See Vulken at work.
From machine data to a clearer production picture.
Vulken makes PLC connectivity a starting point for organizing and understanding your industrial data. Work in one interface, from establishing connections and naming tags to monitoring values and performing supported writes.
- Centralized PLC management
- Organize connections, machines and tags in one interface. Keep a clear view of where each value comes from.
- Real-time industrial monitoring
- View live values, quality states and communication errors together. Inspect the relevant machine and connection when an issue appears.
- Siemens S7 and Modbus connectivity
- Manage different PLC connections through a common structure with support for Siemens S7, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU.
- Bidirectional PLC communication
- Read supported data areas and send values to tags configured for writing. Write support depends on the capabilities of the connection and tag.
- Intuitive tag management
- Associate technical addresses with readable aliases. Organize data alongside its machine and source to keep configuration understandable.
- Configurable data collection
- Configure read groups and polling intervals. Decide which data to collect and how often to read it for your application.
- Flexible runtime architecture
- Use the desktop management interface alongside the runtime architecture. Manage configuration and inspect data collection status from the same application.

Planned development
From production to connected business systems.
Vulken’s integration roadmap aims to bring machine data to other layers of production. The items below are not ready-to-use features in the current release.
Alias-based HTTP/REST access
Access industrial data through readable tag aliases.
Controlled external PLC reads and writes
Expose supported PLC read and write operations to other applications.
ERP and MES integrations
Connect machine data with business and manufacturing management systems.
Runtime on edge devices
Separate runtime deployment scenarios on devices such as Raspberry Pi.
These plans are not presented as ready-to-use features included in Free or Professional licenses. No release date or delivery commitment is implied.
