Their Connectivity Management Platform, EMPort, enables their clients to retrieve and process information quickly and make smart decisions. | When AUVESY-MDT talks about the Internet of Things (IoT), they are not just talking about smart factories, but also smart products. The combination of the two means that the production of small batches and one-off products becomes practical even in highly automated facilities. versiondog is the certified enterprise solution for software and data management in the automated production. With versiondog, customers can make automated backups of their data and at the same time have a powerful versioning system for project data and documentation, including integrated lifecycle management. versiondog interprets data and programs of the different automated components and automates the administration of the flood of data and versions, which accrues in every production. versiondog does not only administrate all this project data but controls, analyses and monitors all changes in the devices and that automatically. The current producing program, the used parameters and set points as well as the clear version allocation are available at any time. octoplant是AUVESY-MDT研发的一款用于自动化生产中程序备份和版本管理的企业级解决方案，统一管理各种自动化设备(如：PLC、DCS、SCADA、机器人、HMI、CNC、相机、压机、拧紧枪、工控机、交换机、路由器、防护墙、马达驱动等)，通过对设备控制系统程序、参数进行自动备份、版本管理和软件状态记录、BI展示分析，确保制造过程的可视化、完全可追溯性且不受原制造商的限制，实现快速灾难恢复以提高运营效率，并减轻网络安全攻击，保持生产连续不间断。 Octoplant创新性地为工厂层的生产设施设备提供了一个中央数据管理系统，只需点击一个按钮，即可保护您的数据、质量证明、项目文档和变更管理。 | The proposed MES architecture is based on the Internet of Things (IoT), completely linking all resources and the manufacturing companies' security needs. Consequently, shop floor and IT clouds should be separated. In order for the machine level to reap benefits from cloud technologies, a specific modification known as the edge cloud or fog, was employed. The central instance, the Edge Gateway, connects the edge cloud with the IT cloud. Therefore, shop floor components can communicate with each other in real time and the IT cloud can retrieve and manage the data.
IT support in production plays a key role for Integrated Industry (Industry 4.0). In order to cover future production processes new standards and functions are required, which will especially affect MES applications. MPDV introduces a concept for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of the future MES 4.0. | The company wants to change that reality with its smart collaborative robots like Baxter and Sawyer that can easily work with humans and adapt to real-world variability and imperfections.
A collaborative robot, as Rethink's engineers define it, is intended to work interactively in a people-compatible way. Unlike traditional robots, Baxter learns by training, not by programming. | A profitable service business requires efficient machinery and devices, quick solutions to arising problems and services that bring concrete improvements to the production process. Smart and innovative devices can help direct the user to optimize their process, collect and display data relevant to the process and communicate with their surroundings. Smart devices enable efficient production, which differentiates the product from its competition and moves the focus from the acquisition cost to the lifecycle benefits. Reliability of delivery, flexibility and a constant ability to generate quality are the cornerstones of customer satisfaction and quick capital turnover. All this needs an ever growing amount of data to be processed in real time throughout the supply chain. Work that does not enhance efficiency must be automated and people moved into processes where they can add value.
Roima has helped their customers create new business models such as digital services using the Industrial Internet. They have proven experience of how customers can achieve marked improvements in their ROI using modern digital solutions. | | Occupancy data helps cities optimize usage, revenue and value from parking assets.
