With multiple beamlines and experimental stations completed and in steady use, the facility is now approaching the third phase of development, which includes the final two of the 16 planned beamlines in user operation. The focus is on achieving operational excellence by optimizing reliability and performance. Meanwhile, the strategy for the coming years is driven by the need to accommodate a growing user base, exploring the possibility of operating a Soft X-ray Laser (SXL), and achieving the diffraction limit for 10 keV of the 3 GeV. The Technical Division is responsible for the control and computing systems of the entire laboratory. This new organization provides a coherent strategy and a clear vision, with the ultimate goal of enabling science. The increasing demand for more precise and efficient control systems has led to significant developments and maintenance efforts. Pushing the limits in remote access, data generation, time-resolved and fly-scan experiments, and beam stability requires the proper alignment of technology in IT infrastructure, electronics, software, data analysis, and management. This article discusses the motivation behind the updates, emphasizing the expansion of the control system’s capabilities and reliability. Lastly, the technological strategy will be presented to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology landscape, ensuring that MAX IV is prepared for its next major upgrade.
