Where Is Your Edge? Gain Access to Real-Time Plant Data for Improved Analytics
Renesas Electronics America
Typical Industrial IoT systems use IT-based gateways to aggregate and send data to cloud platforms for monitoring and analytics. But this approach loses the granularity of information that is within the real-time OT networks such as EtherCAT, Profinet, Ethernet/IP or even OPC UA, that carries high fidelity, more deterministic data. Understanding the domain differences and how to bridge this gap will be key to a successful IIoT implementation. This talk will explore those challenges and the concept of a real-time IoT gateway that can bridge these OT and IT domains much more seamlessly and help to enable better analytics of the plant.

Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT – Connecting the Unconnectable
Ricardo Buranello, VP IoT Factory Solutions, Telit
With Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT now a reality, companies are investing billions in hopes of generating a positive ROI but are challenged with connectivity issues within their plants and between older machines. There are 40 plants across four continents that have 1,000 CNC machines distributed from various vendors. These machines, some of which are 30 years old, can benefit from preventative maintenance even more than the newer industrial equipment. However, several of the challenges range from how to connect older machines and how to manage the different brands and protocols with each machine. Companies must also address the need to automate data collecting and the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) calculations per machine, per shift, per operator and per plant. Connecting PLCs and devices on the plant floor has been an ongoing issue for the Industrial Internet of Things. Enterprises deal with a host of hang-ups caused by custom coding and additional coding for syncing plant floor data and top floor data.
This session will share real-world experiences and explore the benefits of visual log engines implemented on factory floors to accelerate the launch IoT projects in days rather than weeks or months. It will cover the use of advanced software technology and out of the box instrumentation to illustrate how to rapidly provide a connectivity solution that increases productivity and productivity traceability.
