Challenge: Flying Blind in Manufacturing

Many plants operate on a three-shift schedule but still rely on delayed reports and siloed solutions. Decisions are made under time pressure—often without a reliable data foundation. This leads to several challenges:
 

Limited real-time visibility

Machine statuses and key performance indicators such as OEE are often analyzed only after a delay. As a result, short-term opportunities for optimization in day-to-day operations go untapped.

Unplanned downtime

Maintenance is primarily reactive. Process deviations are noticed too late, and scheduled operations are disrupted.

Quality deviations detected late

Discrepancies are often not noticed until the final inspections. This increases scrap and the amount of rework required.

Distributed data silos

Machine data, quality data, and order information are spread across multiple systems. It is difficult to obtain a comprehensive overview of production.

Increasing security requirements

As systems become increasingly interconnected, there is a growing need to reliably protect production data and industrial IP without disrupting operations.

Measurable Added Value: More Output, Less Downtime

Make your production measurable and controllable with Real-Time Production Intelligence – during ongoing operations, without waiting for the next monthly report. This delivers concrete benefits for you:

  • Up to 12% more OEE improvement potential: You can see at a glance where your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) can be improved—and focus your efforts exactly where intervention is most effective.
  • Up to 10% less downtime: Malfunctions and maintenance can be planned more effectively. Your equipment runs more reliably, and unplanned stoppages decrease.
  • Less scrap, higher quality: Process deviations are immediately noticeable. Your teams can intervene before entire batches are affected.
  • Faster response times: The control room, shift supervisors, and maintenance receive relevant information immediately. This shortens response times and stabilizes operations.
  • Better decision-making basis for management: Standardized metrics simplify investments and capacity planning.

Solution: The real-time control center for your manufacturing

Real-Time Production Intelligence connects your machines, edge systems, and cloud services into a digital production control center. Via Cybus’s Industrial Orchestration Layer, machine data and sensor values are continuously captured and made available in a structured format, independent of the manufacturer, creating a clear live picture of your production. The robust STACKIT Cloud provides the infrastructure on which this data is processed, stored, and made available for applications.

In a central data space (Unified Namespace), OEE, availability, and quality metrics converge and are presented in clear dashboards for all roles. Analytics and AI make anomalies in disruptions, quality, or cycle times visible early on. Your existing production processes remain unchanged, but decisions are based on significantly better information.

Competitive Advantage: Seamless Real-Time Manufacturing on STACKIT

Turn this information advantage into a real competitive edge—with a secure, scalable foundation for your production data on STACKIT.
 

European data sovereignty

Your production data remains in European data centers and is subject exclusively to European law.

Stable production even in emergencies

The infrastructure is designed for business-critical scenarios. Plants with high availability requirements benefit from fewer outages and more stable operations.

High scalability

Whether it’s a production line, a plant, or an entire production network—the solution scales with your requirements without requiring you to invest in new base infrastructure.

Protection for your industrial IP

Production and machine data are processed in a way that safeguards your intellectual property—a clear advantage over less secure environments. Updates are performed with minimal disruption, allowing production to continue with virtually no update-related downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Real-Time Production Intelligence

 What are the prerequisites for getting started?

You need access to machine data and a stable network connection between the shop floor and the cloud.

Do I need to replace my existing MES or SCADA system?

The solution complements your existing infrastructure: machine data and events are integrated, processed, and made available for OEE, dashboards, and analytics—without replacing your core systems.

How quickly will the benefits be visible in production?

Initial effects—such as improved OEE transparency, faster response to malfunctions, and fewer unplanned downtimes—are often visible after just a few months. In the long term, unit costs decrease and utilization improves.
