MindSphere is the leading IoT-as-a-Service solution that uses advanced analytics and AI to implement IoT solutions from edge to cloud.
The conversion of industrial IoT data into meaningful information for companies is in reality not an invariably standardized process.
With open standards and robust APIs, MindSphere enables its developers to create applications that meet a wide range of business requirements. This means that data can be linked and exchanged with little effort and with numerous products.
MindSphere, the industrial IoT-as-a-Service solution from Siemens, enables industries worldwide to connect their machines and physical infrastructure to the digital world easily, quickly and cost-effectively. Leveraging data from virtually any number of networked intelligent devices, enterprise systems, and federated sources enables real-time analysis of operational data. This analysis then leads to optimized processes, resource and productivity gains, the development of new business models and the reduction of operating and maintenance costs. Companies that use MindSphere increase performance, strengthen their competitive advantage and achieve more profitability.
MindConnect at IIoT
With the MindConnect IIoT extension, practically any IIoT-capable asset from any manufacturer can be connected to MindSphere. Numerous field protocols are supported by default, along with a wide range of hardware connectivity agents to fill the gap for other protocols. In addition, the MindConnect API enables the programming of customer- or application-specific connectivity agents by interacting with the standardized APIs of MindSphere. The API for connectivity facilitates the secure and efficient transfer of data from assets to MindSphere.
MindConnect according to ERP and MES
In addition to asset connectivity, the MindConnect integration option offers the ability to connect multiple data systems to MindSphere, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. With browser-based tools for the graphical configuration of the data value assignment, users can set up flexible integration in order to bring company systems both in the cloud and on site into a context with MindSphere.
