Asset Orchestration Platform

Why AOP - The enabler for the flexible production?

The AOP enables high flexible production environments and brings operability and decision-making directly to the shopfloor level without extensive investments and skills. The single web-based and mobile solution empowers operators without programming skills to configure, change and execute process workflows and addresses skilled labor shortage, international cost pressures, volatile supply chains and enable flexibility and HMLV production.

Benefits

Standardized Connectivity Layer
• Translator for communication protocols e.g. OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, + many more.
• Integration of various assets and customer systems e.g. ERP, MES, AI Analytics, WMS, etc. via standardized APIs.
• Complete vertical puncture down to the individual component.
Data-Harmonization
• Raw data collection from many heterogeneous data points and transfer into a uniform and easy-to-understand AAS data model
• Centralized, bidirectional data platform for all higher-level applications
Brownfield Digitalization
• Cost-effective connection of "offline" machines and individual devices
• Installation of "Edge" individual controllers from different manufacturers or according to customer specifications.
• No intervention or change in process-critical machine controls necessary.
Low Code Programming
• Orchestration instead of programming by graphical low-code approach
• No expert or high-level coding language knowledge is necessary
• Ressource optimization, change and optimization direct on the shopfloor level
Decoupling & Modularization
• Function-decoupling for control, process, sequence control
• Complexity reduction of programming, sequence control as "workflows" and "skills"
• High reusability of AAS and "workflows"
• Flexible adaptation of workflows to volatile supply chains, orders, capacities
