Real-time monitoring and control: this is how our MES system revolutionizes your production
Are you facing the challenge of making your manufacturing processes more efficient and transparent?
If you are looking for an MES system (Manufacturing Execution System) for industry that monitors, controls and optimizes your production processes in real time, you have come to the right place. As a central component of Industry 4.0, our MES systems play a crucial role in the digitalization and automation of production.
With our excellent service, we support you in making your production processes more efficient and future-proof.
Numerous customers appreciate CIRCLE, as proven by over 2000 installations in 8 languages (German, English, Dutch, French, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese and Thai) worldwide.
Predictive maintenance: avoid machine failures and reduce costs
Minimize downtimes: CIRCLE monitors your production around the clock
Control
CIRCLE detects deviations from defined standards during production and displays them clearly during production. Production downtimes caused by faults that are detected too late are minimized. Quality and production output are increased by evaluating the data in real time.
Information
Extensive visualizations such as charts, statistics and graphs are already available in the basic installation. In addition, CIRCLE offers numerous interfaces for seamless integration into the company environment. Evaluations can be exported in real time to other formats such as EXCEL, XML, TXT, HTML or PDF via the CIRCLE Open Interface.
Recording
CIRCLE communicates directly with the machine control system and can process additional data via open interfaces, for example from a measuring and testing laboratory.
Maintenance
By automatically notifying the responsible employees in the event of machine malfunctions, material shortages or if specified limit values are exceeded, machine troubleshooting and maintenance can be significantly improved and personnel can be deployed in a more targeted manner.
Communication
The machine and system status is continuously monitored by CIRCLE. The user is automatically informed when critical conditions occur. With this information, our customers are able to gradually optimize the quality and quantity of production.
Flexibility
The modular structure of CIRCLE can be easily adapted to the company-specific conditions of any production plant. Thanks to its open communication system, it can be expanded almost at will and connected to a large number of existing automation systems. CIRCLE is web-based and platform-independent.
Labeling
Products can be automatically labeled with CIRCLE. The markings, such as stickers or barcodes, make the production process of a product transparent and fully traceable.
Evaluation
By evaluating the production data, the customer has the opportunity to objectively evaluate, assess and influence production. Well-founded forecasts open up new possibilities for planning and quality assurance.

Successful connection of containers to CIRCLE for Stadtwerke Düsseldorf
Project overview:
In collaboration with Stadtwerke Düsseldorf, we have successfully connected five containers to our CIRCLE platform. This advanced solution enables real-time monitoring of critical sensor data and offers comprehensive visualization and reporting functions.
Technical details:
Cloud hosting: The platform is hosted on high-performance Linux cloud servers from Hetzner.
Sensor monitoring: Online monitoring continuously records sensor data such as current, voltage and container temperatures.
Visualization: The collected data is visualized in user-friendly dashboard widgets that provide a clear and
intuitive presentation.
Functions:
Event registration and notification: Automatic detection of malfunctions with immediate notification by email or SMS.
Reporting: Comprehensive reports on operating times and downtimes enable detailed analysis and optimization of container operations.
By connecting these containers to the CIRCLE platform, we offer Stadtwerke Düsseldorf a reliable and scalable solution for monitoring and optimizing their infrastructures. With our real-time monitoring and reporting tools, problems can be identified at an early stage and downtimes minimized.
This is what satisfied CIRCLE customers say
“The machine utilization, that is the Line Overall Efficiency (LOE), has been increased from 73% to 85% thanks to Circle in recent years. At the same time, the failure rate has been reduced from 10% to less than 3%. Circle is a well-rounded solution in every respect!”
Manager Factory Engineering Philips Lighting GmbH
“With CIRCLE, we are able to produce complex, high-precision thin-film filters through real-time process control. We even managed to reduce our failure rate to below 2%.”
Lumileds
“By using CIRCLE, the time required to commission our complex process machines and systems has been almost halved.”
