Selmo Technology has released a new version of Selmo Studio and Selmo HMI. The latest version includes numerous improvements in performance, user-friendliness, process analysis, and software architecture.
A key component of this release is the transition to .NET 8. This modern technology platform ensures higher performance, faster response times, more efficient resource utilization, long-term maintainability, and compliance with current security standards.
User guidance has also been further optimized. The redesigned view concept improves the overview in Selmo Studio, while simplified zone handling speeds up configurations and reduces potential input errors. In addition, the enhanced Selmo HMI offers optimized operating workflows and expanded error handling for faster diagnostics and troubleshooting.
“This release brings together numerous improvements that stem directly from our customers’ requirements. From the new .NET 8 platform to optimized user guidance and enhanced analysis functions—every enhancement is designed to make engineering more efficient, transparent, and future-proof.”
— Thomas Schönegger, Head of Software, Selmo Technology
With the new Data Record and Automatic Report features, Selmo is also expanding the capabilities for analyzing machine behavior. Relevant process data is automatically recorded and evaluated in clear, easy-to-read reports. This provides companies with in-depth insights into operating times, downtime, and cycle times.
The new Absolute Jump feature complements the Logic Layer by providing direct and targeted control over process flows and simplifies the implementation of complex logic structures.
With this latest release, Selmo Technology underscores its commitment to continuously developing Selmo Studio and providing companies with a powerful, future-proof platform for modern software engineering in the machine and plant engineering industries.
What is Selmo Studio?
Selmo Studio is an engineering platform for the model-based development and implementation of automation software. Instead of programming machine sequences exclusively in PLC code, the desired machine behavior is structured, modeled, and clearly defined directly within the platform.
This creates a standardized and documented machine logic that is easier to understand, reuse, and evolve throughout the entire machine lifecycle.
Selmo Studio combines no-code engineering with targeted low-code capabilities, enabling both simple and complex automation projects to be implemented efficiently, transparently, and independently of the underlying control platform.

FAQ – Key Changes at a Glance
-
Why was Selmo Studio migrated to .NET 8?
With the migration to .NET 8, Selmo Studio and the Selmo HMI are now built on a modern, high-performance technology platform.
This delivers several key benefits:
- Higher performance
- Faster response times
- More efficient resource utilization
- Up-to-date security standards
- Long-term maintainability
For users, this means a faster, more stable working environment and a platform that is well equipped to support future requirements.
-
What improvements have been made to Zone Handling?
Zone Handling has been completely redesigned to provide a more intuitive user experience.
Zones can now be configured and parameterized more easily, reducing engineering effort and helping to prevent common input errors.
Especially in larger projects, the new workflow improves clarity and enables more efficient engineering.
-
What improvements have been made to the Selmo HMI?
The Selmo HMI has been further enhanced to provide an even better user experience.
Key improvements include:
- More intuitive workflows
- Enhanced error handling
- Clearer error messages
- Faster fault diagnosis
These improvements enable users to identify and resolve issues more quickly—both during commissioning and in day-to-day operation.
-
What's new in the Studio redesign?
Several areas of Selmo Studio have been redesigned both visually and functionally.
The new view concept provides a clearer overview of complex projects and makes it easier to navigate between different work areas.
The result is a more structured engineering experience, with shorter navigation paths and a more intuitive user interface.
-
What is Absolute Jump?
Absolute Jump is a new feature within the Logic Layer.
It enables a direct jump to a predefined target without requiring additional conditions.
This makes it easier to structure process sequences and improves the clarity of complex logic.
-
What is Data Record?
Data Record automatically captures relevant process data based on the Selmo data model.
This includes, for example:
- Operating times
- Downtimes
- Machine stoppages
The structured data collection provides a reliable foundation for analyzing and optimizing machine behavior.
-
What is Automatic Report?
Automatic Report automatically generates reports at user-defined times or over specified reporting periods.
Reports can include, for example:
- Operating times
- Downtimes
- Cycle times
This ensures that key operational data is always available automatically and can be used for analysis and continuous improvement.
