Engineering and Integration Services

You can enjoy the full benefits of digitalization by using digital twins in your production plant. The data that is constantly being generated and analyzed forms the basis for generating digital models of entire plants and systems. Digital twins thus enable you to test new processes or configurations before they’re implemented in your plant on-site – without unnecessary downtimes and costs, but with the certainty that the new solution has already been thoroughly tested.

When integrating your system components into the defined digitalization strategy of your company, we also follow a modular strategy. You decide whether all of your installed systems should be connected to one another, or only part of your machine tools, drive systems, automation and process control systems. In either case, our service experts ensure that your status and operating data go where they can be safely stored and evaluated – in the cloud or in local edge computing systems.

With Industrial Connectivity Services you set the basis for the successful digital transformation of your production.

Our service experts connect green- and brownfield plants, machines, and components to higher-level systems, regardless of the age or of manufacturer.

Thanks to connectivity, you can access your data streams which are necessary for optimizing your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), identifying failures, and boosting productivity through greater traceability.

The continuous recording, transfer and monitoring of your machine and production data has numerous advantages for your production process. In addition to the on-going quality assurance, you always have precise knowledge of the current status of your plant, can plan downtimes for maintenance measures, and operate your systems and machines more efficiently and profitably thanks to optimized workflows.

With a virtual machine or digital twin, you can anticipate, test, and optimize all aspects of real operation in a standardized testing and development environment without having to tighten a single screw in the real system. You can even train your personnel in the operation of new system parts or in newly developed processes – without any risk to the on-going production.

With the right data analysis, you can operate your connected assets and machines both more efficiently and more profitably, while producing at a faster rate with better quality and less energy consumption. In this way, you not only improve your productivity but also your competitiveness on the way to becoming a digital enterprise.
