Seamless data integration for smarter production
B&R IIoT Connector is the bridge between your machines and the digital world. It enables seamless and efficient data collection and integration without costly infrastructure changes. With IIoT Connector, you can utilize the full potential of your machine data and make informed decisions to optimize your production processes.
Until now, companies have faced major challenges when it comes to data collection because machine data is often stored in isolated systems that span various providers, protocols and formats. Data acquisition is therefore difficult and cost-intensive, especially for existing systems. Even if data is available, it often remains unstructured and scattered, which makes it difficult to harmonize and contextualize. Without this basis, it is difficult to draw clear and actionable conclusions.
Integration
IIoT Connector allow simple and flexible machine data acquisition regardless of the existing infrastructure.
Data acquisition
Collect critical metrics and make sure the right data reaches the right people at the right time.
Scalability
IIoT Connector is scalable and can be used in both small and large production environments.
Safety
Robust security measures ensure that your data is protected and accessible both locally and in the cloud.
Easy configuration
IIoT Connector offers configurable data routing and makes it possible to specify which data is sent where.
Many IIoT projects fail in the early phases – often due to the high effort required to continuously capture raw data from machines in different "languages", translate it and forward it to IT systems. B&R IIoT Connector solves exactly this problem: It uses B&R's powerful technologies to extract highly frequent and detailed data from the OT world. It filters out relevant information, translates it into standardized IT formats and transfers it to digital systems – locally or in the cloud.
Conventional monitoring systems detect obvious faults, but often have difficulty detecting creeping wear, suboptimal energy use or premature failures. Optimizing a single machine can make sense, but the full potential is only utilized when the findings are aggregated and integrated across entire production lines or multiple locations.
The B&R solution comes as a container-based app that is quick and easy to install. It can be operated independently or seamlessly integrated into common IIoT platforms – including remote control via APIs.
