Accurate and fast data are crucial for the essential synchronization in wind farms. Continuously monitoring the turbine, blades and foundation performance support decision-making on planned maintenance and design validations and can help to avoid unplanned shut down periods or costly repairs in the event of failure.

The possibility of access to relevant data and use of a virtually unlimited remote management system from any place with Internet access is becoming indispensable for modern production management. High flexibility appears to be one of the best characteristics for the entire system as well.

Farm Data Systems and Azcal Management reduce pump management time by up to 90%. FDS Ignition client app for Water Informatics can be used on phones to power up pumps within seconds, along with an ability to see pressures and flows continuously and make adjustments without visiting any of the…

VXLAN is a protocol that embeds the logical Layer 2 communication in Layer 3 packets. This makes it possible to transmit Layer 2 protocols transparently across network boundaries, such as in routed Layer 3 5G infrastructures. This new approach is enabling use of PROFINET over private 5G industrial networks.

Data is a treasure for every company; the question is how to lift this treasure safely and efficiently? For ROBUR Automation, an industry and application-suitable data preprocessing is key. For this task, ROBUR relies on a local processing engine to provide a new parking experience in the German city of…

TwinCAT 3 IoT Data Agent feeds the data lake at Wienerberger AG. In the digitalization initiative, the Group started sending several million measured values to the cloud every day for analysis, to derive actionable insights in all areas of the company as a basis for targeted optimization measures.

The AGAMEDE project is an interdisciplinary project combining robotics, computer science, industrial design, mathematics, biology and chemistry. Thanks to Labomatica’s Gene Game software, the system is ’closed loop‘. It prepares and reads the data, interprets it and then independently adjusts the test series.

By using Smart Grid gateways for monitoring energy networks, existing systems, new devices and control systems can be connected – regardless of the communication technology or the manufacturer brand.

Unified HMIs installed at the automation edge effectively connect users to their data by bridging OT plant data with workflows and IT tools. Advances will improve machine performance, reduce downtime, enable greater profitability, and fuel connected enterprises through the Industry 4.0 revolution.

Predictive maintenance has the potential to open up new service models for machine builders. Using machine data, it is possible to more precisely forecast maintenance cycles. Machine builders can offer customers custom tailored service that keeps machines in the field in optimal condition at all times.
