	MAX IV Laboratory, inaugurated in June 2016, has for the last 8 months accepted synchrotron users on three beamlines, NanoMAX, BioMAX and Hippie, while simultaneously pushing towards bringing more beamlines into the commissioning and user phases. As evidence of this, the last call issued addressed 10 beamlines. As of summer 2019, MAX IV has reached a point where 11 beamlines simultaneously have shutters open and are thus receiving light under stable operation. With 16 beamlines funded, the number of beamlines will grow over the coming years. The Controls and IT group has performed numerous beamline system installations such as a sample changer at BioMAX, Dectris detector at Nanomax, and End Station at Hippie. It has additionally developed processes, such as automated IT infrastructure with a view to accepting users. We foresee a focus on end stations and detectors, as well as data storage, data handling and scientific software. As an example, a project entitled "DataStaMP" has been recently funded aiming to increase the data and metadata storage and management system in order to accommodate the ever increasing demand for storage and access.

	The experimental capabilities at the MAX IV synchrotron consists of 17 beamlines at full capacity. Each beamline puts different requirements on the control system in terms of data acquisition, high performance, data volume, pre-processing needs, and fast experiment feedback and online visualization. Therefore, high demands are put on the data management systems, and the reliability and performance of these systems has a big impact on the overall success of the facility. At MAX IV we have started the DataStaMP (Data Storage and Management Project) with the aim of providing a unified and reliable solution for all data sources in our facility. This work presents the control system aspects of the project. It is initially aimed at providing data management solution for a selected number of detectors and beamlines. It is developed in a modular and scalable architecture and combines several programming languages and frameworks. All the software runs in a dedicated cluster and communicates with the experimental stations through high performance networks, using gRPC to talk to the control system and ZMQ for retrieving the data stream.
