Understand production. Control production.

Your production data is there. Can you see how it all connects?

OPDPRO.CARE connects plant assets, material routes, products and production data in a shared context.

Digital twin. Open interfaces. Intelligent production.

For production management, engineering management, maintenance and plant management.

Discuss a production issue

Three systems. Three different figures. Which one is right?

Traceability

A raw material batch is queried. Which mixed batches are affected? OPDPRO.CARE brings batch and production information together within the process context.

Manual data handling

Is production data still transferred manually between machines, Excel and ERP? OPDPRO.CARE provides it in a structured format and exchanges it via agreed interfaces.

Legacy Systems

Is your production software still reliably supported? OPDPRO.CARE can be deployed step by step during modernisation.

The real value stream takes centre stage.

The digital twin connects equipment, material, product, process, and data. A temperature reading at the mixer is displayed directly alongside the plant component and material path: you see where it arises and what it describes.

API

Collect data easily

Connect existing PLC, SCADA, ERP and lab systems. Data flows into the value stream automatically – no new machines needed.

AI

Understand data easily

Ask the digital twin in your own words. AI makes production relationships instantly clear.

Understand production

Transparency across equipment, processes, and data.

Production data in process context rather than isolated
Identify correlations faster
Less manual searching and consolidation

Control production

Active execution, building on “Understand production”.

Transfer orders, recipes, and process parameters to the plant
Set target values and process parameters
Document execution

Open interfaces for existing system landscapes. Connect rather than rebuild from scratch.

OPC UA
REST API
ERP, Laboratory, BI

Capture process knowledge. Make it available in day-to-day production.

Recipes, process parameters, and instructions are readily available to authorised users. At the workstation, at the machine, or on a smartphone.

OPDPRO.CARE on a smartphone: active orders, recipes, and products

Connect. Understand. Improve.

The value stream remains the foundation. Interfaces and artificial intelligence build on it.

1 · API connects

Information from machines, controllers and business systems becomes accessible. Your systems stay in place.

OPC UA · REST API · MCP (in development)

2 · The digital twin creates context

Raw materials, equipment, orders, batches and products sit in the context of the real production process.

3 · AI unlocks knowledge

Ask questions, investigate possible bottlenecks, find instructions and prepare decisions better.

Example AI applications

Which dosing scale limits the output of my four mixing lines?

Looking at dosing times, waiting times and equipment states together reveals possible bottlenecks, showing where automation or mechanics should be examined.

Which products were made from this raw material batch?

By linking raw material, recipe, production order and finished product, the affected batches can be traced.

How can I use a new raw material in a recipe?

An AI assistant can draw on relevant information, documentation and tutorials and guide the user through the required steps.

Illustrative examples, no real production data.

It is not the amount of data that matters, but understanding the process.

Why OPDPRO.CARE is different.

Shop-floor focused rather than abstract.

Built for real manufacturing processes, not theoretical data models.

Step-by-step rather than an all-or-nothing project.

Start with a single, clearly defined production area.

Integrate rather than replace.

Existing systems remain in place and are seamlessly connected.

From overall visibility to direct control.

Start with transparency, expand to active process execution when required.

On-premises in the production environment.

Operate on your own infrastructure, with no obligation to use the public cloud.

Software and plant engineering from a single source.

Standard software combined with plant engineering expertise: PLC, automation, and commissioning available as needed.

Weighing, dosing, mixing, recipes, and batches.

For recipe-based mixing and dosing processes.

Plastics

Profiles, cables, pipes, floor coverings, compounds, roofing membranes, window profiles, cable ducts, plastic films, geomembranes, sheets, hoses, granulates, masterbatches.

Rubber

Rubber compounds, seals, O-rings, hoses, conveyor belts, tyres, rubber mats, vibration dampers, rubber profiles.

Animal Feed

Compound feed, mineral feed, supplementary feed, premixes, feed pellets, calf milk powder, dry pet food, lick blocks.

Food

Flavourings, baking mixes, spices, cocoa powder, instant coffee, spice blends, dough mixes, custard powder, beverage powders, soup and sauce powders, protein powders, muesli mixes.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is PROCARE by OPDENHOFF?

PROCARE is the common short name for OPDPRO.CARE. It refers to the digital twin of production by OPDENHOFF Technologie GmbH.

Does OPDPRO.CARE replace our ERP, SCADA, or PLC?

No, not across the board. OPDPRO.CARE links the data from these systems directly with the physical production process.

Does it work with brownfield plant and existing machinery?

OPDPRO.CARE is purpose-built for existing production environments. Specific data connectivity is assessed based on your installed systems.

Do we require Siemens WinCC?

No. The specific plant visualisation and OT architecture are tailored to your existing environment and project requirements.

Where is OPDPRO.CARE hosted?

On-premises within the client's infrastructure or on designated dedicated infrastructure. There is no mandatory reliance on a public cloud.

Do we have to map the entire plant?

No. Implementation starts with a clearly defined production section. Additional areas and integrations are added incrementally.

Does a passive installation replace our existing control system?

No, not automatically. Active process execution can be introduced as a second step where required, planned on a per-project basis.

Can I connect OPDPRO.CARE to my existing ERP?

OPDPRO.CARE supports data exchange via open interfaces such as REST API. The specific integration depends on your existing systems and requirements.

Can artificial intelligence analyse my production data?

The digital twin provides the basis for evaluating production data in the right context. AI-based functions can build on it. The available scope depends on the version in use and the connected data sources.

Can I keep using my existing PLCs?

Yes. Existing controllers can be integrated where the technical prerequisites are met. A complete renewal of the automation is not generally required.

Can AI agents access production information?

Integration options for structured access by AI agents are being developed. Before productive use, authentication, permissions and data security in particular must be ensured.

What is OPDPRO.CARE?

OPDPRO.CARE (also OPDPRO CARE or opdprocare) is the production digital twin by OPDENHOFF Technologie GmbH. It digitalises the material flow from raw material through silo, scale, mixer, heating-cooling mixer and kneader to extruder, calender and winder – in the plastics, rubber, food and animal feed industries.
