Success Stories

Short write-ups showing how teams use these tools to improve quality, automation, and delivery speed.

1) VS Code adoption in a niche industry

Our top VS Code extension has passed 1600+ downloads since the official first release on 31 January. That number might look small in general software, but for industrial SCADA it’s a strong validation that modern WinCC OA tooling in VS Code is valuable.

2) A lightweight quality gate, adopted fast

Our youngest npm package, @winccoa-tools-pack/npm-winccoa-syntax-check, reached 94 downloads in 8 days. It’s a simple package that provides basic static analysis for WinCC OA projects — and it shows how important this quality gate is for WinCC OA customers and integrators. You can add it easily to your CI/CD pipeline or run it locally.

3) AI integration via MCP

Our MCP server closes the gap by enabling WinCC OA engineering inside the VS Code editor, so AI assistants and editor automation can integrate with real project context.
