Get on the fast track to smart manufacturing
For more than a decade, the world has been talking about the next industrial revolution – but industry representatives feel anything but revolutionary: Industrial IoT does not get beyond the PoC phase, your data is still slumbering in silos, topics like predictive maintenance remain mostly buzzwords without concrete implementation.
The reasons for this are understandable: Decision-makers want modernization, but you can’t ask them to throw their economic sense overboard. On existing shopfloors, there are often numerous generations of machines in operation at the same time.
Machines lack state-of-the-art sensor technology, retrofit solutions are often unsatisfactory and neglect the data component. Even in greenfield projects, missing APIs and incompatible protocols continue to hamper the smart use of data.
No matter if you use local servers, your PC, a Raspberry Pi or the cloud: XENTARA follows your data streams and your infrastructure. There´s no need for additional expensive hardware.
XENTARA integrates all common protocols, fieldbuses and PLCs. This makes industrial automation brownfield-compatible and avoids expensive retrofitting investments.
XENTARA can be enhanced in every imaginable direction through skills and add-ons from our skill store – for example, by adding new protocols or machine learning scenarios.
Six Easy Steps towards your Modern Edge Architecture
Start your Xentara project and specify system cycle time in µs
Xentara will maintain real-time

Connect your I/O
(local, remote, via field bus)

Build or Import your Control Logic
and Design your HMI

Connect Analytics & Train your AI / ML

Add additional value and converge with IT or Cloud

Ship your system on any hardware
and software platform

Pick your entry point!
There is no single path to smart production. Depending on their individual requirements or production environment, manufacurers seek different approaches and use cases to use their data. XENTARA lays the foundation for realizing scenarios that generate a particularly high benefit and contribute to the big picture – the transformation of your industry.

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the a way of measuring manufacturing productivity, often described as the gold standard for productivity improvement. It is expressed most simply as a percentage showing how much of the time spent on production actually results in good products. So a factory that works with no interruptions, at fastest speed, and does not produce faulty products, has an OEE rating of 100%:
100% Quality (no bad parts produced)
100% Availability (no interruptions or downtime)
100% Performance (all processes running at the highest speed possible)
By monitoring your production data through Xentara, you can easily set up OEE calculations and see your OEE score in realtime!
