Use Case 6: Edge entry per Plug & Play

Task

Companies often have no or only outdated automation technology on their machines/plants. As a result, the processes are not transparent. There is a lack of important key figures (KPI/OEE) to monitor the productivity of the machines/systems and any malfunctions that occur. The effort for upgrading or modernizing the automation technology is often too cost-intensive.

Solution

• selection of a potential machine/plant
• use of the focus-Edge case to connect the machine/plant
  • only 230V power supply and network connection necessary
  • connection via digital signals 24VDC or 230VAC
    z. e.g. status: operation, malfunction, counter for number of pieces, OEE, etc.
  • installation <= 1 day on-site
  • 4 weeks free use of focus-Edge case (subject to availability)

Result

• clear representation of machines/plant status in the dashboard
• access via browser, desktop or mobile
• immediate benefit through verifiable costs when using edge technology
