[Case study] Monitor central ventilation air filters using IIoT

The central ventilation system at ifm prover gmbh is to be monitored. This includes the filters for the air supply and exhaust as well as the filters of the workstation exhaust system on the ground floor and the first floor. In principle, filters are, in simplified terms, a resistor in a system. Foreign particles that […]

Monitor water filters of heat exchangers using IIoT solutions

Microfilters in ifm prover gmbh’s cooling circuits ensure that their systems with heat exchangers run smoothly. The filters protect the heat exchangers in the connected machines by removing impurities from the cooling water. This important filter element must be serviced and changed regularly. Permanent monitoring optimizes this process and guarantees continuous operation of the systems […]

Industrial DataOps for IIoT Scalability

Most industrial IoT difficulties are rooted in data management shortcomings. However, these challenges are not the same as those faced in a purely IT setting. For example, operational technology (OT) data is high-velocity time series and event information that many times lacks the detailed metadata descriptors and features needed to leverage it outside of the […]
