Digital Factory Develops Innovative IIoT Solutions
Annabel Jondral, mechanical engineering and IT are becoming increasingly closely linked. How is Durr preparing for this change? As a mechanical engineering and plant construction company, we benefit from the direct availability of data from our machines and plants, unlike conventional software firms. In the Digital Factory, we can combine our domain and process knowledge with our software expertise. The global footprint of our manufacturing execution system iTAC.MES.Suite is just one example of the fact that Durr has been supporting its automotive customers with software products for some time. We have introduced this production control technology into more than 180 factories throughout the world over the last 20 years. The core functions of this software solution form an important foundation for our current digital products. Back in 2015, we introduced the digital@Durr strategy which has four key areas: smart products, smart services, smart processes and smart factories. Together with other leading mechanical engineering companies and Software AG, we developed the first Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform, known as Adamos, specifically for the mechanical engineering and plant construction industry. In addition, we will be making software updates and apps available to our customers via digital marketplaces such as Loxeo in future.
