5 types of software that modern industry cannot exist without

Software or systems developed specifically to meet the needs of industries are known as industrial software or industrial software solutions. Such software is used to monitor, control and optimize complex industrial processes and equipment, allowing for automation and efficiency of processes, data analysis and decision-making. Below is an overview of the most common types of software used in industry and their features.

SCADA – for parameter monitoring

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system allows real-time monitoring and control of industrial equipment and analysis of parameter drops and event history. It is used to monitor processes in manufacturing, energy management, water supply and treatment, transportation and other industrial areas.

SCADA systems allow real-time monitoring of various parameters such as temperature, pressure, speed, energy use and other process data. Historical data can be viewed in graph or tabular formats. The software also stores and archives the data, which is useful for analyzing process performance.

Axioma servisas provides SCADA system design, installation, upgrade and maintenance services for companies in various industries. Experts with many years of experience use only certified software from official partners such as AVEVA (formerly Wonderware), Siemens, Elutions and others.

PLC – for process control

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming is an important part of industrial automation. PLCs are specialized controllers used in industrial systems to control the various functions of devices and equipment.

PLC programs define the control logic, which includes various logical operators, conditions, loops and other elements, and allow processes to be controlled according to defined requirements. They are applicable in the energy, manufacturing, water, chemical and other industrial sectors.

Axioma Service specialists provide PLC programming, installation, upgrade and maintenance services. We work with control equipment from official partners such as Siemens, Schneider, Rockwell and Beckhoff.

MES – for manufacturing process control

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is designed to help you manage and monitor your production processes more efficiently – with real-time monitoring of production lines, product quantity, quality and other important data.

MES software can be used to manage product allocation, order management, priorities, workflow and more. This helps to reduce defective goods, improve product quality and reduce production costs.

ERP – for resource planning

An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) management system is designed to manage a company’s resources, processes and operations efficiently. Such systems allow you to centralize and manage a wide range of business functions: finance, human resources, supply, production, sales, customer service, project management and many other areas.

ERP integrates different company systems and processes into one centralized platform, which makes the dissemination of information between different departments much faster.

ERP software can help to improve a company’s operational efficiency, reduce costs and increase its competitiveness in the market.

IoT – for data collection and processing

Industrial software includes the development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Such products allow real-time monitoring, data collection and remote control of industrial equipment and processes, thereby improving operational efficiency and predictive maintenance. Axioma servisas has developed two such platforms – Flexi and Rubisafe.

Flexi is a platform for collecting, storing and viewing data. The solution developed by the Axioma servisas team is tailored to an unlimited number of IoT use cases: from monitoring factory devices to complex solutions for smart cities. All data is stored in the Flexi data centre.

Rubisafe is a platform for collecting and processing data from metering devices. It is used by Axioma servisas Remote Scanning department to collect and process data from more than 500,000 hot and cold water and heat meters.
