Capture real-time data from your connected products, plants, machines and systems. Gain valuable insights, optimize operational efficiency, create high-quality, sustainable products and deploy new business models — all with the help of an integrated Edge, IIoT and lifecycle analytics solution.
Manufacturers face various challenges in their business, including inflationary and sustainability pressures, shortage of skilled workers and supply chain disruptions. Their plants are often equipped with outdated legacy equipment that is less efficient, more energy intensive and requires more frequent maintenance than modern alternatives. With outdated systems, they lack necessary transparency into plants, processes, machines and product performance.
This combination of challenges inevitably results in unplanned downtime, lower productivity and reduced product quality, making it even more difficult to achieve expected operational efficiency.
