Industrial IoT

Developing IIoT solutions can be very resource intensive: Complex requirements, difficult-to-solve challenges, lengthy certification and standardization processes, and a rapidly changing competitive environment. All this requires years of development work to come up with a finished solution on your own.

In the context of IIoT, raw data needs to be transformed into some kind of tangible value. To avoid overloading your communications infrastructure, the software is placed as close to the machines as possible. This reduces your response time and makes IIoT solutions more efficient.

Software has completely different lifecycles than hardware. As a manufacturer, you need to ensure that your software is always up to date and always ends up where it’s supposed to. Rolling out and managing software on the production floor from a central location is key to streamlining operations.

Answering the question, “Where does my data go and who has access to it?” is more important than ever in an era of end-to-end connectivity. You need to be able to decide where the data goes and how it is processed. Use our platform or connect to other cloud services like Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS). MQTT serves as the industry standard for the transmission of IIoT data.

IIoT solutions typically require access to a plant’s automation network. As a component supplier, we’ve been developing industrial communication solutions for machines and networks such as PROFINET, EtherCAT and Ethernet/IP for more than 35 years. You can rely on our multiprotocol netX communication controllers and our expertise as a market leader.

Our management platform gives you centralized access to your edge devices, whether you use Hilscher devices or those from third-party suppliers. This allows you to access data down to the control-level of your machines, including their programming.
