How does KiSoft SCADA have its eyes everywhere?

KiSoft SCADA receives status messages from the system in real time and presents them to the user in a clear and concise way. In automated systems with up to a million data points per warehouse, there can be more than 100,000 status changes per minute. KNAPP has developed KiSoft SCADA to process such enormous amounts of data reliably, leaning on decades of experience in warehouse automation.

Seamless integration of the entire KiSoft portfolio

All products in the KNAPP portfolio (e.g. shuttles, stacker cranes, conveyor systems, sensors) are integrated in KiSoft SCADA as standard. Many other systems, including third-party ones, can also be easily integrated thanks to the flexible system architecture – with one software, you have your entire warehouse at your fingertips.

KiSoft SCADA, with its easyUse operating concept, provides service technicians with a clear overview of the system’s technical state. This helps to ensure availability, performance and stability of your logistics system.

What functions does KiSoft SCADA offer?

The continuous availability and productivity of an automated system are among the most important requirements for cost-effective warehouse operation. The software KiSoft SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) provides a comprehensive overview of a system’s technical state, visualizes all warehouse components and provides information on their operational state. This way, KiSoft SCADA achieves complete transparency, assists in providing punctual, preventive maintenance and efficient deployment of service technicians, acquires production data and facilitates swift incident resolution. KiSoft SCADA can be used flexibly on the multi-screen control center or on mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones.

KiSoft SCADA is a standard product that is included with all automated KNAPP systems because we want to ensure our customers can always keep an eye on their warehouse systems.
