Case study
manufacturing / industrial automation
cloud-connected asset integration
streamline IoT integration and enable real-time analytics, monitoring, and service innovations
Challenges
56k.Cloud is a leading, modern consulting and engineering firm providing turn-key solutions including their Cyber Physical Platform for Manufacturing. For Industrial IoT and Edge Computing, 56k.Cloud needed to extend its digital transformation blueprint to include IoT and Edge Computing hardware. Important was an edge application framework with extensive field protocol support and a proven strong edge security implementation – all to seamlessly work with AWS IoT services.
Solution
The ReliaGATE IoT Gateways and ReliaCOR Edge Servers enable continuous monitoring of machine performance and the implementation of adaptive diagnostic, control and supply strategies. Everyware Cloud (EC) in AWS and industrial-grade IoT gateways with Everyware Software Framework (ESF) and AWS IoT integrations to enable seamless access to AWS services to get data easily into the customer’s / asset owner’s applications & cloud services. 56k.Cloud’s new blueprint for industrial customers journey to a successful digital transformation and cloud migration ensures a fast time to implementation leveraging a strong edge security foundation, supplementing the 56k.Cloud.
Results
Data is made available on the AWS cloud side for analytics, business logic and visualization, increasing situational awareness & operational efficiency.
Fast and efficient remote asset integration and seamlessly integrated applications: fast track to digitalization of industrial assets. On average a 50% reduction of integration time per type of assets because of readily available field buses and digital twin (device shadow) concept.
Risk Mitigation and reduced risk: edge lifecycle management and security designed in. Much reduced time and cost because of pre-certified integrated hardware and software products. (IEC 62443-4-2)
