Smart machines

At Hannover Messe, TTTech Industrial will explain how workload consolidation can benefit businesses of any size by saving cost, reducing complexity, and even mitigating the effects of the chip shortage and present a live showcase of its edge computing platform Nerve at booth B66 in hall 11.

In today’s manufacturing landscape, companies are looking for ways to digitize their production and to improve their processes and products. At the same time, implementing digitalization solutions can be a cost- and resource-intensive process, particularly for smaller companies. The EU project Change2Twin* was started two years ago with the goal of supporting small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in their digitalization journey.

TTTech Industrial’s open and flexible edge computing platform Nerve consists of node software that runs on devices at the edge, as well as a management system that runs in the cloud or on a local server. Nerve’s features have been combined into feature sets to create four separate modules. These can be licensed individually or in combination, so customers can choose the package that best fits their use cases and budget.

Two of the leading solutions providers in the industrial IoT space have announced that they are partnering to offer customers a unique edge computing package. From today, Crosser’s edge analytics software will be available pre-installed on Nerve, the edge computing platform from TTTech Industrial. This bundle radically simplifies industrial IoT operations by combining first class software management and powerful streaming analytics with unrivalled ease of use.

TTTech Industrial is showing off the capabilities of its Nerve edge computing platform with a new robot control demonstrator. The demo, built in partnership with Intel, shows how users can actively create new control applications for one robot that can then be saved and deployed to other robots around the world with the click of a button via the Nerve management system.

Pioneering international machine and plant manufacturing company Fill is the first to upgrade to the latest version of Nerve, released in April 2020.

Updated version of TTTech Industrial’s successful edge computing software Nerve released in April Nerve reduces system complexity and cost, improves machine performance, and offers innovative new services to customers Nerve enables remote access to data from machines installed anywhere in the world Nerve is hardware-independent, running on standard industrial PCs

In November 2019, Austrian magazine "Austromatisierung" published an article featuring TTTech Industrial's software platform Nerve, describing how it is used by mechanical engineering and plant construction company Fill.
