Challenge

The varied production environments of food and beverage companies can make it difficult to use production data in the best possible way. Manufacturers need to establish a secure, centralized solution for shop floor data.

Solution

Our solutions provide comprehensive connectivity to automation and upper-level systems. Based on edge computing and modular applications, our solution delivers an overlaying edge layer as an aggregator for data harmonization.

Master your production data

Food and beverage manufacturers work with multiple data types collected using various automation and shop floor protocols. Our solutions help you collect and form this data to harmonious data sets before sending it to IT and cloud systems, so you can:

  • Centralize your shop floor data
  • Securely connect shop floor and upper-level systems
  • Complete further processing, like global analysis
  • Streamline your processes and reduce manual efforts
