About The Customer
CodeWrights is a German technology company founded in 2002 and is a growing leader of integrating devices in industrial manufacturing for its customers. CodeWrights bridges connections from sensors and actuators used in process automation to higher level control systems, and asset management systems. Its IIoT platform runs applications installed on edge-based gateways accessible via the cloud. The company’s deep expertise in writing device drivers lets its customers in industrial manufacturing connect sensors and actuators to pull off incredible feats of automated manufacturing efficiency.
The Challenge
CodeWrights, a German technology company, specializes in integrating devices in industrial manufacturing for its customers. They bridge connections from sensors and actuators used in process automation to higher-level control systems and asset management systems. However, they faced challenges in increasing access to equipment data and analysis through a centralized platform. They wanted to optimize automation using the IoT and offer improved operational efficiency and overall factory health. The company’s deep expertise in writing device drivers lets its customers in industrial manufacturing connect sensors and actuators to pull off incredible feats of automated manufacturing efficiency. But in today’s competitive market, if you only access this basic data from your devices, you’re leaving serious efficiency, and dollars, on the table.
The Solution
CodeWrights teamed up with Software AG and its Cumulocity IoT platform to unleash a fluid flow of actionable industrial IoT data to CodeWrights’ customers. The new solution autonomously collects everything from device ID, manufacturing date, operational parameters and beyond—driving predictive maintenance, worker safety and the bottom line improvements for large industrial customers. The Cumulocity IoT-powered solution allows CodeWrights’ customers—and their end customers—to manage industrial devices with newly accessible data. Now plant operators can literally see everything about all their connected devices in customizable dashboards on-premises or in the cloud. A gateway running the solution detects devices automatically once it’s installed and configured. No manual steps needed.
Operational Impact
  • With Cumulocity IoT, customers can record everything for later, and use dashboards to see only what they need in the moment to monitor and maintain the health of their devices.
  • Predictive maintenance is planned maintenance. And that means avoiding painful delays and high costs from unexpected downtime that directly eat into profits.
  • Automatic notifications of equipment starting to go out of spec keeps production agile and under control, and manufacturing quality consistent and high.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced factory downtime
  • Cut costs with predictive maintenance
  • Improved worker safety
