Process visualization for all industries and technologies

WinCC is designed on a non technology-and industry-specific basis, it is modular and you can extend it in a flexible way;
WinCC makes possible both demanding single-user applications in mechanical engineering as well as complex multi-user solutions or even distributed systems including several servers and clients - also internet-based - in plant visualization .
WinCC combines both production and process automation - numerous references across any number of applications and branches of industry prove this.
WinCC has established as an industry standard in the field of process visualization, no matter if you look at it as an autonomous SCADA-System (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) or the HMI component  of Control systems like SIMATIC PCS 7 or Spectrum Power CC for energy management.

A large number of WinCC Options and Add-ons allows industry-specific solution, e.g. in pharmaceutical industry or water treatment applications.

Process visualization for global deployment

WinCC's configuration interface was designed from the ground up for deployment on an international basis: you can switch between German, English, French, Spanish and Italian at the push of a button .
If you use the ASIA-Version of WinCC you can change between one of four Asian languages: Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean , Japanese and English. The texts of the Runtime Application can be edited and displayed in any language you like. This means that you can use the same visualization solution on several target markets.

Process visualization for any company

All of the essential communication channels for connecting to the SIMATIC S5/ S7/ 505 Controllers, and for AllenBradley Ethernet IP and Modubus TCP/IP and cross-manufacturer channels such as PROFIBUS/PROFINET and OPC are included in the delivery kit of WinCC. Because every controller manufacturer also provides related OPC servers, almost no limits are placed on the coupling capabilities of WinCC.

SIMATIC WinCC integrates powerful, scalable data archiving on the basis of the Microsoft SQL Server in the basic system, which you can use as a central information hub. Open interfaces and options for effective IT & Business Integration form the basis for Plant Intelligence. This also provides a connection to Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP).
