Challenge
Each machine influences the overall performance of your production line or factory. If you can't precisely monitor your individual machines and make data-driven decisions, productivity and revenue are lost.

Solution
This starter shop floor connectivity bundle ensures you get connected quickly with standard edge system components that pull data into a central, managed environment. You can then start analyzing the data with the Performance Insights application that enables you to visualize machine health and calculate KPIs.

Improve productivity with intelligence on the edge

To jumpstart your journey to adaptive operations, you need to connect your old, new, Siemens and non-Siemens machines. This gives you transparency into machine health and status as you collect and analyze your data for insights-driven decisions.

Get started with a solution that empowers you to:

4. Achieve IT/OT integration

Manage OT like IT assets for closed-loop integration

With IT on top of your machines, you can manage your operations with ease. Achieve end-to-end data integration and drive a process of continuous optimization for quality, productivity, resource use, sustainability and cost.

Compliant with OT requirements

Edge devices and software sit above your automation hardware and code. Install and control without interrupting operations. Easily develop and deploy apps at scale. Execute logic and perform analytics in real time.

Open and interoperable

Whether your machines are old, new, Siemens or non-Siemens — our integrated solutions are designed to get you connected quickly. Centrally manage all operations, visualize machines, and orchestrate and push out commands.

Cybersecure by design

From concept to deployment, our solutions are built with cybersecurity as a foundation. We adhere to the latest industry standards, such as ISO 27001 and IEC 62443, and continuously test for vulnerabilities.
