Proficy Smart Factory (Velotic)

Overview

Proficy is a long-established industrial software line whose MES products are now sold by Velotic, which describes itself as a new independent industrial software company formed by combining Proficy from GE Vernova with ThingWorx and Kepware from PTC^[4]. GE Vernova’s Proficy page now carries the notice “We are now Velotic”^[5].

The MES offering, Proficy Smart Factory, provides cloud-based or on-premises composable MES, with Plant Applications, Cloud MES and Cloud OEE listed as products^[5]. Velotic also lists Proficy Tracker for tracking production flow, status, genealogy and quality^[4]. Case studies on Velotic’s site include Volvo Car Engine, which it reports achieved zero downtime with Proficy MES software, and Brembo North America, Bharat Forge and Sysmex^[4].

The combination with ThingWorx (an industrial IoT platform) and Kepware (industrial connectivity) gives the new company a stack running from machine connectivity to MES and analytics. For existing Proficy customers, the change of ownership raises the usual questions about roadmap and support continuity, which buyers should address contractually. Prices are not published.
