DXQcontrol
DXQcontrol is a Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solution that redefines conventional approaches by bridging the boundaries between Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES). In doing so, Dürr integrates with its sub-brand iTAC Software AG to offer a modular, yet open system that grants customers full flexibility regarding custom features and new developments.
The cutting-edge SCADA solution is versatile for every facet of manufacturing – from planning and execution to control, monitoring, optimization and predictive analysis. Its microservices architecture stands for state-of-the-art technology with which Dürr guides the industry towards the future of smart manufacturing.
MOM system: Architecture and microservices
DXQ grows with you
Say goodbye to monolithic architectures that limit your future needs. The Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) relies on microservices that provide functionalities as required. Hereby, multiple microservices operate independently while maintaining open communication among one another. The microservices architecture of DXQcontrol possesses self-contained data storage and open interfaces, allowing for flexible and independent deployment.
This adaptability implies that DXQcontrol scales with production capacity and microservices are easily added as needed, while only necessary microservices are installed and ensure efficient resource allocation. Containerized microservices simplify application management and reduce reliance on OS, dependencies, and libraries. The new architecture is characterized by a high reliability as well as an easy and low-risk updateability and upgradability of modules.

Seamless MOM system with functions
DXQ has it all
Enhance your production with the most advanced functionalities.
Merging MES, SCADA, and HMI into one unified MOM architecture, while benefiting from a seamless and integrated system eliminates boundaries and fosters interoperability.
The innovative product comprises individual modules that address key facets of factory operations, from production and maintenance to quality and intralogistics. Dürr offers a complete, single source solution that enables the user to control, monitor, analyze, and manage the entire production. Additionally, open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are supplied, even to third-party providers, to guarantee customized usability.
Users of DXQcontrol not only benefit from the same, intuitive user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), but receive real-time information on different devices, including mobile ones.
Analytics functions in MOM
DXQ already knows
The extensive product portfolio of DXQ empowers operators to add enhanced products on the same platform. For instance, MOM functionalities of DXQcontrol can be combined with analytics features from the products of DXQanalyze. The following provides an insight on some of the various aspects:
DXQcontrol allows the user to combine maintenance and analytics in order to create predictive maintenance tasks (maintenance management) and ensure optimal equipment performance with minimal downtime. The software solution systematically detects product quality issues and identifies their root causes, providing respective insights the user needs for continuous improvement.
Furthermore, an intelligent monitoring of the inventory replenishment on the shopfloor is provided as well as the detection and reduction of unnecessary energy and media consumption.
Predict your production to boost efficiency.
IT and OT security
DXQ is up to date
Improve your manufacturing with state-of-the-art IT.
DXQcontrol prioritizes investment security, making maintainability and IT-security integral features of the product.
Security measures (i. e. secure by design) have been implemented at early stages of the DXQcontrol development as part of the core architecture. Through the microservice-based architecture, incremental updates are simplified significantly, thus securing long-term security compliance in terms with regulations like the cyber resilience act (CRA) and NIS2. Furthermore, DXQ incorporates configurable role-based access control, allowing the customer to tailor advanced authentication and authorization schemes to suit the respective factors.
In the realm of IT & OT security, DXQcontrol is primed to address upcoming security regulations – ensuring secure operations in all production environments.
Deployment and integrability
DXQ supports you
Deployment: Whether it's a standalone solution or part of a broader system, DXQ provides invaluable data transparency from the shop floor – for efficient control and optimization. The cutting-edge, cloud-capable architecture of DXQcontrol offers complete flexibility regarding the deployment environment. This includes:
- On-premises,
- On-premises cloud (shared services),
- Private Cloud,
- Customer IIoT platforms,
- Hybrid scenarios.
With DXQ, the user gains a versatile and seamlessly integrable solution, tailored to customer-specific requirements. The open interfaces allow easy integration of necessary functions into a system, while harmonizing with any existing system landscapes.
Integrability: DXQ offers three scenarios:
- DXQ as the central production hub, integrating with optional third-party services.
- DXQ complementing the existing customer’s software landscape with open and direct communication.
- Individual DXQ modules seamlessly integrated into the user’s / customer’s platform, fostering open and event-based communication.
Integrate any function you need in your system or choose to integrate the software into existing system landscapes.
