abstract = {{The beamlines of the Swiss Light Source (SLS) predominantly rely on EPICS standards as their control interface but in contrast to many other facilities, there is up to now no standardized user interfacing component to orchestrate, monitor and provide feedback on the data acquisition. As a result, the beamlines have either adapted community solutions or developed their own high-level orchestration system. For the upgrade project SLS 2.0, a sub-project was initiated to facilitate a unified beamline and experiment control system. During a pilot phase and a first development cycle, libraries of the Bluesky project were used, combined with additional in-house developed services, and embedded in a service-based approach with a message broker and in-memory database. Leveraging the community solutions paired with industry standards, enabled the development of a highly modular system which provides the flexibility needed for a constantly changing scientific environment. One year after the development started, the system was already tested during many weeks of user operation and recently received the official approval by the involved divisions to be rolled out as part of the SLS 2.0 upgrade. }},
