Challenge

What are the major challenges when shop floor components lack cohesion and maintenance isn't streamlined?

  • Disconnected components force engineers to configure and maintain each system separately, driving up engineering effort
  • Without common IT/OT management, monitoring and updating shop floor systems consistently becomes difficult
  • Fragmented systems slow down maintenance workflows and limit visibility into machine status across the line

Unify applications in one scalable platform

Solution

An all-inclusive on-premises OT device

  • Run modular applications on an on-premises OT device based on industrial edge technology
  • Unify OT disciplines within a single, integrated automation platform
  • Simplify IT/OT management and reduce engineering effort across automotive operations
