Connect industrial data without blurring the control boundary.
Softing connects PLCs, CNCs, field devices and industrial networks to OT and IT systems through OPC UA, MQTT, gateways, edge technology, asset-management access and embedded communication.
Six clear routes into the Softing portfolio
Solution pages lead to family and product pages. Lifecycle products remain available for installed-base support and migration, but do not compete visually with current platforms.
Industrial Data Integration & OT/IT Connectivity
Aggregate PLC, CNC and OPC data, standardise the information layer and expose selected data through OPC UA, MQTT and established industrial interfaces.
Explore solution area →02PLC, CNC & Legacy Controller Connectivity
Connect current and brownfield controllers to modern information systems without obscuring the boundary between machine control and data access.
Explore solution area →03Industrial Edge, Docker & MQTT Connectivity
Deploy industrial data access close to machines using Docker software or dedicated industrial edge hardware and deliver selected data through OPC UA or MQTT.
Explore solution area →04Plant Asset Management & Field Device Connectivity
Create controller-independent access to field devices and industrial networks for asset management, parameterization, diagnostics and plant-wide visibility.
Explore solution area →05Industrial Network Diagnostics & Infrastructure
Commission, monitor and troubleshoot industrial networks while keeping current successor routes and installed-base lifecycle products clearly separated.
Explore solution area →06Embedded & OEM Industrial Communication
Integrate OPC UA, industrial protocols and fieldbus connectivity into OEM devices, software and industrial PCs using SDKs, libraries, modules and interface cards.

Softing sits in the information and communication layer. Deterministic controller logic remains in the PLC/CNC/DCS.
The current architecture as the starting point
Installed-base pages are retained, but the main customer journey prioritizes current platforms and published successor routes.
