The central interface for machine networking

Trendsetting software platform

Schäfer Connect is the modern solution for integrating Schäfer machines into customer production and company control systems such as MES or ERP. Here, the data is provided via an OPC UA interface and allows bidirectional communication, regardless of the design of the machinery.

Using an intuitive web dashboard, Schäfer Connect allows you to exchange production data with networked machines from anywhere and to coordinate user rights. Connect thus helps modernize your production on the way to the smart factory and makes produced quality transparent and traceable for you.

One-time installation, easy extension

Customer-specific integrations and communication workflows are created once in Connect so that they can be applied to additional machines. The integration of any Schäfer machine is thus automatically handled by Schäfer Connect in the prepared configuration.

Security through separate networks

For the realization of solutions with the goal of the intelligent factory, the networking of the productive area is an important basis. As a separate network, Schäfer Connect provides the secure environment for your machinery in addition to the usual infrastructure. Access directly to the machine from the company network and from outside is prevented.

Licensing of the software

The functional range of Schäfer Connect is continuously developing. Starting with one-time, permanent machine licenses, function extensions can be added as needed. The basic version includes the standard functions, which can be configured via a web dashboard. Various extensions are optionally available.

Innovation through commitment

In summary, Connect provides you with the following advantages:

  • Machine networking to customer IT systems
  • Actual monitoring of wire processing machines
  • Production messages about malfunctions and machine status
  • Low installation effort
  • Cost-effective license variants
  • Extensible range of functions
