DIGITAL INDUSTRY THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE. ARE YOU READY?

MCD

MCD (Mechatronics Concept Designer) is a mechatronic simulation software based on Siemens NX that enables us to connect the PLC programme with the machine’s 3D design, and to create a simulation linking both environments: the mechanical and that aimed at programming and control.

• Improved programming times.
• Anticipate the commissioning.
• Improved quality.
• Less time at destination.
• Cost savings.
• Possibility of training the client before they receive the machine.
• Benefits can be replicated in future modifications to the machine.

Safe advanced robotics and mechatronics

At the Elektra Group, we propose software development tools that can deal with projects that encompass control, motion, robotics and safety. All this at the same time, and based on the required safety regulations for each application. Through our eco-system of suppliers, we are able to offer a comprehensive solution for your production line.

• Integration of all the solutions under one programming software tool.
• Time-saving.
• Increase in quality.
• Resource optimisation.
• Knowledge of a single environment for everything.
• Facility for standardising processes.

deviceWise

There are endless sources of data at an industrial plant that manage information with their own formats and communication protocols. It is essential to have IIoT software platforms that facilitate the interconnection of all this information. These platforms have to be able to interpret all types of industrial protocols and to connect any database with ERP, MES, etc., and at the same time they need to send this processed information to the cloud or to Edge. Telit deviceWISE is the only IIoT platform that enables all this to be done simply and intuitively (without having to programme a line of code), and that has the capacity to process information. It even has direct connectors with SAP, IBM Watson, Azure, MindSphere, etc., which means the integration tasks are simplified.

• Efficiency in the plant’s operations.
• Improved quality.
• Management optimisation: response times, anticipation, availability improvements…
• Increase in production performance, which consequently leads to increased business performance.

OCTOPLANT

Octoplant ensures data consistency and greater protection in production plants. The modular software platform offers comprehensive asset and device management as well as backups, adapted to the individual challenges of your industrial plant. Business intelligence enables consistent data evaluation, unlocking valuable insights. Seamless compliance management and reliable threat protection guarantee comprehensive protection for your plant.

• IoT Device Management: Know and manage what is going on with your devices
• Safeguarding Assets: Ensure all devices are configured correctly
• Instant Recovey: Quickly bring back the right system configurations
• Business Intelligence: Make more informed decision
• Operational Efficiency: Drive Efficient operations
• Compliance Management: Fulfill regulatory requirements and streamline production audits
• Threat Protection: Take proactive action to prevent security breaches
• Education & Training: Use octoplant effectively

Industrial cyber security

IT/OT convergence and the new regulations and standards regarding industrial cyber security mean companies have to design communications networks at work in an available and cyber secure way. Segmentation, VPN secure remote access, DMZ using firewalls, network diagnosis in real time... all these implementations are necessary in this type of infrastructure. The Elektra Group, accompanied by Weidmüller and Siemens with the Scalance range, offers you a practical and efficient solution that meets all the industry requirements and standards such as the IEC 62443. External providers and suppliers have access to our plant to carry out remote maintenance jobs, which means we have to work with secure remote access solutions. To ensure this is possible, the Elektra Group suggests two solutions options. Secure remote access using VPN tunnels that have been created in the router provider's cloud, or VPN services created by the system’s administrator and user through their own infrastructure.

• Compliance with industrial cyber security regulations.
• Improved availability.
• Security in assets and processes.
• Improved problem-solving.
• Time savings.
• Improved costs.

SOFTWARE CLOUD IIOT

Within the industrial sphere, the Elektra Group uses a range of “open cloud” software platforms (that reside in the cloud or in secure host repositories). This type of analysis tool enables us to make decisions according to the KPIs and the processes’ status. The optimisation sequence would be as follows:

These platforms have tools to analyse information about the processes. We will advise you regarding the most suitable solution after an in-depth study of your needs.

• Improvements in the machine manufacturing processes.
• Optimisation of the machines’ performance.
• Increase in quality.
• Cost and time savings in commissioning and maintenance tasks.
