The right integration strategy for your digitization process
To make the Smart Factory a reality – MJR ensures an efficient Communication between existing hardware and software systems
Industry 4.0 is in full swing and has set many disruptive processes in motion. New technologies offer enormous opportunities for success, especially for medium-sized companies. Those who want to make extensive use of these opportunities need a strategy for making the countless data generated during the digitization process transparent, networking it and integrating it into existing hardware and software systems. The comprehensive integration of all data, such as company data, process data or even sensor data, is the basic prerequisite for a functioning Industry 4.0 and thus the key to success.
Reality versus vision: The IT infrastructure must be right
The goal of the entire digitization process is the intelligent company or smart factory with efficient production processes and an optimal value chain. However, this vision often seems to be a distant vision and the status quo looks quite different for most companies. Everyday life involves complex system landscapes and modules that cannot communicate with each other. In addition, there are direct interfaces between the individual modules, which lead to unclear network and cross-connections. The consequence of this chaos? Existing systems become unstable and inconsistent, and important information is not used or is lost. A uniform database and transparent processes with real-time data access are missing.
Would you also like to clear up your chaos? In our demo factory we visualize your individual request and create a customized solution in a free workshop.
System integration as a way out of chaos
The solution comes from MJR in the form of so-called middleware, an integration platform through which neutral data exchange takes place. Here, unstructured data from the connected software (company data, process data) and hardware (measured values, sensor data) are collected and evaluated, from which you as a user benefit enormously.
Thus, an integration platform paves the way to an intelligent company:
- more flexibility and transparency through central and efficient data exchange
- new knowledge and insights through access to and analysis of mass data (Big Data)
- Better control, lower susceptibility to errors, lower failure rate through predictive maintenance
- New business models, e.g. pay-per-use scenarios
„We get all your systems to speak the same language.“
