LISSMAC Transforms Industrial Machinery with CODESYS and Smart Touch Panels
LISSMAC , a German expert in high-end metal deburring and industrial machinery, has partnered with Christ Electronic Systems to develop a next-generation Touch Panel based on Linux and CODESYS. This collaboration aims to modernize the user experience, fully support Industry 4.0, and reduce dependency on single-source hardware.
This new system utilizes CODESYS as the Visualization Platform, connecting to existing Siemens PLCs via OPC UA. This architecture enables the development of Modern UI/UX, Remote Monitoring, Smart Service, and Digital Maintenance—all while maintaining the machine’s original PLC infrastructure.
This project serves as a prime example of Open Automation and Vendor Independent Architecture, trends that are currently gaining global momentum in the industrial sector.
Core Technologies Used:
- CODESYS Visualization
- OPC UA Communication
- Linux-based Industrial Panel
- Remote Diagnostics
- RFID User Management
- Web Visualization
- Industry 4.0 Integration
Key Results:
✅ Enhanced User Experience: Modern and intuitive interface.
✅ Increased System Flexibility: Adaptable to various hardware environments.
✅ Reduced Vendor Lock-in: Move away from proprietary hardware constraints.
✅ Empowered Digital Services: Enhanced smart maintenance and support.
✅ Future-Proof for Smart Factories: Fully ready for upcoming industrial shifts.
This case study demonstrates that CODESYS is far more than just PLC software; it is a critical platform for developing Smart Machines, Modern HMIs, and driving complete Industrial Digital Transformation.
