Smaller businesses in particular are finding themselves increasingly under pressure to digitalize their operations , if they are to keep pace with changing production standards and remain competitive. Retrofit strategies for networking and data analysis, while maintaining existing systems, are therefore a great option here. The automation architects from Baumüller have developed a solution specifically for this purpose.

BAUDIS IoT enables the continuous recording, archiving, and analysis of machine data , whereby industrial companies can use either an existing cloud environment or an external service provider’s infrastructure. The predictive maintenance solution from Baumüller is manufacturer-independent and can be used in combination with any machines. The adaptive, algorithm-based analysis functions can optimize processes or analyze predictive maintenance data, to spare production facilities unexpected failures and downtimes. Due to its open approach, BAUDIS IoT is also suitable for retrofitting and upgrading existing industrial machine environments.

As an add-on, the manufacture also offers Ubiquity , an IEC-62443-3-3-certified, highly secure remote maintenance solution. The associated runtime environment is already preinstalled on Baumüller operating panels, which means that no additional hardware needs to be purchased. Customers can access further consultation, remote maintenance, and diagnostics services from Baumüller subsidiaries Baumüller Reparaturwerk and Baumüller Anlagen-Systemtechnik. Nuremberg-based Baumüller will also be showcasing its smart automation and smart services portfolio at the Hannover Messe , in Hall 14, Stand H12 .
