Victory, the visual factory® is a visualization, control, and system integration platform from scharnagl.com gmbh for industrial automation. It is used to develop complex HMI/SCADA-style interfaces, control device components, and connect heterogeneous systems such as production lines and building technology. The current page shows Release 8.48.167.1960, with system requirements of Windows 10/11, a 32-bit application, and a required Runtime or Developer USB dongle.
The product’s core strengths lie in industrial communication and visualization development. Victory supports standards such as Siemens S7, Modbus, and OPC UA, and its built-in OPC-UA Server can publish all visualization variables. The graphical development environment supports drag-and-drop, alignment aids, and touch/keyboard/mouse operation. Its CPL language provides more than 1,000 functions covering automation, data processing, network access, and interface control, while also supporting asynchronous execution, external DLL extensions, and standalone EXE generation.
Victory includes built-in SQLite and Firebird support, and can also connect to external databases such as Oracle, MySQL, and MariaDB. Its alarm system is a notable strength, supporting email, SMS, and Pushover push notifications, as well as handling Emergency alarms that require acknowledgment, recording acknowledgment status and device information. For team governance, the system provides user and permission management, with group-based control over functions and source code access. The CPL editor includes Git-like version history and change comparison.
The official website discloses one-time license starting prices: Developer from €1,299 and Runtime from €399. Victory Boxed starts at €449, combining development and runtime capabilities and including all extensions plus one optional communication protocol. The page also provides a full installer download, but does not clearly state whether it is a trial version, what limitations apply, or whether any free license is available.
Its advantages are comprehensive industrial protocol support, alarms, databases, and local extensibility, making it suitable for equipment manufacturers, automation integrators, factory operations teams, and building automation teams. Limitations include the fact that only local Windows deployment is clearly specified, and a USB dongle is required. Information on cloud deployment, SLAs, subscription maintenance, compliance certifications, and customer cases is limited. There is no official statement on accessibility from China, so it is advisable to test access to the website, documentation downloads, and external services such as Pushover/SMS before purchasing.
