“Big Data”, “IoT”, “Internet of Things” – All these were buzzwords for visions and scenarios the industry was thinking about a few years ago, freely following the motto “That would be nice”.
Today, the world of smart networking already looks very different, as buzzwords like “Internet of Things” are gradually becoming reality – not just for startups or high-end companies, but for small to medium-sized enterprises.

Stubbornly, the idea that machine parks need to be replaced when it comes to digitization or cloud computing persists, or the potential costs of Big Data applications seem too high.

With applications (for business and industry) such as Proficloud.io, a SAAS (Software as a Service), it becomes possible to additively connect machines and processes that already fulfill the idea of Big Data with the Industrial Internet Of Things cloud platform.

Phoenix Contact is pursuing the approach of connecting not only the smart devices of its own production, but also third-party devices via gateway and, for example, Node-RED.

The first step towards digitization and the use of the Internet of Things is to understand which data from machines and production processes actually mean what – and this is precisely where Proficloud.io comes into play in cloud computing: With the Device Management Service as one of the core services of the IoT platform and the more advanced smart services such as the Time Series Data Service, it is possible to visualize, understand and optimize processes. Understand data with devices, whether smart or connected to a smart gateway.

Since Proficloud.io can be used without IT knowledge, we have provided some information for you in our comprehensive Knowledge Hub that makes using the Industrial Internet of Things Platform even easier.

Without expensive retooling, without explicit IT knowledge in the IoT area.

Small to mid-sized companies are transforming their production, their work processes and learning to use data from machine parks, industry and devices.
