| Protocol | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| OPC UA | Siemens, Beckhoff, and most modern PLCs. The universal standard for industrial interoperability. |
| S7comm | Native Siemens S7-300 / S7-400 / S7-1200 / S7-1500. Direct connection without OPC UA server. |
| MQTT | Edge devices, IoT sensors, and custom hardware. Lightweight pub/sub for high-frequency data. |
| Modbus TCP / RTU | Energy meters, variable frequency drives, and legacy equipment. The industrial workhorse. |
| EtherNet/IP | Rockwell / Allen-Bradley PLCs, drives, and I/O modules. Full read and write support. |
| PROFINET | Siemens and other PROFINET-capable devices. Real-time Ethernet for process automation. |
Custom protocol adapters available as an add-on for proprietary or niche equipment.
Jouvoli is not an autonomous control system. Every automated sequence has:
A European tier-1 automotive supplier manufactures bodyshell components — doors, roofs, hoods, tailgates, and fenders — across more than 650 component types. Their material flow had been carefully designed in Siemens Plant Simulation, a discrete event simulation tool used for planning and layout.
The simulation was accurate. But it had no connection to the real shop floor. Components were tracked on paper. Routing decisions were made manually. There was no centralized visibility into where parts were, which stations were blocked, or which variant path a component should follow.
Jouvoli took the Plant Simulation design as a blueprint and implemented it as a live SCADA system controlling the actual shop floor via MQTT control plane.
Component tracking: RFID chips on every component feed real-time location data into Jouvoli. 650+ component types, each with its own process specification.
Variant routing: 4 manufacturing paths — covering different sealing, hardening, and packaging sequences — are automated based on component type. Jouvoli reads the RFID identifier, determines the variant, and routes the component to the correct station sequence.
Process control: Both automated processes (oven curing with fixed temperature/time profiles) and manual processes (air curing with operator confirmation) are handled within the same control flow.
Operator dashboard: Real-time view of all active components, station status, and queue depths. Operators can manually override routing decisions for any component. All overrides are logged.
Operator dashboard with manual override maintained throughout — no black-box automation
SCADA & Control is one module in a unified platform. No integration overhead.
Combine it with:
long-term trend analysis alongside real-time control
use SCADA data to feed automated energy baselines and SEU identification
let production forecasts inform automated scheduling decisions
