MEETING EVERY NEED

Engineered for the future of process control

In cooperation with Statista, we surveyed our customers to find their most important requirements and demands for process control systems in a digital world.

View the survey

The process industry currently operates in a very complex environment, and the requirements for its control technology are correspondingly demanding. SIMATIC PCS neo is the intelligent response to this challenge: a fully web-based process control system with object-oriented data management.

Web-based for outstanding usability and efficiency

Are you seeking a way to more efficiently control your global engineering projects and the operation of your plants? No matter the location? And no matter what device you are using?

SIMATIC PCS neo creates the ideal conditions for doing this. With a central, object-oriented data management, this web-based innovation ensures that all participants always have direct access to consistent, reliable information so they can make the right decisions as quickly as possible. During development, we also focused on usability as well as on lean, secure and reliable administration.

Cybersecurity: a holistic security approach based on “defense-in-depth”

With SIMATIC PCS neo, various security measures are preconfigured right from the start to ensure plant security, network security and system integrity. Read the white paper written by ARC Advisory Group.
