Realisation
- The ZentNode adapters were connected directly to the machines to collect signals such as cycle times, parts produced and energy consumption.
- Data is stored locally on the ZentEdge server and made available in an SQL database for import into AI systems.
- The solution enables continuous data collection with minimal network and infrastructure changes.
Added value
- ML optimisation: Provision of reliable, structured data for machine learning.
- Cost savings: No additional hardware or software licences required.
- Simplicity: Direct access to production data without IT programming effort.
- Security: All communication is TLS-encrypted.
Additional application options
- Predictive maintenance: data provision for AI-supported predictions of maintenance requirements.
- Quality assurance: Use of production data for AI models for error detection and process optimisation.
- Warehouse management: Analysis of cycle times and production data to optimise material flows.
