German Edge Cloud and INTRA<\/span>NAV are cooperating
for the Digital Factory<\/h2>\n

  Eschborn\/Frankfurt am Main – Germany, November, 18, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint applications for intelligently controlled production lines, track & trace and analytics services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

German Edge Cloud (GEC) and INTRA<\/strong>NAV are combining their expertise for the manufacturing industry. The Friedhelm Loh Group\u2019s specialist for edge and cloud solutions will be working together with INTRA<\/strong>NAV, the pioneer in hardware and software for real-time object location for the smart factory. Their vision includes track-and-trace applications for moving objects, products for intelligently controlled production lines and smart analytics services.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cProduction processes and the associated supply of materials are extremely complex and highly interdependent. Only with transparent real-time data on all moving objects \u2013 from vehicles and materials to tools \u2013 can we optimise processes and guarantee quality,\u201d explains Ersan G\u00fcnes, CTO of IntraNav GmbH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are pleased that we can now offer, among other things, location applications in real time for the manufacturing industry through our cooperation with INTRA<\/strong>NAV,\u201d says Dieter Meuser, CEO Cloud & Industrial Solutions at German Edge Cloud: \u201cThese applications run practically in real-time and with minimal delay times, based on our ONCITE solution. Furthermore, as an industrial IoT appliance centred on the edge cloud, it permits the operation of edge and cloud-based infrastructure solutions, as well as all the services needed for hardware, software and the platform.\u201d<\/p> Dieter Meuser, CEO Cloud & Industrial Solutions, German Edge Cloud<\/em><\/em><\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n


The location applications are based on a \u201cReal-Time Location Data\u201d technology stack (RTLS). In combination with INTRA<\/strong>NAV’s ultra-wideband and\/or multi-RTLS stack, both companies’ customers can now benefit from location accuracies of as tight as +\/-10 cm in industrial environments. This means that users can precisely locate moving objects on their shop floor in real-time \u2013 even in application scenarios with such complex factors as changing environments, interference from metal and harsh environments, and where other tough demands are placed on location accuracy and stability. For the user, this means transparency about where moving objects are and in what condition. This all makes it possible to optimize processes, achieve process reliability, and significantly increase efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eWe combine process virtualization with real-time indoor track and trace data, as well as with digitized workflows that largely automate the manual processes on the shop floor.\u201d\u201c<\/p> Andreas Radix, CEO, IntraNav GmbH.<\/em><\/em><\/em> <\/em><\/em><\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n


\u201cWith ONCITE, data is processed as close as possible to its point of origin. This way, huge amounts of data can be processed locally with minimal latency times; the results can be reported without delay. This is a basic requirement that lets us offer services like tracking and tracing,\u201d Dieter Meuser explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Controlling, analysing and optimising processes
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The edge cloud-centric ONCITE industrial IoT appliance also includes cloud-native MES and MOM functionalities, which can be combined with the IIoT appliance’s IoT services. Based on INTRA<\/strong>NAV real-time location data, the applications can perform transaction control, data collection or analysis in real-time, for example. A cycle of analytics, alerts and live dashboarding uses the data to generate insights and optimizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottlenecks, shortages and errors can be avoided and search times significantly reduced by integrating the high-precision INTRA<\/strong>NAV real-time and sensor data. In this way, optimization potentials can be identified on the production line while weak points and waste can be identified. Moreover, with retrograde analyses, those responsible can examine and optimize dwell times, throughput times, material flow analyses, or for example, the trails traveled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


GEC takes on 24×7 managed services for INTRA<\/strong>NAV on the edge cloud-centric ONCITE industrial IoT appliance.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With end-to-end managed services, German Edge Cloud ensures the operation of application software and cloud management to ensure maximum availability and data security in INTRA<\/strong>NAV projects.
