The new IoT gateway SIMATIC IOT2050 offers a simple and cost-effective way for any production plant to not miss the connection to the new digital world.
Together with the planned Edge functionality, the user can easily integrate SIMATIC IOT2050 into Siemens Industrial Edge solutions, and, thanks to the pre-installed SIMATIC Industrial OS operating system in the advanced version, the time required for commissioning is also reduced.
A typical application scenario of the SIMATIC IOT2050 is the preventive maintenance of machines and the coupling of production to the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) level in order to minimize costly downtimes of production plants. To this end, relevant indicators are evaluated and thus impending signs of wear are detected at an early stage.
In this way, the new IoT Gateway helps to make production more flexible, reliable and efficient. SIMATIC IOT2050 acquires, processes and stores the relevant data. These are transferred to a cloud-based analysis tool and the evaluated data is then returned from the cloud to the production maintenance system. This continuous data exchange closes the control loop for optimizing the maintenance intervals in a production plant.
