Edge Computing

Edge Computing

One step further towards the digital factory
“smart machines and processes”

OEE, SPC, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, etc.

Smart Processes
& Machines

Our digitalisation solution represents a significant advance by incorporating data processing into automation devices at machine level.

This unique strategy provides the distinctive intelligence of Edge Computing, enabling sophisticated analytics safely at the manufacturing level itself. Key features:

  • Advanced Edge Computing: we make the most of processing power
  • Comprehensive Digitalisation: by enabling processing and analysis directly at the source
  • Sophisticated & Secure Analytics: pattern identification, failure prediction and process optimisation, all safely and in real time
  • Production Optimisation: through advanced analytics directly at manufacturing level
Smart processes and machines

Our Edge Computing solution represents a significant evolution in industrial digitalisation, setting the pace for the next era of smart manufacturing.

APPS
on machines

Offers the opportunity to run a wide range of applications: descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics. Cloud connectivity is used alongside Siemens Edge applications, third-party providers or users' own applications in an integrated hardware and software ecosystem for automation components. Users and machine manufacturers also have the opportunity to develop their own applications, tailored to the individual requirements of their machines.

Reduced data
transfer costs

Furthermore, storage and transmission costs are reduced for users because large volumes of data are processed, and only relevant data is transmitted to a cloud or IT infrastructure. Industrial Edge supports cloud transmission protocols as well as MQTT. This makes data transmission secure and effective.

Centralised device
and APP management

Edge devices and applications can be managed centrally. Furthermore, Edge applications are always distributed to Industrial Edge devices efficiently and securely in the latest version. Applications can be installed on Edge devices regardless of the machine's operating state without adverse effects.
