Industrial Edge | Siemens Xcelerator

What is Siemens Industrial Edge?

Industrial Edge brings IT-like software functions to your industrial machines:

Quickly connect your machines and start collecting data
Perform low-latency, critical analytics at the edge, on-site
Parse data and select what goes to the cloud for deeper analytics and benchmarking

Siemens’ offerings
Our modular offerings include all system components, ranging from devices to connectors to AI-powered analytics. Offerings are scalable and usable for Siemens and non-Siemens machines.

Increase your production efficiency by analyzing processes and getting near real-time feedback on product quality. Use this digital platform to work with industrial-grade data, for on-site machines or for your global production. Flexibly adjust your IT systems with secure, central management.

Securely process data locally or in the cloud

Choose which data gets processed and analyzed at-the-edge and which is securely sent to the cloud. Manage all data from a central management system. Benchmark machines across production lines and plants.

Implement on a running system

Edge devices and apps sit on top of your running system — there’s no downtime for installation or configuration. Never touch a running system.

Maintain machines with central management

Establish a secure connection to pull data and manage updates for apps and devices globally. Move from standard automation to more adaptive manufacturing.

How to implement

Aggregate, contextualize and analyze data with edge devices. Get data to the devices through connectors that translate machine data into a common language. This data can stay at the edge or go to the cloud. Use industrial management tools to manage your devices and applications.

With Industrial Edge we were able to detect cycle time delays in our body shop without touching the PLC and the running production.

Jürgen Jaskolla, Manager Digital Production, Volkswagen

Industrial Edge is scalable and can manage a larger rollout. The existing infrastructure can also be used to implementother applications, such as energy monitoring.

Josef Mand, System Specialist, Pbeg

We met all our goals in this project, both of process quality transparency and interconnections with upper systems.

Roberto Ripa, Plant Manager, Perfetti van Melle

We can now extract data from a closed third-party system, enabling automatic breakdown notifications and providing transparency into real-time and historical machine availability.
