VEC Technology implemented GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA with BridgeWorX, ReportWorX, and WebHMI to manage eight Modicon PLCs, five Delta RMC controllers, and 1,200 tags per molding station. The system replaced multiple automation interfaces with a single vendor platform, enabling 3D visualization of CAD data, native SQL Server integration, and long-term parameter archiving for warranty records. Staff required to maintain the system dropped from eight to two employees.

Key takeaways

GENESIS64 unified HMI/SCADA, data bridging, and reporting across two manufacturing sites with eight molding stations

System handles 1,200 tags per station while interfacing with Modicon PLCs, Delta controllers, and multiple sensors

3D GraphWorX64 visualizations fully utilize existing CAD data for equipment monitoring

BridgeWorX eliminated custom VBA scripts; single SQL Server database replaced fragmented logging

Maintenance staff reduced from eight to two; future expansion includes post-mold quality data capture
