MCS – Matrix Control System
One of the key challenges in modern production environments is the holistic digital networking of highly flexible robotic cells, manufacturing systems and automated guided vehicles, while mapping all company processes in a consistent digital structure. The Matrix Control System (MCS) was developed precisely for this purpose and supports companies on their path toward the Smart Factory.
MCS covers the entire production process – from master data management of articles and manufacturing programs to the planning of manual and automated process steps, as well as detailed diagnostics down to individual production systems. In addition, intralogistics, warehouse management and energy management are integral parts of the system. This allows MCS to go far beyond the functionality of a conventional manufacturing control center.
All processes are centrally coordinated, transparently visualized and monitored in real time. This creates a continuous digital process chain that reliably controls both manual and automated workflows.
Thanks to its modular architecture, the Matrix Control System can be flexibly adapted to existing requirements and processes. The system can be introduced and expanded step by step – from individual applications to a fully digitalized factory – enabling a scalable and future-proof Smart Factory implementation.
