Seamlessly Integrate Hardware and Software
The integration of hardware and software shows the full power of WinCC Unified, because what has been developed once, can simply be reused as needed. In this way, standardized visualization concepts are consistently created for all applications – regardless of the hardware used.
In addition, with WinCC Unified View of Things the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller can be used for visualization or the WinCC Unified System can be used as an app for the Industrial Edge infrastructure.
The latest technology and proven expertise
Based on web technologies such as HTML5, SVG and JavaScript, WinCC always gives the best usability, regardless of the device used. WinCC Unified enables authorized operators to access the system via any current web browser – without the need to install separate plug-ins.
Simple, continuous scalability
From the control panel directly on the machine to the complex PC-based solutions: SIMATIC WinCC Unified offers a wide range of options for industry-specific requirements and can be utilized for user-specific applications with its open interfaces. Thanks to new technologies and its openness, data can be more easily exchanged from WinCC Unified with other systems.
Runs anywhere, any time
The technologies used ensure maximum flexibility in the choice of the runtime environment. WinCC Unified is available for different runtime environments. In addition to established Panel- and PC- systems, WinCC Unified can also be used in future in the Industrial Edge environment. WinCC Unified View-of-Things simplifies the creation of web screens for the SIMATIC S7-1500 web server in the TIA Portal.
Increase Productivity with SIMATIC WinCC
Efficiency in Engineering and Runtime
Intelligent tools for efficient engineering:
SIMATIC WinCC supports short Time-to-Market when building new plants and achieves a minimum of downtime when doing plant modifications because of its efficient engineering tools.
Efficient operations management – the WinCC Runtime functionality:
To ensure the highest possible productivity it has to be possible to make prompt, target-oriented decisions regarding process optimization at all levels of a company. This requires an integrated flow of information across all operating levels and locations. SIMATIC WinCC provides high transparency and the basis for process optimization. The intelligent use of information improves the processes in the company for a fast return on investment. This reduces costs, avoids waste, improves the utilization of production facilities and ultimately guarantees better efficiency and cost effectiveness for the company.
From single-user system to web-based solution for all technologies and industries
To be able to meet growing requirements, the visualization must be expandable at any time without causing technology incompatibilities or requiring completely new configurations. Investment protection is a top priority.
SIMATIC WinCC provides the required integrated scalability, from the small single-user solution to the client/server solution and operator stations on the web. Redundancy solutions for highest availability and security can be built up as well. In addition to scalable configurations, WinCC options and AddOns offer customer-fit extensions for technological and industry specific solutions.
Future proof due to innovative solutions
Thanks to innovative technology, all important information is consistently available – rapidly, flexibly and safely. SIMATIC WinCC V7 thus eases production's intuitive operation and monitoring – also remotely.
Benefit from information provision anytime and anywhere with mobile SCADA solutions – also with available tablet or smartphone hardware. The application of multitouch gestures in industrial environments opens the door to modern operating concepts.
Vertical integration
Bidirectional flow of information from shop floor to top floor. A wide range of specific and generic communication channels and protocols gives a powerful and flexible ways to connect WinCC to a variety of OT devices and forward data to other IT applications e.g., MQTT Cloud (Siemens MindSphere, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services)
High performance, latest technology, easy data exchange to the IT level. Leverage valuable data from production management via an open bidirectional REST interface. WinCC/IndustrialDataBridge is the flexible information hub between automation and the IT world. It reduces the complexity of interfaces and data formats.
Power-Flo Technologies is proud to support Siemens as they create technology to transform the every day for everyone. The integration of hardware and software through WinCC Unified showcases a powerful and versatile solution for modern industrial needs. By enabling the reuse of developed visualization concepts across various hardware, and leveraging advanced web technologies like HTML5, SVG, and JavaScript, WinCC Unified offers unparalleled usability and flexibility. The integrated hardware and software with the WinCC Unified System drives efficiency, innovation, and profitability for industrial operations.
