When companies talk about digitalization today, they primarily mean one thing: measurable value in operations. It is not about abstract platforms or grand IT visions, but about very practical questions from everyday work. How can we make assembly processes more efficient? How do we keep track of critical assets? How can we improve our customer service?
Instead of launching custom software projects, companies rely on proven and configurable solutions delivered through app stores or as components of open IoT platforms. The focus is not on features, but on clearly defined use cases with operational impact.
Whether as a cloud service, an edge app or a mobile application, Use Case Apps enable digitalization where it is needed, close to the process.
Error free processes and stable production with digital inspection apps and automated documentation.

Use Case Apps are always purpose-driven, they solve a concrete problem in everyday industrial operations. Whether in production, service or logistics, many scenarios already offer ready to use applications that can be combined in a modular way and integrated flexibly.
Here we show examples of how such apps are used in different areas, together with solutions from our partner network.
Use case apps deliver real value when they are not complicated to procure or integrate but are available exactly where they are needed, on machines, at the line or in the cloud. To achieve this, more and more providers rely on their own app stores and platform solutions that make industrial applications available, manageable and extendable.
The principle is simple. Companies access a modular app catalog, choose the right application for their specific use case and often configure, deploy and scale it directly without a custom development project.
Central platform for digital service processes, including app modules for maintenance, tickets, spare parts service and condition monitoring.
Open ecosystem with third party apps including dashboards, remote access, alerting systems and energy monitoring.
Low-code-based environment with ready-made app kits for worker guidance, warehouse processes, quality data collection, and production control.
The edge operating system with an integrated app store enables direct deployment and management of applications on decentralized devices.
Marketplace for energy, control and service apps, for example Power Control for consumption optimization with data visualization.
Our partners demonstrate how use case apps solve real challenges, from quality assurance to energy optimization.
Modular IoT applications are no longer a vision of the future. Companies in our network already rely on ready to use apps that make processes more efficient, more transparent and scalable. Whether in production, logistics or service, these solutions create real value for everyday industrial operations.
This solution example focuses on analyzing and optimizing blown film production at Storopack using the ENLYZE Shop Floor BI app. The application provides real time data on more than 7,000 parameters and enables effective OEE management and fast error analysis in shift operations.
The WEINIG App Suite was further developed using the low-code platform Simplifier. The goal was to provide service, monitoring and production functions in a flexible and modular way while maintaining the ability to develop new functions independently of one another.
This solution example presents a locally installed maintenance app from PIA Automation that digitizes maintenance tasks, documents them, and makes them easier to plan efficiently. Developed with Digital Enabler, it enables a proactive service approach even for heterogeneous machine fleets.
Smart meters promote the digitalization of the energy grid and the energy transition, but at the same time they are potential vulnerabilities for cyber attacks. The IT Security Act therefore requires real-time attack detection, automatic assessment of attacks and reporting of anomalies.
Five advantages of modular IoT applications for industry. Use Case Apps are not generic tools but precise building blocks for specific operational challenges. They connect data, processes and user interfaces in a way that delivers immediate, tangible value. All of this works without long project timelines.
Ready to use app modules can be put into operation immediately without deep IT integration.
Each app is tailored to a clearly defined use case with a focus on efficiency, safety or quality.
Applications can be expanded step by step depending on needs, budget and process maturity.
Clear dashboards, mobile usage and intuitive operation increase acceptance on the shopfloor.
Many apps are compatible with existing machines and equipment from different manufacturers.
Many IIoT projects fail not because of the idea, but because of the implementation: a lack of scalability, high operating costs and unclear requirements lead to expensive rework and a failed business case.

Data acquisition forms the solid foundation of your IoT application. Whether machine, operating or sensor data - accurate and reliable data acquisition enables precise analyses and data-based decisions. Modern solutions capture data directly at the machine, standardized and in real time.
Reliable data transmission is essential for every IoT process. Choose between wired (e.g. Ethernet) and wireless technologies (e.g. 5G, LoRaWAN) based on your requirements in order to optimally combine stability and flexibility.
The efficient preparation and pre-processing of your raw data ensures that it can be used immediately. Whether edge computing or local pre-processing - reduce the amount of data and significantly improve the performance of your IoT systems.
Data standardization creates the basis for efficient, cross-manufacturer communication and consistent use of data throughout the entire life cycle. Whether through protocols such as OPC UA over MQTT for secure transmission or standardized product data and digital twins - your IIoT projects remain flexible, scalable and economical.
The convergence of production technology (OT) and information technology (IT) enables you to achieve a transparent data flow without media disruptions. This allows you to eliminate data silos, speed up decision-making and optimize your operational processes in the long term.
IoT platforms form the central nervous system of your digital infrastructure. As PaaS or SaaS solutions - for example in the form of customer portals for manufacturers - they store, visualize and manage IoT data. As a result, you always have a comprehensive overview of your processes and can make well-founded, data-based decisions.
Protecting sensitive industrial and process data is a top priority. Modern security concepts ensure that your data is transmitted and stored in encrypted form and that your systems always comply with current regulatory requirements.
Efficient management of networked IoT devices is a key component of successful digitalization strategies. From commissioning and updates to decommissioning - structured device management reduces operating costs and significantly increases the security of your IoT infrastructure.
Visualized data enables faster and more precise decisions in your company. Modern dashboards and graphical presentations transform complex data streams into clear, real-time displays and create transparency at all levels of the company.
The systematic analysis of your IoT data uncovers hidden correlations and identifies optimization potential in your processes. From descriptive statistics to complex analysis procedures - gain valuable insights from your operational data for well-founded business decisions.
Data analysis is the basis for data-driven IIoT applications - from process optimization to AI-supported predictions. While traditional evaluations work with fixed rules, AI algorithms independently recognize patterns and anomalies - for predictive maintenance or quality forecasts, for example. Both approaches complement each other and optimize the potential of your IoT data.
Industry-specific IoT applications address concrete challenges with preconfigured functionalities. From production optimization to asset tracking — these specialized solutions offer rapid time-to-value and can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements.
