“Dürr and iTAC continuously work on software solutions designed to increase equipment availability, support sustainability, and save time,” says Dr. Jochen Weyrauch, CEO of Dürr AG. “We combine our digital expertise with deep knowledge of production processes to help customers future proof their entire manufacturing operations.”
The shared digitalization strategy aims to support customers comprehensively in transforming their manufacturing from the shop floor level all the way to data-driven optimization of global production networks. iTAC contributes strong software expertise and deep industrial manufacturing knowledge to develop modern Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solutions.
MOM as the central building block of the digital factory
Across the Dürr Group, digital competencies are consolidated to develop cross domain solutions for connected production ranging from equipment integration and MES/MOM systems to AI-driven analytics and maintenance applications. Within this portfolio, the MOM system forms a central foundation for transparency, control, and efficiency in manufacturing.
For ten years, iTAC has played a key role in creating scalable and integrated production management solutions within the Dürr Group. The iTAC.MOM.Suite controls and optimizes production processes, supports detailed scheduling via integrated Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS), and connects production management, logistics, material flow, and maintenance into one seamless system.
The Dürr Group and iTAC have also implemented the “OneMES Strategy.” A standardized, group-wide MOM solution now digitally represents production in real time at Dürr’s manufacturing sites. This serves as a best practice model for rolling out comparable structures at other machinery and equipment manufacturers.
From MES provider to global MOM ecosystem
Since becoming part of the Dürr Group, iTAC has continuously evolved from a traditional MES specialist into a globally positioned MOM ecosystem provider. Over the years, several companies have joined as subsidiaries, each adding technological depth and expanding the international footprint.
DUALIS enhances the group’s capabilities in APS and simulation, enriching operational production management with reliable planning and scheduling functions. Cogiscan, which became part of the group in 2021, strengthens the offering especially in electronics manufacturing, contributing expertise in machine connectivity, track and trace, and analytics supported by its already strong global customer base. Accevo, another Dürr Group company, broadens the portfolio with software solutions for the process industry and brings extensive international project experience, particularly in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage and FMCG sectors.
Through this integration, a cohesive and comprehensive offering has emerged across the entire manufacturing value chain from planning and connectivity to MOM/MES and data-driven optimization. At the same time, iTAC benefits from the global reach of the Dürr Group: new markets can be approached more rapidly, international rollouts executed more efficiently, and customers supported with greater consistency worldwide.
A leading MOM provider across multiple industries
With the expansion of the iTAC portfolio with its sub-brands, the company has further strengthened its position in discrete manufacturing while extending into additional industries. Today, iTAC serves customers in automotive and e mobility, electronics/EMS, telecommunications, medical technology and other manufacturing sectors as well as process industries such as pharma, food & beverage and FMCG. This makes iTAC one of the MOM providers with one of the broadest technological and industry footprints.
Data-driven optimization and AI in everyday production
Complementing the MOM core, analytics and AI functions support continuous improvement in production ranging from identifying optimization potentials to providing contextual knowledge directly in the manufacturing environment. This enables faster decision-making and more targeted actions, both within individual plants and across global production networks.
Ten years of partnership with a clear view ahead
“Ten years within the Dürr Group reflect our consistent advancement of MES and MOM solutions for industrial environments,” says Martin Heinz, CEO of iTAC Software AG. “As a key part of Dürr’s digital strategy and together with our subsidiaries, we are shaping digital transformation across nearly all manufacturing industries with a strong focus on end to end processes, scalability and measurable value on the shopfloor.”
