Use Case 3: Interlinked production

Task

Companies often have a high dependency on central servers in their production environment. In the event of a network failure or the failure of the central server, the entire production process comes to a standstill. Existing central applications are inflexible and extensions are complex and costly.

Solution

• installation of an edge device on each plant
  • networking of the devices among each other
  • connection of the necessary signals
• project planning of a machine-to-machine communication
• decentralized data storage
  • storage of order data
  • buffer for quality data

Result

• no production downtime due to network problems
• availability of order data for rework
• direct transfer of production data to subsequent process
• processing of quality data close to the machine
