MIC Use Case

Industrial cell automation

Integrate robots, CNC, control cabinets, and safety under a single industrial orchestration layer.

MIC enables deployment and governance of automated cells with full traceability, connecting engineering, automation, and operations with a scalable plant architecture.

MIC PHILOSOPHY: MODULAR PLATFORM, PROGRESSIVE TRANSFORMATION

MIC is built on a clear vision: a modular platform that adapts to the digital maturity of each industrial organization. Instead of imposing a rigid model, MIC enables progressive deployment of use cases by combining modules to solve concrete needs in operations, maintenance, quality, planning, and control.

Its architecture allows teams to start by digitalizing a specific part of plant operations and evolve in an orderly way toward advanced automation scenarios. This enables standardization, equipment connectivity, and coordinated operations across multiple sites while keeping traceability, operational consistency, and scalability throughout the industrial lifecycle.

From targeted digitalization to full automation, MIC supports every stage of industrial transformation.

Signals you need this use case

Complex integrations

Robot, CNC, peripherals, and PLCs coexist without a unified control and traceability framework.

Dependence on isolated suppliers

Each cell runs on its own logic, making maintenance, evolution, and scaling difficult.

Safety not integrated with data

Safety signals and states are not connected to shopfloor operational tracking.

Slow commissioning

Engineering, automation, and operations work with disconnected tools and criteria.

Lack of cross-functional visibility

There is no consolidated view of each cell’s status and its impact on production.

Difficult multi-plant scaling

Reusing cell standards across locations is costly and poorly controlled.

HOW MIC SOLVES INDUSTRIAL CELL AUTOMATION IN 5 STEPS

The flow integrates engineering, control, safety, and operations to deploy robust, traceable automated cells aligned with business goals.

01

Cell architecture design and integration standard

What MIC defines

Cell topology: robot, CNC, handling, vision, and peripherals.
Unified data model, events, and operational states.
Integration strategy with MES/ERP and quality systems.

What it enables

A replicable standard to deploy cells with less technical variability and stronger lifecycle control.

Each cell is born connected to the business, not as an isolated block.

02

MIC Automation System: centralized cell control

Automation asset control

MIC Automation System coordinates sequences and states across robot, CNC, control cabinet, PLC, and peripherals from a shared logic layer.

Outcome

Fewer ad hoc dependencies between systems and greater robustness for product, cycle, and operating changes.

03

Integrated safety: functional safety connected to operations

What is integrated

Safety states, interlocks, emergency stops, and operating permissions connected to the real-time cell state.

What it delivers

Higher operational safety and better diagnostics for lockouts, stoppages, and startup/reset conditions.

04

Guided operations and technical maintenance for the cell

Sequences and format changes

Startup, reference change, and stop with unified instructions by user profile.

Operational diagnostics

Alarms and events linked to robot, CNC, cabinet, or safety with technical context.

Assisted maintenance

Technical intervention flows with checklists, safe lockouts, and traceability.

Status visibility

Clear reading of global cell status for operations, engineering, and maintenance.

05

Industrial scaling: standardize, replicate, and optimize

Multi-cell standardization

Reusable architecture and logic templates to replicate cells across lines and plants with version control.

Business-oriented continuous improvement

Operational and availability data connected to decisions on productivity, quality, and after-sales service.

What your organization gets from this use case

Operational outcome

End-to-end control of automated cells from MIC.
Greater robustness in robot-CNC-cabinet-safety integration.
Reduced commissioning and changeover times.
Faster diagnostics and traceability of critical events.
Orderly scaling of standards across lines and plants.

KPIs you can improve

Automated cell availability.
MTTR and incident response time.
Reference changeover and startup time.
Stops caused by integration or safety events.
Deployment time for new cells.

MIC turns cell automation into a scalable, safe, and performance-driven capability.
