SOMA – Using Machine Data to Your Advantage
Industry 4.0, Big Data, Internet of Things. The terms and buzzwords for networked and intelligent production are manifold. With SOMA, softgate provides a software solution for recording, visualization, and evaluation of production machine data. Data sources as well as areas of application are virtually unlimited. Any machine that delivers data by nature or maybe by retrofit sensors can be connected to SOMA by plug & play.
And this is the exact point of the buzzwords mentioned at the beginning: Linking of machines to powerful IT systems. Based on the extracted data, these IT systems are able to create relations, which allow prognoses or trends about machine or tool wear, product quality, or power consumption.
Digitalization of Production Machines
Digitalisierung von Produktionsmaschinen mit SOMASOMA uses modular hardware and thus allows an easy connection of a single machine or even a machine cluster. Central data storage provides customized comparisons or evaluations of a single machine or a machine group. By using the latest web technology and safety technology, worldwide access to your recorded and analyzed production machine data is possible.
