Innovative PROXIA MES-Software technologies – in detail

PROXIA XI Gateway – Central “data provider” for secure data transfer via OPC-UA

Industry 4.0 systems communicate mainly via OPC-UA, but many machines and systems only communicate on the basis of other technologies. The PROXIA XI Gateway solves this problem. This module transforms different communication modes and protocols into OPC-UA. For example, the XI Gateway prepares data which has been captured using MTConnect so that it can be read by the OPC-UA client. The data source remains MTConnect, but the user enjoys the benefits of OPC-UA. For example, network failures can be compensated by the use of HA technology (Historical Access), or data transmission security can be significantly enhanced by the functions integrated into OPC-UA.

PROXIA Cloud and MES – hybrid application for optimal cloud use in an MES context

PROXIA MES operates DDA technology (Distributed Data Architecture). This enables the benefits of central data warehousing to be combined with the advantages of cloud-based storage of data. For any kind of data, the user can decide whether it should be saved locally within the company IT infrastructure or in an external cloud, e.g. Microsoft Azure. This process allows e.g. product, sensitive or critical data to remain within the company’s “four walls”. Certain system telemetry data can be saved in parallel in the cloud to e.g. make data available to external service providers. The data can be even be written directly to the cloud through the use of an MQTT gateway (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport).

  • PROXIA Cloud & MES – Optimum cloud usage in the MES context!

    The customer-oriented, new "SaaS concept" (Software as a Service) is fully in line with the trend, especially the Industry 4.0 idea. That is, the software is provided by an external service provider, e.g. on-site, hosted and offered. The customer only obtains the service of the service over the Internet and does not have to worry about the hardware anymore.

    It seems an ideal solution. Nevertheless, it raises the question of whether all the data must be or should be managed in this way? In the context of MES, PROXIA has a meaningful and practicable solution with its hybrid cloud concept:

    • Scalable storage solutions using the latest cloud technologies
    • Sensitive and time-sensitive data remains in the private core database of your company
    • Cloud data provisioning for targeted external use outside the company
    • Compliance with the highest privacy standards combined with the greatest possible flexibility and storage scaling
    • Hybrid operation of both concepts as the basis for Industry 4.0: secure, scalable, flexible and complete
