Flexible collaboration
Starts where your code ends
Fast integration

What it’s all about

Are you looking for a way to make your equipment smart? We are happy to help. With SOMA, our scalable software platform, we are the perfect development partner for you when it comes to digitizing machines and components.

How we can help you

Our SOMA platform can fully collect, process, store, prepare, and visualize data from a wide range of sources. Thanks to our modular system, it is possible to implement specific topics based on your needs.
We deliver ready-made or custom software modules as binary/DLL or as source code for you to develop further for your preferred target platform.
We would be delighted to use our expertise to help you integrate SOMA modules in your target system

Benefits:

Fast integration thanks to multiple interfaces
Highly compatible with many systems
Customized collaboration
Starts where your code ends

The SOMA platform is a scalable software platform:

Data collection

Configurable connection, e.g., of:

  • PLC controllers, industrial PCs via Ethernet, OPC UA, or bus system
  • Sensors (analog, digital)

Data storage & data forwarding

  • Supports various platforms, e.g., cloud or locally via Windows or Linux operating system
  • Data storage & management of live data, historical data, and events
  • Database adapters, e.g., for InfluxDB, MongoDB (more on request)
  • Configurable data transfer to external systems, e.g., via OPC UA or MQTT

Analysis & evaluation

The analysis modules are the “heart” of the SOMA platform:

  • Configurable reception of data structures
  • Configurable forwarding of data and events to other applications
  • Data analyses available (excerpt):
    • ISO 10816, harmful frequencies, FFT, H-FFT, etc.
    • Threshold value monitoring (-> traffic light system)
    • Equipment condition enabling maintenance requirements to be interpreted easily
    • Energy monitoring
    • Trend calculations
    • OEE calculation
    • Custom analyses (upon request)

Visualization & alarms

Data and events can be visualized via a web server using responsive design and can be configured or extended based on customer requirements.

  • Access via web browser from any end device
  • Dynamic maintenance plan
  • Notification can be set via email, SMS, dashboard, or signal light
  • Expandable portfolio of graphical elements

Partnership & collaboration

Even the collaboration between your development department and softgate can be tailored to your needs.
For example, we offer the following options:

  • Turnkey prototype development based on your requirements, e.g., using an agile development process
  • Creation of an interface to your applications
  • Development and integration of selected software libraries
  • Development or delivery of selected software libraries or binaries for your own integration
  • Development of software libraries including transfer of the source code so you can develop the libraries further yourself
