Experience how leading companies are using industrial data acquisition technologies as an essential part of their overall IIoT strategy through practical and proven use cases. Be inspired by concrete applications that show how products and standards can be seamlessly integrated in practice and create measurable added value.
Secure and practice-proven connection of data sources
All relevant data can be captured in a practical way in highly networked IIoT projects – via suitable sensors, directly from control systems or other data sources. Our network relies on practice-proven products and solutions from our partners to make efficient use of this data.
Sensor data
Smart acquisition directly from the field: Our partners provide intelligent sensors whose data can be transmitted via IO-Link, LoRaWAN, or Modbus – wired or wireless. Whether it’s temperature, vibration, air quality, or consumption data – our network offers proven products for every application.
Control Data
Standardized and securely connected: Our partners integrate your PLC or IPC across manufacturers and via wired connections. Using protocols such as OPC UA (TCP) or OPC UA over MQTT, data is securely and bidirectionally transferred to real-time systems or cloud databases – with clear structure and context for standardized real-time and cloud systems.
Product Data
Smart objects as a data source: Our partners collect product data directly from your production, logistics, or critical infrastructure – for example, via RFID, digital nameplates, or QR codes. This data provides information such as serial numbers, material batches, or the CO₂ footprint.
Retrofit
Smart upgrades for existing equipment: Our partners enable machines, devices, silos, or systems from the 1980s, 1990s, or earlier to become IIoT-capable – using retrofitted sensors, suitable edge devices, and gateways. This allows standardized capture and reliable transmission of data such as temperature, runtime, or energy consumption.
Worker Data
Digitally capturing movements: Our partners collect data from mobile devices, wearables, or assistance systems such as AR glasses used directly on-site. This creates real-time insights into workflows, interactions, or positions – for greater safety, efficiency, and traceability among frontline workers.
Material Handling Data
Tracking container movements and fill levels: Our partners capture material flow data right at the source – e.g., through sensors on bins, FIFO racks, or C-part containers. Fill levels, withdrawals, and cycles are recorded in real time and made digitally available – enabling automated reordering, transparent inventory processes, and efficient production supply.
