Automation Systems > Industrial IOT

As part of Industry 4.0, networking of production and office IT continues to expand. Production data is collected and evaluated in the cloud to optimize production. Networking of existing plants is a major challenge in this regard, because the machines from different manufacturers and on different technological levels often do not speak the same data language. The solution is often time-consuming and complex retrofitting in these situations.

An intelligent gateway that harmonizes communication between the various data sources, analyses it and forwards it to the corresponding recipients, is a solution that can be easily implemented in these scenarios. It can be used to implement production concepts even for existing plants that are prepared to face the future.
