| IoT Solutions | Industry 4.0 is the technological movement that represents the next phase of manufacture industries which results in a full Digitization of productive systems, connecting machines, people and processes.
One of the main goals of Prodsmart is to catalyze Industry 4.0 through the mass adoption of the systems that allow all this movement to happen.
We speak directly to the people within the organisation and we empower them. We provide them the ability to make quick decisions, short and autonomous software-implementation processes, with a quote and service level adjusted to their needs and level of usage. But Prodsmart’s relationship with people doesn’t stop here: we are a layer of virtual automation which transforms any production line into a smart digital factory, bringing the people, the processes and the machines together, converting the operators into knowledge workers and aiding the managers to take informed decisions.
We feel that the concept of Industry 4.0 is deeply broken by leaving the people behind. It is too focused on machines and data and less focused on information, processes and people.
However, the majority of the manufacturing landscape is comprised of very small businesses, which do not have access to the level of sophistication that’s being discussed. The role of the people is extremely important in manufacturing SMEs.
We do believe that in a world that is becoming more and more digital the most important element in technology is the people and this is reflected in the way we approach and engage with our current and future users. | Data acquisition devices for IoT & Big Data applications form the backbone of our products. Energy management is an especial core competence, for which we have advanced solutions.
ionSign is platform agnostic, our products communicate to your bespoke data system, or the commercial cloud of your choice - MS Azure, AWS, Bluemix, or our own ionSign Cloud. | | Dynamic Risk Analyzer™ (DRA) has been proven to improve safety, reliability, and on-stream efficiency in industrial plant operations. It delivers actionable, early indicators of process issues – typically days and weeks before the alarms go off. What makes it unique is our distinctive, patented approach of identifying hidden near-misses™ in the process data. This enables the operating teams to avert problems just when they are beginning to form, to plan Predictive Maintenance, and to achieve ultimate safety and bottom line.
Reduces Unexpected Shutdowns and Process Failures - DRA is designed to uncover hidden problems, so you can stay focused on finding solutions, not hunting for problems.
Increases On-Stream Efficiency and Capacity Utilization - DRA provides peripheral vision on issues developing on the sidelines, enabling you to address new risks and their drivers.
Improves Process Safety and Reliability - What makes DRA unique is its ability to rip through the entire spectrum of process data, uncovering problems, long before humans or alarms can. | Decision Automation for Industrial IoT - including:

Spyglass Connected Medical Device | Supercharge your workforce with Skylight Deliver higher productivity, higher quality, and reduced costs with wearable computing and Augmented Reality solutions. Easily and quickly deliver customized enterprise apps for smart glasses, smart phones, tablets, and Augmented Reality devices. Skylight abstracts the tedious plumbing and infrastructure required for app development, integration, deployment, and management. Workers interact with a simple, intuitive software interface available directly in their line-of-sight via smart glasses, smartphones, tablets or Microsoft HoloLens. | Large industrial infrastructure such as mining sites, factories, power plants and oil & gas fields will need to adjust to a new world order of increasing operating cost and a variable commodity price, this will drive the need to make significant improvements in productivity and efficiency within a tightening capital budget.
These industries produce tens of billions of sensor data points from their existing equipment, systems and processes. IntelliSense.io believes an enormous amount of productivity and efficiency improvements can be unlocked from this data by optimising the configuration of existing equipment and control systems enabled by our modern Data Science software, online simulation software and real-time wireless sensor networking knowledge, that generates data insights with minimum disruption to existing operations. | The proposed MES architecture is based on the Internet of Things (IoT), completely linking all resources and the manufacturing companies' security needs. Consequently, shop floor and IT clouds should be separated. In order for the machine level to reap benefits from cloud technologies, a specific modification known as the edge cloud or fog, was employed. The central instance, the Edge Gateway, connects the edge cloud with the IT cloud. Therefore, shop floor components can communicate with each other in real time and the IT cloud can retrieve and manage the data.
IT support in production plays a key role for Integrated Industry (Industry 4.0). In order to cover future production processes new standards and functions are required, which will especially affect MES applications. MPDV introduces a concept for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of the future MES 4.0. |
