Orchestria (dgtis): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Orchestria is a modular software framework from dgtis SA for controlling and programming industrial machines and production systems. It provides a customisable operator interface with context-specific pages, alarm management, recipes, an audit log and libraries, a machine synoptic view and interactive documentation. Connectors include ADS, FOCAS and OPC-UA, with a traceability module for 21 CFR Part 11 and modules for industrial machine vision (Lensia) and production management (Factoria). It is aimed at machine builders and industrial users, for example in watchmaking, medical and semiconductor manufacturing.

dgtis SA is headquartered in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland. Its website names Swiss industrial backers but no parent company. Switzerland is not in the EU but is an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. Orchestria is software that runs on or next to the machine; no cloud location or data hosting is stated, so data stays in the environment you choose yourself. Ask the vendor about the exact set-up and any external services.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Orchestria (dgtis)

Orchestria (dgtis) is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

Orchestria (dgtis) runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Orchestria (dgtis) is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Orchestria (dgtis) together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
