Software-defined Manufacturing

Software, not hardware – become PLC-independent

Run your factory like a data center and break free from the rigid processes of traditional production systems and heterogeneous system landscapes.

With software-defined manufacturing, you combine your IT with your OT and benefit from data-consistent manufacturing that is more agile, intelligent and cost-effective.

Agility in Production
Design manufacturing processes that can be quickly and dynamically adapted to changing production requirements.

Closing the talent gap
Modeling instead of coding: Plan and change the control behavior without in-depth programming knowledge.

Resource efficiency
Optimize your production and ensure resource-saving and more cost-effective manufacturing.

From traditional and rigid production to intelligent and AI-driven factories.


Automation for the Factory of the Future

Ascon Qube: Smart Factories driven by Digital Twins

Ascon Qube is an edge-to-cloud platform that allows you to model your manufacturing processes consistently and software-based while controlling them in real time with high-performance digital twins.

With Ascon Qube, you combine your IT with OT to create a digital cycle that enables data consistency across all planning and process levels.

Ascon Qube: Solution to your Problems

Solutions for your Industrial Automation – on a single Platform

Resolve production inefficiencies, find potential savings, increase overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Ascon Qube provides you with the right solutions to make your manufacturing processes more flexible, agile and resilient.

01.

Ascon Digital Planning

Optimize production planning and engineering processes and create a consistent data cycle across all project phases. Work with harmonized and processed data from various sources throughout the entire product development process.

02.

Ascon Automation

Model, adapt and execute processes and system logic based on bidirectional digital twins. Increase the flexibility and reliability of production through process orchestration and standardization.

03.

Ascon Digital Shadow

Complete storage and contextualization of all production data points for maximum data and process transparency. Benefit from process optimization, early error detection and prevention through data transparency.

04.

Ascon Industrial Metaverse Portal

3D collaboration, visualization and interaction with your real production systems in the virtual world. Benefit from shorter and more efficient planning cycles, remote access, faster time to market and reduced setup costs.

Data Consistency in your Factory

Pave the way for an intelligent Production

A production that is not or only partially digitized causes data disruptions. All steps of product development and production take place in silos, which means that few conclusions and improvements can be drawn. The results are long planning cycles, delayed machine set-ups and increased costs.

Ascon Qube ensures data-consistent planning and production, which enables digital automation as well as rapid optimization and adjustments of your production.

What would you
like to know?

In which way is the Ascon Systems technology a door opener to the Industrial Metaverse?

The term Industrial Metaverse primarily describes the use of virtual and augmented realities in industrial production. With our automation platform, we deliver a significant productivity factor in the manufacturing process of factories, right down to factory monitoring, control, and the smallest changes in the process. With our technology, the pure digital twins of a factory become real digital twins, which are not only depicted virtually and are therefore isolated from reality but can also directly control the real behavior of a factory in nearly real-time.

What is special about the Ascon Qube?

With our software, operational and value-added processes can be flexibly defined and reconfigured to then be executed in nearly real-time in the real environment – be it in production plants, the overall factory process, intralogistics, or in industrial components themselves. Our technology is independent of manufacturers and is available in the Cloud, on Prem, or on Edge.

What are the immediate business benefits of the automation platform Ascon Qube?

Companies can beat the shortage of IT professionals because even planning and operation experts who do not have IT or OT knowledge can define, test and execute changes at the process control level. There are also savings opportunities on many levels, such as implementation and change efforts, infrastructure, and operating costs. Changes to the process can be implemented more quickly and data can be used in context nearly in real-time, resulting in greater flexibility to respond more quickly to market changes.

What is meant by the “real” Digital Twins?

The digital twin is the heart of our technology. But it is not just a virtual image of a real existing system, as is often the case nowadays. With our Digital Twin, you can control the real production, completely without media breaks. It is driven by the configured services, which in turn ensure smooth, high-performance processing of all information controlled and processed.
