COPA-DATA GmbH software

zenon is a software platform that makes the engineering and automated operation of manufacturing and infrastructure equipment incredibly easy. Whether working in manufacturing or in the energy industry, zenon can help you reach and sustain your operational goals.

The modern manufacturing industry is a dynamic environment where information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) intersect. Today`s Internet of Things (IoT) sensors have made it possible to gather and analyze more data than ever before, yet parsing and using raw, unstructured data can be challenging for traditional database programs built to manage relationships. As a result, demand has grown for tools capable of meeting the specific process data collection, archival and analysis needs conventional databases can`t fulfill.

Manufacturing and energy companies have an abundance of plant data available to them, including data about energy usage, physical assets, production processes and business management. However, insufficient recording, lack of communication and inadequate data acquisition software can all make collecting and processing this data difficult. zenon is a software platform designed to address these challenges and improve data acquisition for factories and utilities.

Manufacturing and energy companies continuously generate large amounts of data from their devices, processes and people. As operations become digitalized and Internet of Things (IoT) devices become more central to production, the amount of incoming data is only growing, making managing that data increasingly difficult. To make smarter decisions and remain competitive, your company needs to use data effectively. zenon is a software platform designed to help you turn your industrial data into valuable, actionable insights.

Energy Data Management System in compliance with ISO 50001:2011. An energy management system is efficient, if energy data is acquired automated, presented clearly and if it can be analysed easily. In this way, saving potentials can be recognized and a continuous improvement in accordance with the PDCA model is possible. The reporting and HMI / SCADA software system zenon complies with the requirements of the TÜV Süd Standard “Efficient Energy Data Management” and so it meets the requirements of chapter 4.6.1 – Monitoring, measurement and analysis of the ISO 50001 standard.

COPA-DATA is an official and worldwide member of Microsoft’s CityNext initiative and profoundly contributes to establishing Smart Cities. Smart City solutions with zenon can considerably support governments and its citizens to face the challenges of tomorrow, especially in the areas of energy, water/waste water, public transportation and smart buildings. The results are astonishing: greater efficiency throughout, lower consumption of valuable resources, decreasing costs, intuitive operation and a highly scalable, future-proof and sustainable solution.
