4.14

Version 4.14 is a major milestone in P4’s evolution into a configurable, no-code manufacturing platform.
This release focuses on two complementary areas:

Public expansion of Configuration Studio as a no-code platform core for integrations and technical operations
Significant improvements to Shopfloor View for batch-based production, making execution clearer and more operator-friendly

Together, these changes strengthen both how P4 is configured and how it is used on the shopfloor.

Configuration Studio – Enabling No-Code Platform Operations

In version 4.14, Configuration Studio becomes a truly usable no-code environment for advanced configuration and integration scenarios.

No-code data imports and integrations
Integrations can now be prepared visually without custom development, significantly reducing implementation effort.
Broader scope of technical configuration
Configuration Studio now covers integrations, application-level settings, and selected operational aspects in one place.
Designed for consultants and advanced users
The studio is mature enough to be used directly during implementations, workshops, and onboarding projects.

This release clearly establishes Configuration Studio as the backbone of the P4 no-code platform vision.

No-Code Integrations – Structured Data In, Without Custom Code

Version 4.14 introduces the first production-ready layer of no-code integrations, focused on structured data ingestion.

Visual mapping of external data to P4 objects
CSV, JSON, and XML formats can be mapped through a graphical interface.
Multiple supported data sources
- File-based imports (CSV)
- API-based imports (JSON, XML)
- Direct database connections
Faster onboarding and lower integration cost
Many common integration scenarios no longer require custom scripts or developer involvement.

Current scope note:
This version focuses on data mapping and ingestion. More advanced data transformations and complex logic are planned for version 4.15.

Shopfloor View – Batch Production Made Clear and Executable

Alongside platform improvements, version 4.14 delivers an important usability upgrade for batch-based production on the shopfloor.

Improved Shopfloor View for batch production
Batch manufacturing is now presented in a clearer and more structured way, reducing cognitive load for operators.
Redesigned declaration layout for production batches
The declaration screen for batch production has been reworked to better reflect real production flow and operator needs.
Faster and more reliable execution by operators
Operators can declare production steps more intuitively, with fewer errors and less back-and-forth.

This enhancement is particularly valuable for process and batch-oriented manufacturing, where clarity and speed of execution directly impact throughput and quality.

Process Builder & Platform Foundations – Continued Under-the-Hood Progress

While not always visible to end users, 4.14 continues to strengthen the platform core.

Further Process Builder enhancements
Incremental improvements in process execution, parameters, and node behavior support future no-code scenarios.
Closer alignment between configuration, processes, and execution
The platform continues its shift toward configuration-driven behavior instead of hard-coded logic.

These changes are foundational and enable faster, safer evolution in upcoming releases.

What This Release Brings to Customers and Partners

Integrations can be configured without custom development
Consultants gain greater independence during implementations
Batch production is easier to execute and less error-prone on the shopfloor
P4 moves closer to a scalable, no-code manufacturing platform

Product Positioning Insight

Version 4.14 is not about adding isolated features.
It is about unlocking scale—both in how P4 is configured and how complex production scenarios (like batch manufacturing) are executed reliably on the shopfloor.
