Learn How zenon's Industrial Automation Solution is Right for Your Business

zenon 15 is all about IT/OT integration. Many gaps between the two worlds - Information Technology and Operation Technology - are closed with the new version. Data, its collection and further use, e.g. in sophisticated web applications, play a central role. The most important thing here is that all the necessary steps are covered within just one development environment. And all this with reliable security standards.

The highlights mentioned here are only an excerpt of what zenon 15 has to offer. Please refer to the detailed release notes for the complete list of new features.

Visualization and dashboards anywhere and at any time

The new zenon version places a large focus on the expansion of the Web Visualization Service. Some of the new extensions contribute to making the WVS even more user-friendly. For example, zenon 15 supports the display of filters in the Alarm Message List (AML) and the Chronological Event List (CEL). The “Extended Curve List” also provides more flexibility and a better overview.

A major innovation in zenon 15 is the possibility to use Batch Control in WVS. This supports the display and control of matrix recipes. Using Batch Control on the web has numerous advantages: maintenance and security are much simpler, and using it on the web makes it easier to install and roll out complex programs in batch production.

Software-defined automation with zenon Device Management

With its Device Management, the zenon software platform goes one step further in the direction of software-defined automation. Applications can be easily set up and executed on Linux controllers or in virtual environments.

Projects can be updated smoothly. The zenon Service Engine can be started, stopped or reloaded remotely.

Efficient deployment results from the simultaneous installation of the same project on several devices.

IT-OT integration – but done right

The innovations in zenon 15 build bridges between IT and OT technology in many areas. The first example of this is the extended and improved options for using OT data. One new feature is the OT data integration in Excel: Data from the production environment can be easily transferred from the Report Engine to Excel. This opens up the data world of zenon for further use in Excel. This also makes production data more easily accessible for people who are less familiar with OT matters.
