IoT Solutions | On 8 October 2015, Baidu announced their IoT platform, BAIDU IoT, at the Baidu World 2015 Public Cloud forum. BAIDU IoT is currently in their beta test phase, with an open invitation to participate in connecting their products to the cloud. | Many areas of our lives have already been changed by the Internet of Things, and industry is no exception. By blending the real and the virtual worlds of production via the internet, the IoT makes it possible to connect all parts of the production process: machines, products, systems, and people. This means that machines and products can communicate so they can manage themselves and each other.
Software-based system and service platforms will play a major role in tomorrow’s manufacturing; they are the only way to bring connectivity, including data analysis, to machines and workpieces in production.
Bosch's software solutions for connected manufacturing and logistics gather, visualize, analyze, and monitor machine, process, and sensor data. They then translate this data into useful information that serves as a source for their rule- and process-based actions. The transparency this creates allows clients to determine precisely where to optimize production and logistics processes along the entire value chain. | | The Internet of Things (IoT) is fueling innovation in products, services and solutions that improve building operations and performance.
For decades, Johnson Controls has been providing the equipment and systems that communicate in real-time to deliver optimized environments. With a portfolio ranging from sensors, equipment and systems through cloud-based data collection and fault detection, they offer an advanced and robust product line.
Johnson Controls smart equipment leverages embedded controls and secured connectivity to reduce the risk of downtime and improve the serviceability while optimizing efficiency and reducing energy costs. | Smart Connected Operations is a future looking vision that describes what the factory or production line of the future will look like. It will involve Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enabled MOM applications integrated with IIoT enabled assets and IIoT enabled business systems. It is an elemental part of creating the Smart Connected Enterprise and is often where companies have breaks in the strands of the digital thread.
In moving towards this vision, both solution providers and manufacturing organizations are going to have to up the game when it comes to investing in IIoT. These investments will include the creation of new organizations that bring together IT, OT, and business leaders, new technologies that enable connectivity, cloud, big data analytics, and the development of new applications, along with the foresight to see that small pilot projects today could transform entire industries tomorrow. | Flagship Solutions: - Horizon 7 - Cloud Foundation - vSphere Platform - vRealize Suite - vCloud Suite - VMware NSX | Digitalisation gives companies increasingly better ways of processing data from all areas of their order and production systems in real time and using it in production to increase both efficiency and flexibility. The enormous rise in the quantity of data and complexity in the networking of plant and company areas makes it necessary to develop products that make the flow of data easy to plan and manage – at production level, but also for the training and development of skilled workers. In parts of production that are intended to be digitally networked, components and network technologies have to be defined that are compatible with the relevant interfaces and result, overall, in a stable IT and production system, in other words that can ensure an actual increase in efficiency. Skilled workers from both areas, namely operating and optimising facilities and developing intelligent components, must be taught to develop a deep understanding of the structure and programming of digital facility networks for this purpose. The CP Factory learning and research platform provides higher education institutes and companies with access to the technology and applications of Industry 4.0. The platform demonstrates the production of tomorrow in a locally controlled intelligent network: Workpieces have their own production history and request their processing procedure from machines, whilst diagnostic, error and service messages are generated and communicated independently by the facility and thus set off other processes. The use of open, configurable systems and communications standards enables plant and automation technology to be seamlessly integrated with the process controls and job management system. Using master computers as a level of exchange between the order management system and the production facility is no longer essential. Double data storage and inconsistent data sets are thus a thing of the past, and in this way costs and time can be saved in the manufacture of customised products. The CP Factory was developed for flexible training in a wide range of technologies and subjects: facility networking, PLC programming, drive technology, sensor technology, safety technology, robotics, assembly, as well as value stream analysis and optimisation. For the research and teaching of Industry 4.0, the facility can be integrated with all open systems and communication standards such as OPC-UA. The learning factory is used worldwide by industrial companies, universities and technical colleges as a learning and research platform for production and automation technology. | TIBCO® Data Science Democratize, collaborate, and operationalize, Machine Learning across your organization TIBCO Spotfire® AI-powered, search-driven experience with built-in data wrangling and advanced analytics TIBCO Cloud™ Integration Empower Everyone to Integrate Anything: Easier and faster API-led integration TIBCO® Data Virtualization Less complexity and cost, faster access to data TIBCO Cloud™ Mashery® The cloud-native API platform you can deploy anywhere, and manage APIs from everywhere TIBCO EBX™ Software A single solution to govern, manage, and consume all shared data assets | |
