Selected Use Cases
01IoT for Predictive Maintenance
Transition from manual, monthly data collection to a daily, remote monitoring system by deploying wireless sensors and integrating data acquisition hardware with centralized software platforms. Result: improved asset health visibility, reduced unplanned outages, and optimized maintenance schedules.
02Standardized Functional Test
Address increasing product complexity and stringent development schedules. By utilizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and modular software components, you can reduce development resources per project by 80% and improved test cycle time by a factor of 10, reducing total operating expenses and accelerating time to market.
03Developing the Factory of the Future
Smart tools that utilize vision algorithms to interpret their surroundings, automatically adjust operational parameters, and log task outcomes to a central manufacturing execution system (MES). Leveraging a modular platform with real-time operating systems and FPGA capabilities reduces time to deployment by up to 90%.
04Smart Machine Control for Industrial Machinery
Advanced control systems to meet demands for higher productivity and reduced design times with modular hardware platforms and graphical programming environments. These systems support real-time data acquisition, precise control algorithms, and seamless connectivity to cloud-based Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms.
