InfoCarrier^® BOXI Industry 4.0 Interface

InfoCarrier^® BOXI – Industry 4.0 Interface

We offer customized solutions for modern interface communication

The seamless integration and interconnection of manufacturing and process control systems is now a critical success factor for efficient and future-proof production processes. In practice, however, different systems, data models, and communication protocols often collide. For this reason, SpiraTec AG has developed InfoCarrier^® BOXI, an innovative, modular solution that significantly reduces the effort required for integration between systems. Thanks to pre-built best-practice workflows and standardized interfaces, typical integration scenarios can be implemented not only faster but also much more reliably, ensuring efficient coverage of various use cases.

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 ratherthan 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 consulting services as well as the implementation and configuration of interfaces. With many years of experience in connecting a wide variety of legacy systems, we can professionally execute even complex integration projects. In addition, we develop customized solutions for our customers, offering a cost-effective way to make legacy systems and brownfield facilities Industry 4.0-ready. Continuous maintenance and reliable after-sales service round out our offering.

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“Translation” of outdated interface technologies into state-of-the-art communication protocols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.
