Phoenix Contact
With this company’s cloud-based solutions, status information on standard and safety functions are transmitted continuously via a Profinet control solution to the Proficloud (photo). This information is then evaluated there. Thanks to the holistic consideration of resources and machinery, completely new opportunities are opened up for operators and designers to increase operational performance. This enables, for example, the determination of interdependencies between safety and process parameters. Or the monitoring of operational and maintenance processes across the entire line during normal operation. With access to this information, measures can then be derived and operational patterns determined. The machinery design can thus be optimized and work sequences designed to be more efficient. — Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co.KG, Blomberg, Germany
