Managing a large fleet of field sensors just got simpler. We have overhauled how device data is organized within ControlCom Connect, making it easier for integrators to scale their monitoring systems while maintaining data integrity across the platform.

Structured Device Templates

Organizing variables and commands is now more intuitive with a new device template structure. This update allows you to define the behavior and data points of your hardware in a centralized way, ensuring consistency across all installations.

• Organized Variables: Group and define sensor data more clearly within each template.

• Command Definitions: Standardize the instructions sent to your hardware, making it easier to control multiple devices of the same type.

• Faster Deployment: Once a template is created, you can apply it to new devices instantly, reducing the time spent on manual configuration during site setups.

Template and Gateway Integration

To help plant managers maintain a clear view of their network hierarchy, device templates now link directly to ControlCom gateways. This means you can manage all connected hardware through the specific gateway that handles its traffic, providing better visibility into your field architecture and simplifying remote monitoring tasks.

Improved Data Ingestion Reliability

We have updated the core data processing engine to ensure your industrial data flows more reliably from the edge to the dashboard. These changes mean less latency and fewer missed data points, which is critical for accurate predictive analytics and real-time alarming in water/wastewater and manufacturing environments.

What This Means for You

• Fewer Truck Rolls: Better organization and reliable data mean you can troubleshoot more from the office.

• Simpler Scaling: Adding ten or one hundred new sensors follows the same structured workflow.

• Clearer Insights: With standardized templates, your data is more consistent, making it easier to compare performance across different sites or assets.

Managing your industrial hardware and facility data is now more transparent. This update to ControlCom Connect brings better diagnostic tools for field devices, enhanced security for large teams, and smarter ways to anticipate system changes through predictive graphing.

Deep Diagnostics for Faster Troubleshooting

Understanding why a device is offline or behaving unexpectedly is now simpler. We have added tools to the Device Details page that provide immediate context for field technicians and plant managers.

• Activity Timeline: Track device events over time to see exactly when a status changed.

• Troubleshooting Messages: Access a log of device messages from the last 24 hours to identify communication errors quickly.

• Health Metrics: View real-time connection status and health indicators directly on the device dashboard.

• Live Namespace Values: See variables update in real-time within the interface, ensuring you are looking at current field data.

Enhanced Security and Access Management

As your operations scale, managing who can see and edit specific data becomes critical. ControlCom Connect now supports more granular security protocols and centralized authentication.

• Custom User Roles: Assign specific roles to users to control access to features and data sets within the platform.

• Login Awareness: New security alerts now include the geographical location of login attempts, helping you identify unauthorized access.

Smarter AI and Predictive Insights

We are making the ControlCom Connect AI Assistant more effective by allowing it to understand the specific context of your industry and facility.

Domain-Specific AI Knowledge

You can now define domain knowledge rules that the AI Assistant uses to provide more accurate answers tailored to your specific facility type, whether it’s water/wastewater, manufacturing, or healthcare.

Trend Predictions on Graphs

Graphs now support trend predictions. This means you can see where your data is heading based on historical patterns, allowing for proactive adjustments before thresholds are reached and alarms are triggered.

Expanded Protocol and Device Support

Connecting a wider variety of hardware is now easier with improved support for popular industrial protocols and bulk configuration tools.

• LoRaWAN Management: Connect and manage LoRaWAN devices and gateways directly within the platform.

• Sparkplug B Rules: Import Sparkplug B rules via CSV to speed up the configuration of your MQTT-based devices.

• Composite Commands: Send more complex instruction sets to your devices, including the ability to copy and paste command configurations between similar hardware.

ControlCom Connect continues to evolve as a flexible hub for industrial monitoring and analytics. This latest update focuses on providing integrators with more powerful tools to customize the platform and gives operators more granular control over their system visualizations.

Standardized API for Custom Integrations

We have significantly expanded and standardized the ControlCom Connect API to make it easier for you to build custom applications or connect the platform with your existing SCADA, ERP, or maintenance management software. This makes the platform more adaptable for water/wastewater, manufacturing, and healthcare facilities that require specialized data flows.

• New Data Endpoints: You can now programmatically manage energy management bills, weather data, and AI chat sessions.

• Organization Branding: Automate how your branding and organization settings are applied across the platform.

• Broad Support: We have enhanced API support for managing alarms, assets, devices, virtual variables, and user profiles, ensuring a consistent developer experience.

More Control Over HMI Diagrams

Building and maintaining your digital twin diagrams is now more efficient. New refinements allow for better organization and more precise visual feedback on the plant floor.

• Granular Instance Visibility: You now have the power to control the visibility of individual instances directly within your diagrams. This means you can show or hide specific components based on operational needs without affecting the rest of the layout.

• Streamlined Publishing: To help keep your projects organized, you can now rename a diagram at the moment you publish it. This simplifies versioning and ensures that your operator screens always have clear, descriptive names.

• Accurate Gauge Visuals: We have improved the rendering of radial gauges. These indicators now display data with higher precision, giving your team a more reliable view of critical metrics like pressure, flow, and tank levels.

Managing complex industrial environments requires more than just a list of devices. ControlCom Connect now provides deeper organizational tools to help you map your digital twin to your physical facility more accurately.

Organize with Hierarchical Asset Structures

You can now nest assets within one another to mirror your actual plant layout. Instead of flat lists, you can organize your monitoring by site, production line, or specific machine assemblies. This makes it easier to navigate large-scale deployments and ensures your team finds the right data without searching through hundreds of sensors.

Define Relationships and Asset Types

Beyond simple nesting, you can now define how assets relate to one another and categorize them by type. Standardizing asset types—like centrifugal pumps or HVAC units—means you can manage groups of equipment more effectively across different locations. Mapping relationships helps you understand dependencies between your hardware, leading to faster troubleshooting during downtime.

Refined Device Setup and Modbus Tools

We have added improvements to the configuration workflow to make device onboarding faster:

• Variable Import Tracking: When importing variables to a device, the system now displays a count of the items being added, giving you immediate confirmation of the data being mapped.
• Modbus SDK Enhancements: The Modbus SDK editor includes a new button to create variables directly within the interface, reducing the steps needed to get a PLC or controller communicating with the platform.

What's New

ControlCom Connect now lets you put your own brand on the platform. Upload a custom logo, pick your sidebar color, and give your team (or your customers) a monitoring experience that looks and feels like yours.

This is especially useful for OEMs and integrators who white-label their monitoring setup. Instead of a generic interface, your operators and clients see your brand every time they log in.

What You Can Customize

• Logo: Upload your company logo to replace the default in the sidebar and login screen.

• Sidebar Color: Match your sidebar to your brand palette with a simple color picker.

• Consistent Experience: Your branding carries across the platform, so everything feels intentional and professional.

Why It Matters

For integrators managing multiple client accounts, branded dashboards build trust and reduce confusion. For plant managers, it's one less thing that feels like an outside tool — and one more thing that feels like part of the operation.

No code, no support tickets. Just head to Settings → Branding and make it yours.

What's New

ControlCom Connect now lets you trust devices for multi-factor authentication. Once you verify a device, you won't be prompted for an MFA code every time you log in from that same browser or machine.

This is especially useful for integrators and plant managers who access the platform multiple times a week from the same secure workstation. You stay protected without the friction of repeated code entries.

How It Works

• Trust a device at login: After entering your MFA code, check the option to remember the device

• Manage trusted devices: View and remove trusted devices anytime from your account security settings

• Stay in control: Revoke trust instantly if a device is lost, shared, or no longer in use

Why It Matters

For teams managing remote monitoring across water/wastewater systems, manufacturing floors, or distributed commercial sites, logging in shouldn't slow you down. Trusted devices mean faster access to alarms, dashboards, and analytics—without compromising security.
