What are IIoT platforms?

An IIoT platform forms the technical foundation of the Industrial Internet of Things by connecting physical and virtual objects. It thus lays the groundwork for a wide range of applications and opens up numerous further opportunities for companies:

  • Linking, monitoring, and analyzing data from heterogeneous sources (machines, sensors, ERP systems).
  • Central control of the machine park and real-time evaluation of all production data.
  • Replacement of manual, paper-based processes with end-to-end digital networking of departments.
  • Provision of technical infrastructure as the basis for predictive maintenance and semi-autonomous operation.
Robotic arms in a factory optimize processes using an IIoT platform.

How do IIoT platforms work?

A powerful IIoT platform is based on the interaction of four central levels that ensure data transport from the device to the application:

Devices level

Connection of physical assets: From modern IoT-enabled machines to external sensors and existing legacy hardware.

Platform infrastructure

Foundation for operation: container orchestration via Kubernetes and central services for monitoring, logging, and CI/CD pipelines.

Connectivity and data

Secure networking via protocols such as MQTT, as well as high-performance streaming and processing of large amounts of data via Apache Kafka.

Application level

Implementation of business apps for machine control, analysis, and visualization for your specific production use cases.

IIoT platform: Your lever for Industry 4.0

Don't let the competition pass you by. Take advantage of our experience from numerous industrial projects to make your production more efficient, transparent, and future-proof. We analyze your status quo and find the best technical and economic entry point for your infrastructure.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about an IIoT platform

  • How do I choose the right IIoT platform for my company?

    Choosing the right IIoT platform depends on various factors, such as the specific requirements of your company, the existing IT infrastructure and the desired functionalities. A thorough needs analysis and comparison of the various providers and platforms are essential.

  • What role does edge computing play in an IIoT platform?

    Edge computing enables data to be processed directly on the machines or in the immediate vicinity instead of sending it to the cloud first. This reduces latency times, improves responsiveness and enables real-time analysis, which is particularly beneficial in time-critical production processes.

  • Can an IIoT platform be integrated into existing ERP and MES systems?

    Yes, most IIoT platforms offer interfaces that enable integration into existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) systems. This ensures a seamless flow of information and improves the overall efficiency of production processes.
