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.

In today’s digitalized production environments, large amounts of machine data need to be collected and processed to support manufacturers in analyzing and improving their systems and processes. The data typically comes from a large variety of machines and a range of software that is responsible for different functions within the machines.

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.
