Clouver Platform: IIoT Production Monitoring

Clouver is an IIoT production monitoring platform for manufacturing companies – regardless of the products you manufacture or the industry you operate in. You can connect both individual or a few machines, as well as entire machine parks. Clouver is equally suitable for small businesses just entering the world of Industry 4.0 and manufacturers with large production lines requiring comprehensive solutions.

By implementing an IIoT solution, you identify optimisation potential for your production and sustainably increase your machine productivity. You benefit from numerous advantages that help you save costs and time in the long run and make decisions based on reliable information:

• Boost Your Machine Efficiency: Monitor and optimise industrial processes by transforming downtimes and failures into productive times.
• Make Data-Driven Decisions: Utilise extensive real-time data for precise planning and performance improvements.
• Reduce Hidden Production Costs: Predictive wear and maintenance analyses through sensors reduce downtime and significantly increase machine lifespan.
• Stay On Top of Your Production: With access to real-time data, you always have an overview of your manufacturing – accessible from any device, anywhere.
• Save Time, Time, and More Time: Implementing paperless order management saves considerable time by eliminating all your walking distances and manual working steps.

Absolutely! If an export from the ERP system via the MQTT network protocol is possible, integration occurs without additional steps. Otherwise, a SmartKit can establish an interface between the ERP system and Clouver.

Either way, we ensure a solution that brings data from your production planning and order management to your machines and transfers machine data collected with Clouver to your ERP system.

Clouver consolidates data from various areas:

• Your machines provide information about production, including:
  • Status information
  • Production events
    (downtime, shift changes, number of produced parts, ...)
  • Availability and failure of machines
  • Performance information on machines
  • Quality information
    (e.g., scrap capture).
• Your employees provide detailed information about:
  • Failures
  • Service activities
  • manual steps.
• Overarching MES or ERP systems complete your overall view with data about:
  • manufactured products
  • materials used
  • jobs
  • planning information.

With Clouver, you centralise all this information, enabling you to use it in your production and for the management and optimisation of your manufacturing.

Yes, your data is secure in Clouver. With our well thought-out security mechanisms to secure your data against loss, alteration, or third-party access, along with the sophisticated rights management in the Cloud, you can rest easily without any security concerns.

For more information on security and technical details, please refer to the Clouver Cloud FactSheet, available in the download section at the bottom of this page.

The hardware can range from easy-to-use, non-invasive current measurement clamps and gateways with data interfaces to sensor packages customised for your machine. Typically, we use our SmartKit Gateways for this purpose. For considering the "human factor" in production, we additionally leverage the TouchPanels of our DowntimeAnalytics and Paperless solution. In any case, we provide you with the complete package.

Feel free to reach out – we are always ready to advise you on creating the optimal package to increase throughput in your production!

The implementation of Clouver is straightforward because we meet you right where you are in your journey to digitisation. We accompany you in the initial steps of digitising your bottleneck machine, through digitiasation and monitoring for your production line, to the digitisation strategy of your entire company. Initial steps are quickly implemented and realised; the key is to have a reliable partner for your further journey. We are happy to accompany you and walk through each of your individual steps with you.

With Clouver, you have the option for a simple and cost-effective entry using the sandwich method: you assemble the composition you need from the components of our offer. The costs for use are very individual, depending on the type, age, and number of machines. Also, the costs vary depending on the specific solution you want to use. For example, if you want to make your production completely paperless, we recommend adding the Clouver Paperless option to the Clouver platform. Using only the Clouver SmartKit enables a simple and cost-effective entry into machine production monitoring.
