Endress+Hauser supports its customers on the path to digitalization
The Internet of Industrial Things (IIoT) has enormous potential: predictive maintenance, asset information management and equipment configuration, to name just a few of the opportunities that digitalization can offer companies. Endress+Hauser promotes IIoT through innovative products and solutions, and by working with its partners. A commitment that has twice proved its worth, with the title of Digital Champion and the presentation of a new digital platform at the German Digital Summit.
The benefits of digitalization are also evident in the process industry. Increased networking opens up new opportunities for process optimization and improves site efficiency. Endress+Hauser is therefore constantly expanding its range of products, solutions and services to improve customer productivity and system availability, and boost competitiveness.
Digital Champion 2017
With Memosens, Endress+Hauser introduced cutting-edge sensor technology for liquid analysis in sectors such as chemicals, power & energy, food, water & wastewater over 10 years ago. Memosens sensors measure the pH value in liquids, for example, and convert it into a digital signal while it's still in the probe. The data is then passed through a non-contact system, providing highly accurate, reproducible and reliable results. This technology also combines a high degree of process and data security with simple handling: it avoids the effects of humidity, corrosion and salt bridges, and enables laboratory calibration and predictive maintenance. Memosens was awarded the title of Digital Champion in the Digital Products and Services category in June 2017. The award represents a joint initiative of German telecommunications operator Telekom and WirtschaftsWoche magazine, created in 2016 with the aim of rewarding significant projects by medium-sized companies.
Endress+Hauser at the Digital Summit
Endress+Hauser also demonstrates its commitment through its collaboration with partners: the company has created a platform for exchanging data with BASF, SAP, Pepperl+Fuchs and SAMSON. It was presented for the first time at the Digital Summit of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The event was held in June 2017 in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and attracted over 1,000 participants, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The platform enables new forms of data-based cooperation. The efficiency and competitiveness of chemical production can be significantly improved, enabling new business models to be created. The ability to collect data on the condition of equipment and components, and to exchange this data with all parties involved in the process, enables maintenance requirements to be better defined, maintenance work to be planned more efficiently, and site shutdowns to be limited.
A subsidiary for IIoT activities
Endress+Hauser has grouped its IIoT activities in a subsidiary in Freiburg, Germany, to meet the demands of digitalization. Here, specialists work exclusively on products, solutions and services for digitized sites. This includes, for example, customized Cloud solutions that use specific production process data to increase profitability, as well as services for the entire site lifecycle.
