NETCLOUD24 · Business applications
Connect information from devices, production and business applications. We help plan the flow of data between IT, OT and IoT, taking into account the security and continuity of installation operation.
A SCOPE TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
We collect information about devices, protocols and systems that are intended to work together. We determine what measurements or events are needed, who uses them, and how quickly they need to arrive. It is important to indicate the owners on the IT and maintenance side. A common description reduces the risk that the integration will meet application requirements but disrupt the operational process.
The production network should not become an open extension of the office. We design controlled information exchange points and communication rules. We check the possibilities of segmentation, authentication and remote service of devices. We agree the scope of changes with the people responsible for the installation, and we plan the implementation taking into account the permissible work windows.
Some data can be prepared or aggregated locally before being sent to the central application. The edge approach helps reduce the transfer of redundant information and account for connectivity interruptions. We set buffering, time control and behavior after connection loss. The selection of the mechanism results from the process, not from the need to use a specific product.
Simply collecting measurements does not provide a clear picture of the work. We agree on the names of the signals, the units, the quality of the information and the method of its presentation. Integration with ERP, reporting or maintenance systems can reduce manual reports. The tests also cover incorrect and missing data so that users understand the limitations of the indicators prepared.
We start the project with a designated area and checking communication scenarios. After the pilot is approved, we establish further devices and maintenance rules. The documentation describes connections, accounts, and how to undo the configuration. Access to the installation and responsibility for changes remain controlled even after the implementation is completed.
FROM NEED TO SOLUTION
A plant may want to combine machine readings with an order fulfillment report. The pilot example includes one line, agreed signals and a controlled data exchange point. We compare the results with the observation of operators, and only then we plan subsequent stations and connections with the business system.
TRANSPARENT COOPERATION
We collect requirements, dependencies and limitations. We determine the goal and data needed to prepare the scope of work.
We prepare a solution according to the agreed plan. Tests confirm that the scenarios needed by users work.
We document the findings and results of work. We can plan further administration, support and development of the environment.
Before starting work, we will determine the purpose of the project and the most important dependencies. A description of current tools and examples of problems will be helpful. Thanks to this, we can better select the scope of work.
ANSWERS BEFORE STARTING WORK
Capabilities depend on protocols, age and documentation of devices. First, we check the available interfaces and manufacturer and process limitations.
Not every flow has to depend on the cloud. You can schedule local processing and caching if it suits your requirements and device capabilities.
We determine the scope of work and tests together with maintenance. Some changes may require a planned window, and piloting allows you to limit the scope of the first launch.
