Unified Architecture
The capital of your company in the "Digital Factory" and "Smart City" vision.
Mastering data via Modbus, MQTT, BACnet and OPC UA, converting it into meaningful information and thus promoting your business, that is the first step. Providing modern interfaces (API, Data Stores) for new and innovative ideas is the following valuable step.
To meet the growing strategic importance of data and information management in the industry, we offer individual digital solutions and their integration into your work process. We are pro-active in projects of the Industrie 4.0 platform of the ZVEI, Eclipse Foundation, Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA), for Node-RED, Node-OPCUA, and in the OPC Foundation. Thus, we have connected a functioning network of experts and have good experience as well as a good overview of what can support you best.
Whether ECLASS, digital twin, digital type plate, decentralized control with PC and/or PLC or the digital management of documents and changing information at objects. Whether modern machine communication or open standards between man and machine or whether edge, on-premise or cloud.
We know and use the technologies from the sensor to the cloud.
Sounds a lot? That's just the first impression. The technology structure and the interplay of all sub-areas fits together well thanks to our experience of more than 10 years in Industry 4.0 and the use of open standards and open source code. The world is getting more complex and we are making it simpler again by "hiding" the complexity and helping you focus on what matters - adding value to you.
We are working on the future for the manufacturing and energy industries without "vendor lock-in".
