Get on the fast track to smart manufacturing
For over a decade, people have been talking about the next industrial revolution, but industry leaders don’t feel like it’s happening. The Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) is still in the proof-of-concept phase, data is often trapped in isolated systems, and popular terms like predictive maintenance are more hype than reality.
This is because decision-makers want to modernize, but they can’t ignore the economic realities of their businesses. Many factories have a mix of old and new machines, which can make implementing modern sensor technology difficult. Retrofit solutions often don’t work well and don’t take full advantage of data. Even in new projects, incompatible technology standards can be a barrier to data-driven improvements.
Existing PLC technology providers are sticking to legacy hardware concepts.
If modernization is approached at all, the Cloud is promising to solve it all – however, typical requirements of equipment providers and operators are left out.
Total transparency is threatening the machine builder’s business model.
Six Easy Steps towards your Modern Edge Architecture

Specify System Cycle Time

Setup Control Logic and HMI

Add additional value and converge with IT or Cloud

Connect your I/O

Connect Analytics and Train your AI / ML

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!
