Digital Retrofit
Description
Even a twenty-year-old machine can deliver data. We retrofit existing equipment with sensors, gateways and interfaces, capture states, counts and faults and make them available to your systems – without intervening in the running controller where that is not necessary.
Features
- Connection via OPC UA, MQTT, PROFINET or directly to the existing PLC
- Retrofitting of sensors and edge gateways for equipment without an interface
- Capture of counts, states, faults and energy consumption (OEE metrics)
- Integration into MES, ERP, cloud platforms or your own dashboards
- Traceability by linking part and process data
- Network segmentation and secured access (IT/OT separation)
Industries
- Automotive and supplier industry
- Mechanical and plant engineering
- Food and packaging industry
- Metal processing
