About us
‘We make your production plant future-proof.’
This is not just our vision.
It is our mission. For over 56 years, Opdenhoff has stood for innovative automation solutions and digital technologies that make the process industry smarter, more efficient and more sustainable. Our focus is on the bulk industries – where precision, availability and adaptability are crucial.
We accompany our customers on their journey to the smart factory – from sensor technology to the cloud, from control cabinets to digital twins. With an experienced team of engineers, software developers and automation experts, we develop solutions that are practical, scalable and future-proof.
Our portfolio includes:
– OPDPRO.CARE: The digital twin for production – for maximum transparency and controllability
– OPDWin SCADA: Modern process visualisation with open architecture
– OPD PLC systems: Robust automation technology – flexible and networkable
– Engineering & control cabinet construction: From planning to commissioning – everything from a single source
Winner of the VDI/ZVEI Innovation Award, the Product of the Year award from Kunststoffmagazin magazine and the BSFZ seal of approval for innovation, we set standards in industrial digitalisation.
What does that mean in concrete terms?
📦 Traceability at the touch of a button
From goods receipt to the end of the product's life – OPDPRO.CARE makes data accessible and thus forms the basis for the upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP).
📊 Structured process data
All production data is centrally recorded and linked together – for greater clarity, security and speed in decision-making.
♻️ Future-proofing included
OPDPRO.CARE is ready – for AI applications, predictive maintenance, sustainability reporting and tomorrow's regulatory requirements. What you build today will still be relevant tomorrow.

Products
A to Z Opdenhoff | We don't just modernize control systems
Many modernization projects in the process industry fail not because of the technology. They fail because data, decisions, and responsibility exist in too many different realities. A Z Opdenhoff modernizes control systems and processes from A to Z. With future-proof production architecture based on https://lnkd.in/d6C3r4Yt. What's new here is that we think in terms of the product. Not from the batch or approach. This creates traceability that remains reliable even with variants, mixtures, and parallel flows. And this creates a single source of truth in the value stream that operators and machine and plant manufacturers can use together. The AI agents act like a digital team in the background. They recognize patterns, connect information, support decisions, and relieve the burden on skilled workers in the plant. When standards reach their limits, architecture begins.
OPDPRO.CARE – for future-proof production
OPDPRO.CARE brings transparency, efficiency and controllability to your production – holistically, modularly and practically. In an industry where quality, energy efficiency and delivery capability determine competitiveness, OPDPRO.CARE offers the decisive digital edge: with our system, you can record, analyse and optimise all relevant process data – from individual machines to the entire plant. We rely on the industrial digital twin, based on RAMI 4.0 and the standards of the IDTA. Our software solution has received multiple awards – including the VDI/ZVEI Innovation Award, Product of the Year in Kunststoffmagazin and the BSFZ Seal of Innovation. Whether raw material handling, weighing/dosing or mixing: OPDPRO.CARE creates the digital basis for more resilient, resource-efficient and economically strong production. Enter the next era of bulk material processing now – with OPDPRO.CARE.
OPD - SCADA
Visualisation that can do more. Control that thinks ahead. With OPDWin SCADA, you can get the most out of your processes – transparently, securely and scalably. OPDWin SCADA is more than just classic process visualisation. Our scalable solution enables intuitive, in-depth control and monitoring of your systems – individually configurable for the requirements of modern plastics processing. Whether in raw material handling, the mixing process or peripheral systems: OPD SCADA delivers precise real-time data, intelligent alarms and user-friendly interfaces that effectively support your employees. Thanks to its modular architecture and open interfaces (e.g. OPC UA, MQTT), OPDWin integrates seamlessly into your existing system landscape – from individual machines to control stations. Safety, efficiency and transparency are at the heart of the system: OPD SCADA gives you full control over your production processes and creates the conditions for data-based decisions in real time. Rely on a SCADA solution that thinks for itself – OPD SCADA. Made for bulk materials. Made for performance.
OPD - SPS
Machine-level intelligence. Precise. Robust. Future-proof. With OPD PLC systems, you can reliably automate your production – from components to entire plants. Our PLC solutions are specially tailored to the requirements of the bulk solids industry: flexible in application, easy to maintain in operation and ready for digital networking. Whether mixing plants or complex process chains – OPD PLC systems deliver robust automation that thinks for itself. Thanks to standardised interfaces (e.g. OPC UA, Profinet, MQTT), our controllers are fully Industry 4.0-compatible and can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT and OT infrastructures. In combination with OPD SCADA and OPDPRO.CARE, they enable end-to-end transparency and control – from the sensor to the management level. Our many years of industry experience, practical project implementation and in-depth process knowledge make OPD PLC systems the first choice for machine builders and operators who value stability, efficiency and future-proof technology. Automate your future – with OPD PLC systems.
OPD - Engineering & Control Cabinets
Engineering that understands. Control cabinets that deliver what they promise. We plan, build and deliver precision automation technology – ready for tomorrow's requirements. Whether it's a single system or a fully networked production system, our engineering team implements well-thought-out automation solutions that not only work on paper, but also in everyday use. From circuit diagrams and PLC programming to the finished control cabinet, we offer everything from a single source – with the utmost care, compliance with standards and practical experience. Our control cabinets are robust, EMC-compliant, easy to maintain and designed for demanding production environments in plastics processing. We rely on state-of-the-art components, structured wiring and clear documentation – all precisely tailored to your processes. As an integral part of our OPD system world, our solutions integrate seamlessly into SCADA, PLC and digital twins – for a continuous data flow from the sensor to the cloud. Engineering made in Germany – for efficiency, safety and a digital future.

OUT OF THE BOX Operating concepts
In order to design optimal process control, the user's movements and activities within the plant must be taken into account. The results are used to develop the operating concept for the individual stations of the entire plant. We supply you with the operating concept and implementation, from small control cabinets to the finished control room on site or switch room.
