What is the name of your product?

Predictive maintenance software: SOMA platform

What problem does your product solve?

Our predictive maintenance solution solves the problem of premature or delayed maintenance and related costs. USP: modular built software solution

What is the product’s main benefit for the customer?

Optimum maintenance time of the machines and thus cost savings for premature maintenance or prevention of production downtimes due to delayed maintenance.

Do you classify your product as a smart component? If so, why would you call your product “intelligent/smart”?

Yes, because our predictive maintenance solution collects real-time data from the sensors and the programmable logic controller (PLC) of the machines, processes it and then provides an insight into the current operating status of the machines (condition monitoring). It thus enables a real-time service life and maintenance forecast. Thanks to the automated procedure, it helps to become especially industry 4.0-capable.

Are there any other important points that you can think of?

Our solution has a modular structure and is arbitrarily scalable, which enables an individual software solution for our customers.
