With Automation Platform.Next, Progea offers an open and modular software platform for operating and monitoring all industrial processes and for collecting and evaluating this process data. The platform meets the requirements for data acquisition, I/O server, logging, visualization, geo-localization, evaluation and reporting. Plant intelligence solutions that interact with production control systems can also be implemented. Integrated components include solutions for control via soft PLC, for alarm management, downtime analyses as well as visualization and operation via the web. The modular architecture is open for the integration of own, already implemented function modules or those of specialized third-party providers. This makes the solution scalable and customizable. Even complex projects can be implemented in the intuitive configuration environment.
