ii40_Connect Architecture

ii40_Connect solution has 3 main pillars that cover the complete data value-chain from the machine to the users.

process

ii40_GATEWAY

 

gateway

A smart IoT device collects machine data directly from the PLC and field sensors.

The data is processed locally by an Edge-Supevision-Agent, and transmitted encrypted and secured to the ii40_Connect servers.

ii40_CLOUD

 

cloud

With the machine data, ii40_Connect servers build a real-time digital image of the machine (Digital Twin).

Machine data is analyzed with big-data and machine learning techniques to track the operation and health condition of the equipment, including predictions over future behavior.

ii40_SERVICEAPP

ii40_SERVICEAPP

serviceapp

 

A visual intuitive application provides access to realtime information on equipment’s operations and health, allows early identification of machine issues and enables tracking of process KPIs.

In a Servitization control panel. different digital assistance functionalities are offered, like remote diagnosis, the management of machine incident tickets, or predictive maintenance solutions.

mantenimiento web

Connection to ERP/MES via API

Connection and information exchange with factory ERP/MES systems using a customizable API.

Predictive Model

Predictive Models

Integration of machine-specific predictive models running on real time machine data, executed locally at the edge or remotely at the ii40_Connect servers

ii40_Connect for Servitization

ii40_Connect constitutes a platform for the deployment of Servitization strategies by OEMs, offering detailed real time information on equipment’s operation, allowing the identification of after-sale service opportunities and their delivery.

The technology solutions incorporated into ii40_Connect support a portfolio of service offerings that can be marketed by OEMs.

Dashboard

Remote Supervision and Optimization

Supports end customer improving the machine utilization and efficiency.

Real time supervision allows the identification of optimization opportunities, from a work planning perspective, maintenance or even promoting retrofits or equipment upgrades.

Wrench

Service Need Management

Integrated service and tool to manage efficiently all service needs by end user.

The Ticketing service automatically provides the service team with the required information to carry out remote diagnosis and manage machine events, and channel the marketing of spare parts and services.

Paper

Smart Contracts

Smart Contracts supported by blockchain technology fro automated delivery of aftersales services to end customer.

Linked to instantaneous machine data, it allows automatic execution of a previously contracted service to, for example, deliver the critical spare part when a predictive alarm is triggered, offering an immediate response and prevent downtime.

time

Predictive Maintenance

Anticipate equipment downtime through early identification of abnormal behavior, and prediction of failure, to plan service activities on the equipment that minimize the impact.

The predictive models use real time machine data as inputs to assess its condition and obtain alerts and service recommendations to maximize availability.

innovate

Performance-Based Contracts

Leveraging the knowledge collected on the equipment operation, its service needs and the predictive capabilities, it enables new business models with a more intense involvement in the operation and maintenance of the equipment.

It offers the possibility to establish Service Level Agreements (SLA) with incremental revenue based on the fulfillment of guarantees, with ultimate validation happening thanks to blockchain technology.

Paper

Lifecycle Management

Offers a continued support to the end customer during the complete lifecycle of the equipment, from its commissioning and warranty period, its operation period, retrofis/overhauls, to its remarketing and end of life. 

The equipment supervision and the predictive capabilities enable the delivery to the end user of the specific servicies needed in each phase of its lifecycle to maximize the value obtained from the equipment.
