LACK OF REAL-TIME MACHINE DATA

// The Challenge

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the greatest impediment to process improvement is not always regulatory constraints.

In many instances, it can be lack of real-time process visibility. The foundation of any factory’s digital transformation begins with the automated capture, transformation, and contextualization of machine data.
// The Solution

Vimachem Machine Data Connectivity IIoT-driven software provides a scalable solution for manufacturers that can be self-installed to easily collect data from any piece of equipment and send it to Cloud or to a local server, to enable actionable machine insights in a matter of minutes.

Benefits of the Machine Data Connectivity Module

Machine Real-Time Connectivity
Capture PLC and control data

Universal plug and measure data collection for PLC’s that support open protocols including MTConnect, OPC-UA, and Modbus.

Connect sensors quickly

To incorporate even the most difficult equipment, add external sensors or link older equipment with digital and analog IO that can be configured and operated centrally through a web interface.

Transform data instantly

To allow reliable reporting and analytics, our automated data transformation engine converts machine data into common data structures across all types of equipment. Custom Sensor Values, Machine Status, Modes, Alarms, Overrides, Load, Speeds, Feeds, Diagnostics, and other data objects are collected, transformed and stored ready to real-time analytics.

Deploy with flexibility

Easily deploy Vimachem IIoT Edge devices connected directly to any modern machine control system via the ethernet port, or install our Edge software on your own VM or server.

Cloud integration (optional)

Data is encrypted and safely streamed to the Vimachem IIoT Cloud MES platform in real time via ethernet, wifi, or cellular connectivity.

Plug & connect communications for any machine or device

// Utilize IIoT, big data, and cloud technologies to expand machine connectivity and increase the value of machine data.
