SIMATIC MindSphere Apps 

The SIMATIC Performance Insight MindSphere application enables you to optimize the performance of machines and plants on the basis of current operating data. Whether for a single machine, a complete production line or machines and plants distributed around the world, you will benefit from the greater transparency created by SIMATIC Performance Insight. You can calculate your individual KPIs on the basis of the data to optimize important figures, such as overall equipment efficiency, quality and output. Clearly arranged dashboards and graphics enable you to compare the performance of different machines, plants, locations and production shifts. This gives you, as a plant operator, a solid basis for your decisions, and as a machine manufacturer you can offer your customers a better service.

Reduce your downtimes by having more information. The SIMATIC Notifier MindSphere application simply sends appropriate messages to the mobile terminal devices or smart devices of your operating and maintenance employees. No material in the machine? Contact your service technicians no matter where you are in the plant. Is there a fault in the machine? Have your service technicians report directly from the machine, even before the machine operator makes contact. With the SIMATIC Notifier you can access individual notifications through the web or app devices, no matter where the user is. The application can be configured so that each person only receives those messages he or she needs.

The SIMATIC Machine Monitor MindSphere application helps machine and plant constructors to monitor the operating states and service requirements of their machines, which may be in use all over the world. The application displays the relevant key figures on a clearly laid out dashboard. You can quickly access detailed data from this information to optimize the performance capability and availability of machines. As a machine manufacturer, you benefit from better and more dynamic planning of your service activities. The application not only gives you information about productivity and availability but also has maintenance interval indicators to help you plan worldwide service jobs, an alarm monitor for searching for causes, and data about the actual use of the machine.

The SIMATIC Energy Manager MindSphere application will help you to monitor the energy consumption of your machines and plants even if they are distributed throughout the world. With the application, you can call, analyze and compare the energy data through MindSphere, for example to determine global benchmarks and identify potential for optimization. The application displays the relevant key energy consumption figures on configurable dashboards, and so supports the planning and implementation of efficiency measures. In this way you not only create energy transparency in accordance with ISO 50001 but also benefit from a comprehensive analysis of your energy consumption in respect of costs and loads.

With the SIMATIC Machine Insight MindSphere application you can monitor the status and performance of your worldwide machine park. Via the cloud, the application also offers you access to the system diagnostic data of the SIMATIC and SINAMICS components of your machines and plants, and so not only supports fault finding and rectification, but also facilitates further optimization measures. Analyze the most frequent fault messages, compare the diagnostic data from machines at various locations throughout the world, and investigate possible causes of faults retrospectively to reduce periodic faults and optimize service on site.
