Instead of analogue raw values, Perinet Smart Components provide information, i.e. physical quantities in the respective units of measurement. As a digital signal, these are forwarded via Ethernet and can be directly processed by virtually any data hub, whether locally or in the cloud. Embedded analysis and configuration functions allow signal pre-processing and generate smart data. In parallel, signal pre-compression enables the optimization of the data volume and, thus, the avoidance of cost-intensive data lakes.
Integration on the data, process and system level ensures holistic process digitalization through intelligent collective action, i.e. sensors and actuators can be combined into a virtual device by the application software at operational level and controlled in unison.
