STIWA Shopfloor Software goes beyond traditional MES solutions by working directly at the machine and control level. It can read PLC data in real time without requiring middleware. This deep integration ensures high-quality data acquisition without delays, making it ideal for analysis and optimization.

Advantage: Customers get a detailed and real-time data foundation, enabling precise production control, error analysis, and process improvements.

STIWA doesn't just focus on visualizing production data; it leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to provide deep insights. The software automatically detects anomalies, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities, offering actionable recommendations.

Example: AI can predict machine failures, reduce rework defect rates by up to 30%, and adaptively optimize processes.

Advantage: Customers can increase productivity, minimize downtime, and reduce costs through data-driven optimization.

The software is highly flexible and can be integrated into existing production lines (Brown-Field) as well as new, highly connected manufacturing setups (Green-Field). Its modular architecture allows seamless connection to ERP, MES, CAQ, or machine control systems.

Example: Older machines without modern IT interfaces can be integrated via retrofit solutions or IoT adapters, while highly automated systems communicate natively with the software.

Advantage: Companies can digitize step by step without large investments in new machinery while benefiting from modern analysis and optimization tools.

STIWA Shopfloor Software is modular in design, allowing it to adapt to different company sizes and requirements—from single machines to complex, globally connected production networks. Companies can start with selected modules and gradually expand the solution without the need to replace the entire system.

Example: A customer can initially implement real-time monitoring and later add AI-driven optimization or predictive maintenance without requiring a system overhaul.

Advantage: The software grows with business needs, ensuring investment security and keeping companies technologically up to date with continuous advancements.
