In the dynamic landscape of industrial operations, optimizing efficiency and reducing costs are paramount goals. Let’s delve into two compelling use cases where Smart Services have proven to be transformative.

Streamlined Production Monitoring: Proficloud.io’s Device Management Service Revolutionizes Equipment Oversight

Imagine one Company, a medium-sized cargo bicycle manufacturer with production spread across multiple locations. Their challenge was a lack of a comprehensive overview at the company level, leading to disruptions and prolonged downtimes when machines broke down. The solution? Utilizing the Device Management Service, a key component of our Proficloud.io IIoT platform. This service provides standardized, real-time information about all controllers, enabling dynamic equipment health status retrieval from any location. The result? Production managers no longer need on-site routine checks; a quick glance at the Proficloud.io dashboard provides a color-coded, easy-to-understand overview of every hardware status.

Smart Energy Management: Phoenix Contact’s Proficloud.io Revolutionizes Utility Oversight

Now shift gears to the example of another Company, one of the world’s largest spice manufacturers, striving for a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions. Their challenge involved recording and comparing energy data from three diverse production sites with numerous machines and utility flows. The answer? Phoenix Contact’s Data Collection Box and Proficloud.io, forming a seamlessly integrated solution for utility metering. Smart Services like EMMA and Time Series Data enabled comprehensive data evaluation and visualization, offering the Company a local and global view of their utility management.

The outcome? A 16% reduction in energy consumption in their Factory and a global dashboard facilitating cross-factory comparisons for informed decision-making.
