What is Movicon.NExT
Movicon.NExT is a SCADA/HMI software platform used to build supervisory applications for monitoring and controlling industrial processes. It targets automation engineers and system integrators who need visualization, alarm/event handling, data acquisition, and connectivity to PLCs and industrial devices. The product emphasizes a modern engineering environment with reusable objects, multi-client deployment options, and integration with industrial communication standards.
Broad industrial connectivity
Movicon.NExT supports connectivity to common PLCs, field devices, and industrial protocols through built-in drivers and OPC-based integration. This reduces the need for custom middleware in mixed-vendor environments. It also supports data acquisition patterns typical in SCADA projects, including tags, alarms, events, and historian-style logging.
Object-oriented engineering model
The platform uses an object-based approach for screens, templates, and reusable components, which can improve consistency across large projects. This structure helps teams standardize naming, alarms, and UI elements across multiple lines or sites. It can reduce engineering effort when rolling out similar applications to multiple machines or plants.
Flexible runtime deployment
Movicon.NExT supports multiple runtime/client configurations suitable for control rooms, local HMIs, and distributed viewing. It can be deployed to support multi-user access and segmented architectures common in industrial networks. This flexibility helps align deployments with operational needs such as centralized supervision and local operator stations.
Ecosystem varies by region
Availability of trained integrators, third-party templates, and community examples can be uneven depending on geography. In some markets, users may find fewer ready-made project assets compared with more widely adopted SCADA platforms. This can increase reliance on vendor services or a small set of partners.
Licensing and sizing complexity
SCADA projects often require careful sizing around tags, clients, redundancy, and optional modules, and Movicon.NExT is no exception. Estimating total cost and selecting the right license mix can take effort during procurement and design. Changes in scope (more clients, more tags, additional sites) can require license adjustments.
Advanced features may need add-ons
Capabilities such as long-term historian integration, enterprise reporting, or high-availability architectures may require additional components or specific configuration patterns. Organizations with strict requirements for redundancy, audit trails, or regulated environments may need extra design work and validation. This can extend implementation timelines for complex deployments.
Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Tag-based licensing (licenses by number of tags and runtime users).
Public pricing availability: No public list prices found on the vendor site — customers must request a quote / contact sales.
License types & notes (from official documentation):
- Editor (development) license — required to develop projects; purchased editor license includes 1 year of access to technical support. cite
- Runtime licenses (Server / Client) — tag-based; runtime options include WebClient concurrent-user counts (licenses refer to concurrent users) and various runtime modules/drivers that require activation codes. cite
- Feature/module activation codes (drivers, web features, redundancy, IIoT packs, etc.) are controlled via license codes; many modules require activation on the runtime license. cite
- Licensing model explicitly described as "tag based" in the product FAQ. cite
