Internet of things for condition monitoring and digital factory

Easy to use internet of things industry application

To make a manufacturing site future fit, both, new and existing machines and systems have to be IoT-ready to be part of a digital factory according to the industry 4.0 definition. With Brightlayer Industrial Machinery Eaton offers a remote maintenance toolset within one easy-to-use platform. Data acquisition, visualization and alarming provides all necessary information that helps service organizations taking the right decisions and measures. Via the same GW-hardware safe and secure connections can be established with remote installations to maintain and update local software and setups and to support local operators online.

Including new and existing machines

In the majority of the cases smart factories have an installed base of machines that is continually being supplemented with new machines. However, a digitization and energy management concept can only really be effective if the existing machines are integrated as well, since those are usually the ones with the greatest potential for improvement. Here Brightlayer offers tried-and-tested concepts with smart devices that work in both, new machine designs and retrospective integration in existing machines. From the simple extension with additional sensors to complete energy efficient upgrades.
