„Smart Factory Experts“

FORCAM is a pioneer of Industry 4.0 and is now part of the FORCAM ENISCO GmbH group of companies. The pioneer of data-driven production supports both medium-sized companies and large corporations in sustainably increasing their competitiveness through intelligent production.

FORCAM’s modular MES (Manufacturing Execution System) solution world, combined with comprehensive consulting and services, enables a complete digital transformation in discrete manufacturing: From the introduction to the smart factory to cross-location and global rollouts, FORCAM offers customized solutions. Our expertise is valued by renowned companies, including Audi, Bizerba, Borgwarner, BWF Group, KSB, Peka Metall, Swarovski Optik and Voestalpine.
When ENISCO began developing its first material flow solutions in 2001, terms such as cloud, IIoT and human-machine interfaces were still a thing of the future. But even as a division of a renowned plant manufacturer, ENISCO was already pursuing the vision of intelligent, flexible and networked production. This vision has driven us since ENISCO became independent in 2015 and continues to be the core of product development today as part of the FORCAM ENISCO GmbH group of companies.

ENISCO’s solutions set global standards in the control and monitoring of plants, both in the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) area and at the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) level. While our roots are deeply anchored in the automotive manufacturing and supply sector, ENISCO has successfully expanded its competencies to new industries such as metals, logistics, automation, construction and agriculture. Today, its expertise supports companies on every step towards the smart factory.

With a modular product portfolio, ENISCO offers a wide range of applications that cover a variety of uses. Since the strategic partnership with FORCAM in 2020, ENISCO continues its success story with more than 60 dedicated colleagues in Germany, China, India and America.

ENISCO’s mission is the same as it was 20 years ago: The teams optimize manufacturing processes through innovative, tailor-made standard products and the latest technologies to create the factory of the future for our customers.
