German Hochschule Pforzheim presents the basics for the development of an AI based system for preventive anomaly detection.
From 1 to 5 April, more than 6500 exhibitors from 75 countries will present their ideas, innovations and products at the Hannover Messe 2019.
According to studies and surveys, although IT security on the Internet of Things is highly valued by most companies, many of them are still reluctant to invest in it. The ever-increasing number of cyber attacks proves the need for action. […]
New study on the development of industrial IoT (Industry 4.0) in Europe and the USA. Europe ahead – Market value of 200 billion forecast by 2021.
Stiebel Eltron is one of the German pioneers of the IoT. Thanks to the consistent industry 4.0 upgrade, their production costs fell by 40 percent.
Imagine an industrial environment: a large production hall, where complex machines work around the clock, interact with each other, depend on each other. Now, imagine an IIoT ecosystem whose task it is to monitor every single detail within the production process: positions, speed, temperature, pressure, energy consumption, filling levels – all the metrics that play a crucial role for an efficient process. To reduce idling, prevent failure or simply save resources, hundreds, if not thousands of sensors are needed. The more the better. But with only a centralized intelligence, Industrial IoT (IIoT) could quickly become a bumpy ride.
Energy efficiency and optimal production processes are key success factors especially for small and medium-sized companies. However, unlike IT-systems, industrial machines cannot be exchanged every few years to keep up with state of the art production. At many companies, these machines are often decades old. 20 or 30 year equipment is not uncommon. So how can they keep up with today’s need for increased efficiency? What can companies do, to identify and eradicate problems, thus making the output more efficient? “Retrofitting” is the term summing up the answer. Equipping old machines with new sensors. However, that’s easier said than done.
The focus of this year’s Hannover Messe was on Industrial Internet of Things services and products. With over 6,500 exhibitors and more than 225,000 visitors it is the world’s largest industry fair. And with IoT being a main topic, our appearance was obligatory. Lemonbeat’s technology offers a flexible framework to quickly enable the “IoT-zation” of all kind of things: from sensors and actuators to products and machines for consumer and professional needs. Already in use in the field of Smart Home, Smart Building, Smart Energy and Smart Garden systems, Lemonbeat’s range of use is vast.
