Continental AG deployed ICONICS GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA and Hyper Historian to support its DOPAC initiative for near real-time data collection, statistical process control, and production optimization. The pilot began in 2016 at the Puchov, Slovakia plant and targets 18 tire production sites worldwide. The system integrates with existing MES platforms and multiple PLC brands while providing redundant architecture, high-rate data compression, and web-based dashboards.

Key takeaways

Real-time data collection from production equipment enables SPC and continuous process improvement

Redundant architecture with data buffering supports high availability across global sites

Integration with existing MES and multi-vendor PLC environments reduces migration risk

High-rate historian compression and mapping improve analytics performance

Web-based HMI and light installation footprint simplify rollout to 20+ facilities
