Everything will be connected within the Factory of the Future. OT and IT are gradually merging with IoT. Efficient data exchange in a secure way through connected devices offers new possibilities. ctrlX IOT as a central part of ctrlX AUTOMATION offers a progressive IoT toolbox with integrated security for data acquisition & preprocessing and data analysis to meet all Industry 4.0 requirements. Using the different ctrlX IOT apps for process monitoring, predictive maintenance or quality controls opens up many benefits. ctrlX IOT aims to make it easier for companies to digitize and optimize their processes in order to improve their efficiency and productivity.

Overview of our comprehensive IoT solutions

  • Connectivity - Data Acquisition & Data preprocessing

  • Data Analysis

  • Industrial Cybersecurity (OT-Security)

Connectivity - Data Acquisition & Data preprocessing

In order to use the advantages of IoT in the Factory of the Future, connectivity is a decisive factor. For all applications, whether process optimization, condition monitoring or even Energy management always requires data to be recorded and partially pre-processed in order to subsequently analyze it. In the ctrlX Store you will find a wide range of connectivity apps, also from third parties, which can be used individually or in combination. The ctrlX CORE offers the possibility to additionally integrate the connectivity apps on the control hardware besides the machine control in greenfield or to retrofit them as edge device in the brownfield. With the various connectivity apps on the ctrlX CORE, data from different devices and sensors can be collected via standardized and manufacturer-specific protocols. Next to data acquisition, data pre-processing is another important function of an IoT gateway solution that can be configured user-specifically. The pre-processing can be, for example, the aggregation, include filtering and adjustment of the data according to defined conditions to enable efficient processing and analysis. The ctrlX Core can be adapted precisely to the customer's application with the various connectivity apps. It enables the collection and processing of data in real time and implementation of local decisions to improve the efficiency and performance of our customers production.

Data Analysis

Our ctrlX IOT toolbox for analysis refers to the monitoring and analysis of data generated by connected devices and sensors. Analyzing this data enables you to extract valuable insights into the performance of devices, the efficiency of processes and helps to optimize your production. IoT analytics can be performed in real-time or on historical data to identify trends and patterns. For example, our IoT toolbox for anaysis can be used in production to monitor machine efficiency, minimize downtime and identify maintenance needs before costly outages occur. Overall, the IoT analysis apps help our customers to optimize their production processes, increase machine availabilty and open up new opportunities for further improvements e.g. energy savings.Ā

Industrial Cybersecurity (OT-Security)

The Industry 4.0 concept brings a wide range of opportunities for companies, such as greater flexibility in the production of customized products. Intelligent production is optimized through networked devices and machines that communicate with each other. Real-time data analysis of the connected factory enables better monitoring of production processes, withproblems being identified quickly, which can be remedied, for example, through remote access.

The increasing connectivity of the digital factory makes companies more vulnerable to attacks by cyber criminals, which is why cyber security is an important aspect to consider. A successful Cyberattacks can have serious consequences for a company, such as financial losses, damage to reputation, as well as the loss of intellectual property. The OT security apps on the ctrlX CORE help to implement cybersecurity measures that can prevent potential threats (ctrlX VPN App), minimize them (ctrlX Firewall App) and detect others. At the same time, our OT security offer ensure that the increasing regulatory requirements are met and applicable regulations are complied with.

Overall, our OT security solutions offer a variety of benefits that can help our customers operate more securely, efficiently and profitably.
