL allows for efficient redundancy, backup, replication, and restoration of containers, making disaster recovery planning and execution more streamlined. It enables manufacturers to recover from system failures or disasters, reducing downtime and minimizing any impact more quickly on production.
     
  • Better sustainability
    Consolidation of compute and storage resources into a set of central services helps reduce the total energy requirements. In addition, easier access to analyze process data can help   increase efficiencies, reduce waste, and lower energy consumption.
     
  • Testing and development
    CODESYS Virtual Control SL provides an ideal environment for testing and development activities. Manufacturers can create virtual replicas of their production systems for testing new software, configurations, or system updates, ensuring they do not impact the actual production environment.
