Industry 4.0
starts on-prem.
Industrial IoT, edge computing, real-time data processing –
Trusted by leading manufacturing companies worldwide
The cloud doesn'tfit the smart factory
Real-time requirements, data sovereignty, offline operation – cloud IoT platforms reach their limits in manufacturing environments.
Latency problem
Cloud too slow
100ms to the cloud is an eternity for machine control. Robots need real-time – not eventually.
Production secrets
IP protection
Your manufacturing data is your competitive advantage. It doesn't belong in an external cloud.
Internet outage
Production down
Cloud offline = production offline? You can't afford that. One hour of downtime costs tens of thousands.
From factory to smart factory.
Industrial edge computing brings intelligence directly to the machine – without cloud dependency.
Edge vs. cloud calculator
What does data processing in the factory cost?
Compare cloud costs with local edge infrastructure.
- • Cloud IoT: ~€200/machine/month (connectivity, latency, data volume)
- • Edge: ~€60/machine/month + one-time setup costs
- • No hidden data transfer costs with edge
+ Bonus: Zero latency & offline capability
Smart Factory Platform
Built for manufacturing
Industrial edge computing, OT/IT convergence and IIoT – your complete Industry 4.0 platform.
Edge computing
Edge nodes
Distributed OpenStack
OpenStack right on the shop floor. Data processing where data is generated.
Low latency
<10ms response
Real-time machine control. No delay from cloud round-trips.
Offline-capable
Autonomous operation
Production keeps running without the internet. No dependency on external services.
OT/IT convergence
Protocol bridge
OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus
Connect controllers directly to your cloud. Industrial protocols natively supported.
Network segmentation
VLAN + security groups
Strict separation of OT and IT. Secure communication across zone boundaries.
Central control
Multi-site management
Manage all sites from one platform. Unified configuration, central overview.
Industrial IoT
Sensor database
Time-series storage
Millions of data points per second. Optimized for sensor and machine data.
ML at the edge
AI inference
Predictive maintenance right at the machine. Anomaly detection in real time.
Digital twin
Simulation platform
Virtual copies of your machines. Test changes before going live.
Data sovereignty
On-premise first
100% local
All production data stays in the plant. No cloud dependency for critical processes.
Selective sync
Hybrid cloud
Only aggregated data to the cloud – when you want. Full control over data flows.
Air-gap option
Isolated operation
Fully isolated environments for highest security requirements.
Your Smart Factory roadmap
