IIoT Platform for Seamless Connectivity in Industry 4.0

More than ever, businesses in the digital age are reliant on optimizing and organizing their processes more efficiently. Rapid technology change and the introduction of newer and newer installations, systems and equipment are confronting many of them with the complex challenge of integrating and interconnecting these components in manufacturing.

This is not just a matter of technical integration but also of smooth data flow and avoidance of format incompatibility. Incorrect integration of a new production machine or missing or inconsistent data in manufacturing can result in expensive errors and delays that diminish a business’s productivity and profitability.

This is where our IIoT platform comes into play. It not only meets these challenges but also links different stand-alone systems. It helps you ensure seamless integration and communication in your manufacturing, thus maximizing the benefits of digitalization.

Our IIoT platform’s main features and functions:

• Universal protocol support: Our platform supports all common IIoT protocols. A key transformation component converts different data formations and structures so that they flow bilaterally to and from installations and equipment.
• Flexibility and scalability: The platform is designed to be upgraded and modified easily. In theory, the number of devices and systems connected is unlimited.
• Cloud-based: The platform can be operated on-premise or in the cloud, enabling high availability.
• Proprietary applications and data processing: Users can install proprietary applications and services on the platform and (pre-)process data to connect individual machines and equipment.

Building a smart factory with our IIoT platform as a control center

Our IIoT platform is an integrated service that provides the components needed to interconnect different IIoT-capable installations, systems and resources efficiently. It links the IIoT components and applications to create value for businesses by exchanging the data they generate or need.

The most important IIoT platform features and functions:

• Device management: The IIoT platform makes it easy to add, monitor and manage installations and equipment on a large scale.
• Data processing and storage: The platform can process and store large quantities of data generated by connected devices.
• Data analysis: Tools are provided or proprietary applications and services can be installed to analyze collected data to recognize patterns, make forecasts or make decisions.
• Integration: The IIoT platform can be integrated with other systems and applications, whether they be cloud services, business application or other technologies.
• Security: The IIoT platform provides robust security functions to protect both data and connected components from unauthorized access or attacks.
• Connectivity: The IIoT platform ensures that IIoT devices and applications can exchange data among themselves regardless of the interfaces, protocols and data formats or structures used.
• Application development: the IIoT platform provides a software development kit to connect standard or user-defined applications based on the platform’s data and services.

This makes our IIoT platform a key element in any business’s IIoT ecosystem. The platform establishes a bridge between all physical devices and digital applications. It enables businesses and developers to create, manage and scale IIoT solutions efficiently.

Our IIoT platform is the answer to the growing demands of Industry 4.0. It provides businesses an efficient, flexible and cost-effective solution for integrating and connecting their systems and technologies.

Benefits of our IIoT platform:

• Easy integration: Standard interfaces enable businesses to connect their systems quickly and easily. Furthermore, the connection of standard applications or proprietary applications is configured specifically on the platform, making complex and expensive customization of integrated applications unnecessary.
• Cost efficiency: The use of open-source solutions eliminates additional licensing fees.
• Optimized business processes: The platform improves data availability and analysis, optimizing business processes and cutting costs.
