Industrial Connectivity for Manufacturers

Measure the impact of industrial connectivity for manufacturers

Plant and factory floors are a jungle of siloed machines and equipment. This myriad of functions, protocols, and data formats can make true factory connectivity seem impractical, if not impossible. This is where we come in.

Simplify the collaboration between IT and OT systems and allow disparate systems and machinery to speak to each other in the same language. A standardized industrial connectivity layer tears down these silos to deliver leaps in efficiency. Our IIoT solutions have helped our manufacturing customers to achieve:

Up to

30%

INCREASE IN FACTORY OUTPUT

Up to

50%

Improvement in OEE

Up to

70%

Faster changeover time

Up to

50%

Less unplanned downtime

Make all your factory data work for you

Most shop floors and machine builders use some level of ad-hoc, custom industrial connectivity, but future-proofing your factory requires more. With the right foundational technology in your plants across all systems, protocols, and machines, industrial connectivity can break down data silos, connect legacy equipment, improve manufacturing KPIs through asset performance analysis, and empower your teams with role-based, real-time data to prevent downtime and boost efficiency. PTC’s proven approach to standardized connectivity simplifies the process with advanced, critical capabilities.

Rapid implementation

Rapid implementation

Keep projects on time, prevent overages, reduce the risk of adoption in your organization, and leverage brownfield equipment to prevent rip and replace by leveraging the breadth of connectivity in the factory. Data collection can quickly and easily be spun up in a new site or line, enabling frictionless deployment of new projects.

Standardized data access

Standardized data access

IIoT applications are repeatable and scalable within and across multiple facilities. Critical production data is available to any engineer or data scientist interested in deploying an IIoT or Industry 4.0 application, in a standardized format.

Reliable security

Reliable security

Be confident in best practices and an overall improvement to operations network security, while integrating and leveraging existing IT security tools. Standard IT and security tools can be applied to the data collection infrastructure, which adheres to information security best practices.

Reduce implementation risks

Reduce implementation risks

Standardized connectivity streamlines and accelerates implementation, while including previously siloed legacy and brownfield equipment.
