What we do

With our industrial connectivity service, we establish seamless connections between OT’s legacy devices and IT’s applications. Using a Unified Namespace(UNS) and MQTT brokers, we connect the different parts of your enterprise, allowing for data flow and communication. We integrate gateways into your sensors and other OT components, enabling them to transmit data to your IT systems.

By transitioning from point-to-point connections to a central hub and a single source of truth, you establish an architectural foundation for the future.This empowers you with advanced analytics capabilities, such as optimising Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), providing valuable insights at a global enterprise level.

How we do it

Our approach follows a standard project methodology encompassing requirements gathering, analysis, implementation, and ongoing support. At Coretecs, we always stress the importance of the human element throughout this project lifecycle. That’s why we assist in bridging the knowledge gap by explaining the benefits of the architecture and helping your operators adapt to the new way of working. By aiming for early wins and engaging the right people,we will ensure the successful scaling of your digital transformation journey.

We prioritise cybersecurity with a secure-by-design approach. Our extensive experience in manufacturing means that we know the added risks of connecting your devices to a network, but we also know how to mitigate those risks. From day one, we incorporate aspects such as access control, firewalls, encryption of gateways, and network segmentation to make sure that you and your data stay protected.

We also take special care to explain the benefits of adhering to the ISA-95 standard for automated interfaces between enterprise and control systems. With our solution, you will be able to browse your enterprise's assets as if you were usinga file explorer. Data elements, like temperature readings, are standardized and shared universally, making it irrelevant which type of PLC or legacy system youhave. Real-time device status updates become readily available, enhancing operational visibility.

Why invest in IndustrialConnectivity?

Digital transformations, especially those in the manufacturing industry, rely heavily on data, but often encounter two main obstacles: the availability and poor quality of data. Overcoming these challenges paves the way for a future-proof foundation, but this requires a system that is secure, reliable, and scalable.

That’s why we choose an approach based on a UNS. Your data will be centrally accessible, while the load is shared across every system within your ecosystem. This node-based structure ensures the resilience of your systems. It gives you the flexibility to add, remove, or modify systems without triggering a cascading effect of dependencies that force you to overhaul your entire infrastructure or modify your data. By transitioning from a product-driven to a technology-driven ecosystem, you will also avoid vendor lock-in.

The "no data left behind" principle of the UNS ensures that all data iscaptured for future analysis, even if your organization doesn't currently require it. This becomes particularly valuable in scenarios involving mergers or acquisitions. If you want to globally align your KPIs and increase your OEE,you'll need infrastructure capable of data cleaning, mapping, contextualization, and the incorporation of new or updated systems.

In summary, our industrial connectivity service, empowered by the Unified Namespace (UNS), simplifies integration, reduces costs, enhances organizational agility throug hreal-time data access, and facilitates scalability by centralizing communication within a single hub.
