Modular system architectures and integrable technologies for industry partners, with a focus on cooperation and licensing

System Architecture UCA

The Universal Core Architecture (UCA) describes an approach to structuring technical systems in which functions are not permanently tied to specific devices, products, or manufacturers. Instead, a clear system logic is defined that operates independently of the concrete technical implementation.

UCA is particularly suited to scenarios in which technical systems must evolve over many years—when new functions are added, usage patterns change, or expansions are required without dismantling existing structures. Rather than repeatedly redesigning systems or replacing entire architectures, UCA enables targeted adjustments and extensions within the existing system.

Technical tasks are clearly separated and described as independent roles within the overall system. This creates transparency, reduces dependencies, and makes it easier to develop systems over time without losing their internal logic.

UCA thus forms the basis for modular implementations, comparable system roles, and various forms of technical and economic utilization.

Modules

Modules are functionally well-defined building blocks within the system architecture. Each module assumes a specific technical task and can be developed, deployed, and combined independently. What matters is not the concrete technical implementation, but the role a module fulfills within the overall system.

This allows existing systems to be selectively extended or adapted without the need to redesign or restructure the entire technical environment. Individual functions can be added, replaced, or used temporarily, depending on the respective requirements and application scenarios.

For manufacturers, integrators, and development partners, this creates a transparent system logic along which their own products, integrations, or technical implementations can be developed without losing compatibility with the overall system.

Technical Product Solutions

In addition to system architectures and modular concepts, the innovation portfolio includes independent technical product solutions. These developments are not part of the UCA system architecture, but are specifically designed to address clearly defined technical challenges.

The focus is on concrete applications where existing processes are simplified, improved, or technically reimplemented. Typical areas of emphasis include use cases in which functionality, cleanability, measurability, or process reliability play a central role.

Depending on the application context, these product solutions can be used as standalone offerings, integrated into existing systems, or further developed within licensing and cooperation models.
