Smart Services in Manufacturing in the Automotive Industry

Your challenges and our solutions

Cloud-based Controls in Campus Networks

Diversity of variants as a challenge for digitalization

In manufacturing, production systems are networked using modern protocols and frameworks, such as OPC UA, BaSys 4.0, ROS.

Our Solution

  • Wireless networking with 5G, among others
  • Transformation of local control functions into the cloud
  • Agile project planning and programming from the cloud

 

Your Benefits

  • Optimized process reliability in manufacturing processes
  • Increased efficiency through shorter process times during machining
  • Increased component quality

Industrial IoT Architectures and Data Pipelines

Bringing data together

Develop cyber-physical systems and integrate them into a modular IoT environment. Different protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, etc.) can be considered.

Our Solution

  • Design of data pipelines for analyses
  • Creation of virtual representations of components (digital twins) using management shells
  • Combining heterogeneous data sources 

 

Your Benefits

  • Basis for the development of data-driven business models
  • Access to data is standardized.
  • Preparation for usage-dependent analysis of data

IoT-based Services for Production

Validate automation solutions early on

Increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes using AI models. Optimize production with data analytics for process and sensor data. 

Our Solution

  • Capture data about processes
  • Analyze existing processes
  • Evaluate process and sensor data using algorithms

 

Your Benefits

  • Optimized process reliability in manufacturing processes
  • Increased efficiency through shorter process times during machining
  • Increased component quality

Context-sensitive Assistance

Digital assistance for workers

Data is processed in real time and provided context-based via IoT-enabled products and machines.

Our Solution

  • Development specific applications for assistance systems
  • Integrate machine functions via OPC UA
  • Interactive process model with instructions for operators and digital process protocol facilitates implementation.

Your Benefits

  • Less effort in creating instructions and documentation
  • Shortened setup times
  • Thanks to special training videos, operation by low-skilled personnel possible

Wearable Robotics: Smart Thanks to Sensors, Actuators and AI

Avoiding work absences

The Wearable Soft Robotics technology improves ergonomics, reducing musculoskeletal disorders and work absences. Improved ergonomics make work more efficient and prevent physical discomfort.

Our Solution

  • Consulting and workplace-specific ergonomics analyses and studies
  • Consulting on exoskeletons, exosuits and ergonomics support systems
  • Joint further development of exoskeletons and exosuits

 

Your Benefits

  • Improved ergonomics at the workplace
  • Diseases of the musculoskeletal system are avoided.
  • Workers can perform their jobs longer.
