Helios Technologies Expands OpenView™ Platform with CODESYS® Support
CODESYS® Integration Enhances Flexibility and Efficiency for Customers and Partners
Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology, has announced a significant expansion of its OpenView™ display platform. The addition of CODESYS® functionality to the platform offers customers and distribution channel partners enhanced flexibility and a streamlined development experience. This update is developed by Enovation Controls, a key part of Helios’ Electronics segment, and reinforces the Company’s commitment to an open software strategy that benefits OEMs, system integrators, and end users alike.
OpenView™ Platform Now CODESYS®-Enabled
The integration of CODESYS® on the OpenView™ platform allows customers to use a single industrial development environment to program both uControl™ controllers and OpenView™ displays. By providing a unified programming framework, Helios reduces engineering complexity and accelerates time to market for HMI solutions. This development represents a critical step forward in the Company’s mission to deliver customer-driven, open software solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern industrial automation.
Sean Bagan, President and CEO of Helios Technologies, emphasized the strategic significance of this enhancement:
This expansion of the OpenView™ platform reflects our commitment to open, customer-driven software strategies. By supporting CODESYS®, we are enabling our customers and distribution partners to work more efficiently, leverage proven code, and deploy scalable HMI solutions using their preferred toolset.
Benefits for OEMs and System Integrators
CODESYS® is widely recognized across multiple sectors, including factory automation, process control, mobile machinery, building automation, and energy systems. Its adoption within the OpenView™ platform allows Helios’ customers to leverage a standardized, industry-proven development environment while maintaining full compatibility with existing Helios control hardware.
This unified programming capability reduces the need for engineers to learn multiple software environments or maintain separate toolchains for controllers and HMI displays. By simplifying the development workflow, Helios helps OEMs and system integrators accelerate project timelines and minimize development costs, while ensuring robust and scalable solutions for their end users.
Remote Visualization with CODESYS® WebVisu
Beyond programming efficiencies, the CODESYS®-enabled OpenView™ platform unlocks access to CODESYS® WebVisu, a remote visualization and diagnostics tool. WebVisu enables developers and operators to monitor and interact with HMI applications remotely, improving system diagnostics, reducing downtime, and increasing operational efficiency.
This remote access capability provides significant value for customers in mobile, industrial, and energy markets, where minimizing on-site intervention can save time and reduce costs. By incorporating WebVisu functionality, Helios strengthens its OpenView™ platform as a future-ready solution capable of meeting the demands of increasingly connected industrial environments.
Industry Adoption: Evolution Motion Solutions
Early adoption of the CODESYS®-enabled OpenView™ platform demonstrates the real-world benefits of this technology. Evolution Motion Solutions, a long-standing customer and partner of Enovation Controls, is among the first to implement the new platform.
Kyle Lorch, Mobile Market Manager at Evolution Motion Solutions, highlighted the advantages:
Built on an open, CODESYS®-enabled foundation, the OpenView™ platform makes controls simple with easy programming, quick processing speeds, and user-friendly interaction on a high-resolution touch screen display. We incorporate the OpenView™ S50 in mobile equipment for full machine control as it is a great fit for many of our mobile/off-highway customers who value ease of use, ruggedness, and excellent performance.
This adoption illustrates the platform’s versatility across a variety of industrial and mobile equipment applications, supporting everything from machine-level control to operator interface optimization.
Commitment to Open, Customer-Focused Software
Helios Technologies continues to prioritize an open, scalable software ecosystem that provides tangible benefits to both customers and channel partners. By adding CODESYS® functionality to OpenView™, Helios reinforces its position as a leader in integrated electronic and motion control solutions, offering tools that are not only powerful but also intuitive and compatible with existing industry standards.
The company’s focus on open software aligns with broader industry trends, where interoperability and flexibility are increasingly critical for OEMs and system integrators seeking to deliver efficient, future-proof solutions.
Showcasing at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026
The CODESYS®-enabled OpenView™ platform will be featured at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, taking place in Las Vegas. Helios Technologies will exhibit alongside its subsidiaries Enovation Controls, Sun Hydraulics, and Faster, showcasing a comprehensive portfolio of electronic and hydraulic solutions for construction, industrial, and mobile equipment applications.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations of the platform, experience remote visualization through WebVisu, and interact with the user-friendly OpenView™ interface. This exhibition underscores Helios’ dedication to innovation, collaboration, and customer-driven design.
A Future-Ready Solution for Modern HMI Development
By integrating CODESYS® into the OpenView™ platform, Helios empowers its customers to simplify development, accelerate deployment, and optimize operational efficiency. The enhancement supports a wide range of industrial and mobile applications, offering OEMs and integrators a flexible, high-performance solution that adapts to evolving market requirements.
As the industrial landscape becomes increasingly connected and software-driven, Helios’ commitment to open, interoperable platforms positions the Company as a reliable partner for customers seeking efficient, scalable, and future-ready control solutions.
With this update, Helios Technologies reaffirms its dedication to advancing motion control and electronic systems, providing tools that help customers deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions across multiple markets.
