SCADA

The Smart SCADA Solution

Why Skillworks SCADA?

Skillworks SCADA combines ease of use with high flexibility and modern architecture. The platform enables you to visualize complex systems quickly, integrate existing infrastructure seamlessly, and make processes transparent.

The web-based approach, open interfaces, and modular extensibility make Skillworks SCADA suitable for both new projects and integration into existing system landscapes.

Skillworks SCADA Designer with drag-and-drop interface

Drag-and-Drop Designer — assemble layouts intuitively

Visual Modeling

Visualize plants with drag-and-drop

The Designer lets you build layouts simply by dragging and dropping elements. The interface is clearly structured and offers a wide range of module types including conveyor technology, spots, and sensors.

Multiple users can work on the same model simultaneously — changes made by others are visually highlighted in real time, enabling coordinated collaboration.

Comprehensive module library (conveyors, elevators, spots, sensors …)
Real-time collaborative editing by multiple users
Scalable canvas for complex plant structures
Undo/redo controls and multi-page navigation

Designer table view for module configuration

Table View — rapid bulk editing of module parameters

Efficiency

Tabular Module Editing

The table view enables quick editing of module parameters such as names, IDs, dimensions, and rotation. Perfect for efficiently managing large layouts with many elements.

Search, filter, and edit — directly in the table, without having to select individual objects on the canvas.

All module types in a single, central overview
Filter by ID, name, and module type
Direct inline editing of parameters
Switch to the Designer with a single click

Central Object Catalog in Skillworks SCADA

Object Catalog — define modules centrally and reuse them across layouts

Reusability

Central Object Catalog

Skillworks SCADA features a central object catalog where modules can be defined and managed independently from individual layouts. These modules can be reused across layouts and maintained centrally.

Changes to an object automatically propagate to all associated visualizations — ensuring a consistent and maintainable system architecture.

Reusable modules across multiple layouts
Centralized maintenance and updates
Reduced maintenance overhead
Higher consistency in large plant structures

Layout Manager — user roles and deployment status at a glance

Roles & Management

Layout Manager & User Roles

Layouts are organized and published through the Layout Manager. Users with design rights can edit; all others access a productive live view. Skillworks SCADA can be integrated into existing central authentication services (CAS) for centralized user and permission management.

Group-based layout organization
DEPLOYED status and version tracking
Separate operator and designer views
CAS / SSO integration

Live View — material flow and plant states in near real-time

Control Room

Productive Live View

In the live view, control room operators see the current layout including material flow and plant states in near real-time — entirely in the browser, without additional software.

Counters, status colors, and motion indicators provide a clear overview of the current operational state at all times — the foundation for data-driven decisions.

Real-time plant status updates
Color-coded states and flow directions
Scalable view for large display walls
Basis for analytics & monitoring (Prometheus integration)

MQTT Broker configuration in Skillworks SCADA

MQTT Broker configuration — connect existing brokers with ease

Integration

MQTT Integration & JOLT Conversion

Skillworks SCADA integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure — for example via customer-hosted MQTT brokers. The built-in JOLT converter transforms existing JSON message formats flexibly into the Skillworks data structure, without any changes to source systems.

Skillworks SCADA adapts to your data — not the other way around.

Connect customer-hosted MQTT brokers
JOLT converter for flexible message transformation
Fast integration without modifying source systems
Retrofit-ready: gradually migrate legacy systems
