Our Services

Connecting Machines offers enormous advantages for your company: The transparency you create in the production enables more efficient management and additional services for your customers. The IoT capability of a product paves the way for new value-added services and revenue increases. Many different connection standards, secure IT/OT communication (Internet of Things/Operational Technology), and integration into existing processes and reporting represent a significant challenge in practice.

 

With our partner TTTech Industrial in the field of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and a strong partner network for hardware and device management, we can provide you comprehensive support and advice for the introduction or even optimization of Connected Machines. 

Connected Machines in Practice

Your Challenge

A heterogeneous machinery distributed across several locations and responsibilities can pose a challenge for fast transformation projects: How can equipment of different classes and vintages be networked and monitored in a structured way? What added value does the acquired data generate, and how do you attract skilled personnel to address further developments or malfunctions?

The Vision

The target is to connect Machines as quickly and cost-efficiently as possible. We rely on technology that adapts flexibly to your individual needs and not vice versa. By quickly capturing, analyzing and interpreting data, you can optimize existing processes and respond quickly to unforeseen events to ensure smooth operation.

Our Solution

We offer you a complete solution: setting up data infrastructures is one of our strengths - our network of partners contributes the necessary hardware (e.g., edge devices) and management software. In addition, we train your employees and provide tools that allow even non-IT experts to run data analyses. If required, we can take over the operation of your infrastructure.

Advantages for You as a Manufacturing Company

Increase transparency

The key to responding to a volatile environment is transparency - the comprehensive and transparent insight into your production. We make visible and thus controllable.

Improve efficiency

Machine data helps you become more efficient: For example, through automated replenishment, production planning, or predictive models using AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Boost production quality

Connected Machines themselves check the completeness of work steps or the correct production flow. In this way, you close the gap between planning and reality.

Raise the level of automation

The better machines are integrated, the more options arise. For example, automated quality control or the creation of Digital Twins.

Enabling new business models

In addition to connecting your own machines, your products can also be delivered to customers IoT-enabled. The basis for new sales and additional services.

Offer new value-added services

Use the data from your sold machines to learn and to create new services for your customers.
