Interfaces in the Production Environment

Through years of experience and strong partnerships in the automation industry, our customers benefit from our extensive expertise in interface integration and our ability to connect virtually any systems with one another.

We serve L2-L4 of the classic automation pyramid and also realize interfaces to ERP systems (e.g. SAP R/3). Depending on the requirements, these can be pure data interfaces, as well as command protocols for sequence control.

Our Services

Use of interface standards such as OPC/OPC UA, XML, Siemens SIMATIC S7, CSV, MSI, MTP
Direct database links
Connection of any systems, individually according to customer requirements
Self-buffering and fail-safe data interfaces
Automatic buffering and forwarding of data after connection failure

System Integration

InfoCarrier^® BOXI – Industry 4.0 Interface

Optimize Interface Communication – Efficient System Integration for Industry

The integration of manufacturing and process control systems is a key success factor for modern, digital production processes. Today, companies face the challenge of efficiently connecting disparate systems, data models, and communication standards.
Seamless interface communication improves visibility, productivity, and future readiness. In practice, however, complex integration requirements often make it difficult to achieve.

The Solution: InfoCarrier^® BOXI for flexible system integration

With InfoCarrier^® BOXI, SpiraTec AG offers an innovative, modular platform for simplifying system integration in industrial environments.
The solution enables significantly faster and more efficient integration projects while maintaining high stability and scalability.

Your Benefits at a Glance :

Reduced integration effort through standardized interfaces
Fast implementation with proven best-practice workflows
High reliability when connecting IT and OT systems
Flexible extensibility for a variety of use cases
Optimized data integration between production and control systems

Efficient Integration of Disparate Systems

InfoCarrier^® BOXI reliably addresses common challenges such as incompatible data formats and complex communication logic.
By using standardized integration solutions and modular components, companies can accelerate their digital transformation and benefit from stable, scalable processes over the long term.

Future-Proof Interfaces for Your Production Operations

With InfoCarrier^® BOXI, you lay the foundation for a sustainable, high-performance Industry 4.0 architecture.
This enables seamless system connectivity – efficiently, reliably, and with the future in mind.

Efficient Data Exchange

The requirements of the modern pharmaceutical and process industries make it clear: Successful OT/IT integration is based on clearly defined, message-based information packets rather than purely tag-based real-time values.
Here, InfoCarrier^® BOXI relies on modern communication mechanisms that exchange entire information packages in a structured manner (rather than many individual PLC tags). This enables a consistent, validation-compliant flow of information, even in complex systems.
InfoCarrier^® BOXI minimizes manual input and clearly separates MES and PLC configuration, a significant advantage over traditional tag-based integration.

Our Services

SpiraTec AG offers comprehensive services in system integration, interface configuration, and industrial digitalization. From strategic consulting to technical implementation, we help companies optimize connectivity between their production and IT systems.
We provide end-to-end support for interface planning, implementation, and configuration. With years of experience in integrating a wide range of existing systems, we deliver even demanding, complex projects efficiently and reliably.
Our services also include the integration of legacy systems and brownfield facilities. Our tailored solutions enable cost-effective modernization of existing production environments and prepare them for Industry 4.0.

The Success Factors

Universal connectors, for example for PLCs, MES
Significant time savings and error reduction thanks to the extensive decoupling of the configuration of connected systems through standardized data exchange
Efficient commissioning and project planning through the use of predefined, reusable best-practice workflows (e.g., creating batches, reading and writing parameters, receiving notifications)
“Translation” of outdated interface technologies into state-of-the-art communication protocols
Adaptation of existing software and systems is generally not necessary

Since 2025, SpiraTec has achieved the highest certification level in the PAS-X MSI Plug & Produce Partner Program at Körber Pharma Software for InfoCarrier^® BOXI.
