ON THE ROAD TO THE SMART FACTORY WITH ZENON View production figures, regardless of when or where? Always be informed about current activities or upcoming orders? Read how zenon and zenon IIoT Services enable meaningful analysis of data from widely distributed equipment and locations. In the Smart Factory, machines are connected to each other to manufacture products and goods in perfect harmony with each other. The equipment provides detailed insights into the manufacturing process to enable companies to optimize and improve the efficiency of individual processes. To offer this overview, monitoring using simple visualization plays an important role, allowing for quick intervention in the event of a problem. Therefore, an intuitive user interface is an absolute necessity. It should ideally be available on-the-go via smartphone or laptop.

Corresponding security precautions and user management are essential. To achieve this, first and foremost, extensive networking is required between the equipment in use. This not only affects new acquisitions but also, to a large extent, existing systems. With this retrofitting, in particular, it is necessary to use flexible and adaptable automation solutions that support a large number of communication protocols. This provides an ideal basis for connecting machines and synchronizing processes with each other.
