Automated production lines already provide considerable amounts of data due to the sensors required for their functionality. Making this data from the field level accessible to higher-level systems is usually feasible with little effort and manageable costs. This has enormous potential, as the additional information can massively improve production control, resource and capacity planning and, last but not least, quality monitoring.
In order to be able to raise the enormous potentials existing in this approach, it is often necessary to think “outside the box”.
In most cases, the greatest advantages can be achieved by combining software interfaces from different worlds (field level, control system, production planning, ERP), which are often designed and implemented in completely different ways in existing software landscapes.
We are ideally positioned due our highly qualified team to work with you finding the shortcuts and to implement excellent tailor-made solutions.
Optimizing planning phases
When planning new plants, we routinely evaluate and optimize interoperability in advance through intensive testing with the underlying digital twins in order to minimize downtime and largely eliminate risks during commissioning.
