Services & Products

Software and automation from a single source.

For more than 40 years, we have been connecting production operations end to end – from the ERP system down to the PLC machine control. Here you will find an overview of our services and our own software products MLogic, FLogic and CodeShuttle.

Services

What we do for you.

Custom software development

Tailor-made applications, designed precisely around your processes. We support your project all the way from requirements analysis and development through to productive use – including interfaces to ERP systems (e.g. SAP), databases and controllers, as well as maintenance and further development during ongoing operation.

  • .NET / C#
  • C++
  • Java
  • SQL
  • WinForms / WPF
  • OPC UA

Industrial automation & PLC programming

As a Siemens Solution Partner, we implement your automation based on Siemens SIMATIC S7 and TIA Portal: closed-loop control, dosing, positioning, material flow and visualisation. We are proficient in all common communication protocols and reliably migrate existing STEP 5/STEP 7 programs to the TIA platform.

  • SIMATIC S7
  • TIA Portal
  • Profinet
  • Profibus
  • Modbus
  • CANbus
  • OPC UA

Retrofit & plant modernisation

Avoid production downtime caused by obsolete components. With a retrofit, we modernise your plants – for example by migrating to the TIA platform, renewing the communication technology and replacing outdated operator panels (HMI). This lets you get the most out of your existing equipment and makes it future-proof.

Service, support & predictive maintenance

We support your plants throughout their entire life cycle: servicing and maintenance, analysis of actual process data and process simulation with real-time data. Digital process control and predictive maintenance enable you to identify problems before they lead to costly downtime.

Our software products.

Born out of more than 40 years of project experience – and proven in day-to-day production.

MES for process manufacturing

MLogic – the process management system

MLogic is our MES and process management system spanning multiple production halls, and the central application in process manufacturing. As a data hub, it links the ERP, MES and PLC levels into a seamless data flow: orders are imported automatically from the ERP system, recipes and bills of materials are enriched with machine-relevant data and scheduled into detailed machine scheduling according to your individual optimisation rules – for example to reduce changeover times. Once production is released, MLogic transfers the production data directly to the controller.

Modular range of functions

  • Order, recipe and bill of materials management
  • Production and sequence planning (detailed scheduling)
  • Visualisation, MDC/PDC and mobile devices
  • Quality inspection and LIMS integration
  • Complete batch traceability
  • ERP integration (e.g. SAP) and predictive maintenance
Compact order & plant management

FLogic – the lean solution

FLogic is the compact solution for order and plant management in individual production halls. It provides the essential functions for dosing and plant control, without the full scope of an MES spanning multiple halls.

Ideal if you …

  • want to digitalise specific plants or halls
  • are looking for a solution that is quick to introduce and easy to use
  • may want to extend to MLogic later on
Git version control for TIA Portal

CodeShuttle by IGRF

CodeShuttle finally brings Git to the PLC world. Using the official Openness interface, CodeShuttle connects to your Siemens TIA Portal and synchronises blocks, data blocks (DBs), UDTs, tag, watch and force tables as well as HMI elements bidirectionally into readable, versionable text files – with an automatic direction recommendation for each block.

  • Integrated diff viewer (side-by-side and inline)
  • Compile check before every sync – no broken state in the repository
  • Integration with WinMerge, Beyond Compare, KDiff3 or VS Code
  • Supports TIA Portal V14 SP1 to V21

Frequently asked questions

Answered in brief.

What is the difference between MLogic and FLogic?

MLogic is our MES and process management system spanning multiple production halls, with order, recipe and bill of materials management, detailed scheduling, quality inspection and batch traceability. FLogic is the compact solution for individual production halls, providing the essential functions of dosing and plant control – and it can be extended to MLogic later if required.

Can MLogic be connected to our ERP system?

Yes. MLogic automatically imports orders from the ERP system (e.g. SAP), enriches recipes and bills of materials with machine-relevant data and transfers the production data directly to the controller. Production progress and measured values are reported back in real time.

Can you migrate existing STEP 5 or STEP 7 programs to TIA Portal?

Yes. As a Siemens Solution Partner, we migrate existing STEP 5 and STEP 7 programs to the TIA platform and, where needed, renew communication technology and operator panels (HMI) – keeping your existing plant future-proof.

Which controllers and protocols do you work with?

Our focus is on Siemens SIMATIC S7 with TIA Portal (SCL, STL, LAD). For communication, we use Profinet, Profibus, OPC UA, Modbus, CANbus, Ethernet and serial interfaces, among others.

Which TIA Portal versions does CodeShuttle support?

CodeShuttle supports TIA Portal from V14 SP1 to V21. Full details are available at codeshuttle.de.

Do you only work for customers in Bremen?

No. We are based in Bremen, and our customers are located throughout Germany and elsewhere in Europe – for example in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. We have commissioned plants running our MES software as far away as China.

Which solution is right for you?

We offer no-obligation advice – from the initial idea to the plant in operation.
