MEGSysteme

MEGSysteme is a modular, scalable platform for integrated management of energy, processes, and automation in industrial environments. It combines software and hardware components, including edge devices, middleware, and cloud analytics, to support data collection, control, and optimization across heterogeneous systems. The design emphasizes interoperability through open standards and a plug-in based architecture that enables sector-specific configurations.

The system originated with MEGSysteme GmbH in the early 2010s as a modular control solution for mid-sized plants. It evolved into a cross‑industry platform with modules for data acquisition, metering, process automation, and AI‑driven optimization, and has been deployed in manufacturing, building management, and data centers.

Architecture-wise, MEGSysteme uses a three-layer approach: edge devices for local data collection and control, middleware for data normalization and messaging (supporting OPC UA and MQTT), and cloud services for analytics and visualization. It supports open APIs and plug-ins, runs on standard hardware or in virtualized environments, and emphasizes security with access control, encryption, and audit trails.

Applications include energy optimization, process monitoring, predictive maintenance, and building automation. The platform is designed to help organizations reduce energy use, gain operational insight, and simplify compliance with standards such as ISO 50001 and ISO 27001. The ecosystem continues to evolve through partnerships and community contributions.
