What is an Industrial Cloud?
In addition to data analysis and visualisation functions, the main task of an industrial cloud in the overall system is to manage devices in the field, such as IoT gateways. Depending on the company, user group, project and application, this is individually aligned, but is usually a private cloud. The data is often transferred to other cloud-based systems.
A INDUSTRIAL CLOUD TO MANAGE YOUR DEVICES
The device cloud is a crucial part of the Schildknecht Industry 4.0 platform. It monitors and manages connected devices, and ensures that they are secure and performing at their best. On top of that, the device cloud integrates with enterprise systems. The device cloud lowers operation costs of IoT networks by simplifying key functions, like deployment of new devices, remote diagnostics, updates and upgrades etc. While a gateway collects data from sensors and machinery at the edge of the network and passes it on, the device cloud works on another level. It is essential for efficient managing of IoT devices. Without the device cloud we would have to perform the time consuming and costly task of connecting every single device or sensor directly to the system. The device cloud does that for us, ensuring simple scalability, and fast integration of devices into the network.
MONITORING OF OLD AND NEW MACHINES ON THE FACTORY FLOOR
As an expert in industrial radio data transmission and an IoT system provider we know collecting data from the factory floor. With our IoT Ready-To-Use products we offer an efficient, scalable and cost effective solution for Asset Monitoring on the factory floor (OT). For instance, we can retrofit older machines, which are not connected to the network, with sensors measuring vibrations, temperature, noise etc.
With Schildknecht you can set up production-wide monitoring of all your machines and equipment and to channel all your data into one dashboard.
