MSC is the ideal solution for companies that want to combine advanced automation, safety, and optimized warehouse management.
The MSC MHART Smart Control system is an advanced solution for the integrated management of warehouses and automated systems, designed to combine reliability, flexibility, and safety in a single platform.
MSC combines two levels of control:
Device control: manages field devices and electromechanical logic, monitoring motors, sensors, and conveyor belts.
Warehouse Control System (WCS): coordinates logistics flows, optimizes goods handling, and communicates with WMS/ERP systems, ensuring complete traceability and centralized management.
The system integrates intuitive HMIs, error management, data collection, and standard communication protocols for complete supervision.
Features of MHART Smart Control
MSC is based on a modular, scalable, reliable, and high-performance platform:
Bosch Rexroth ctrlX CORE: modular central controller that manages both level 2 and level 3, with extended connectivity, integrated security, and support for standard and high-level languages (C++, Python, Node-RED).
ctrlX SAFETY: PLC certified for safety functions, emergency stops, and operator protection, compliant with international standards (PL and SIL 3).
EtherCAT and IO-Link communication: fast and reliable network for field devices and smart sensors, enabling predictive diagnostics and real-time monitoring.
This combination ensures scalability, easy integration, and process optimization.
Based on Codesys and proprietary OOP libraries, it allows for modularity, code reuse, and easy maintenance.
It manages:
Electromechanical handling
Error monitoring and management
Integration with sensors via EtherCAT and IO-Link
The WCS coordinates all Level 2 modules and external systems, ensuring:
Optimized logistics flow management
Complete traceability of goods
Communication with WMS/ERP via OPC UA, MQTT, REST API
The WebIQ interface allows intuitive control from any device:
Modern and customizable web interface
Access from PC, tablet, or smartphone
Real-time visualization of KPIs, errors, and performance
MSC integrates open-source tools for data monitoring and analysis:
InfluxDB: efficient storage of time series from sensors and devices
Grafana: interactive dashboards to view data, monitor performance, and support predictive maintenance
Key benefits
Centralization and flexibility: a single system to manage both internal logistics and field devices.
Certified safety: operator protection and compliance with international standards.
Scalability and integration: adaptable to different layouts and compatible with heterogeneous systems.
Intelligent monitoring: data collection and predictive analysis to reduce downtime.
Remote control: modern, web-based HMI accessible from any device.
