Industrial production is becoming increasingly interlinked with modern information and communication technology. From the foundation of intelligent digitally-networked systems, a largely self-organized production will be possible. In Industrie4.0, people, machinery, plants, logistics and products will communicate and cooperate directly. To connect these different strands, a unified, flexible, high-performance system is needed to provide company-wide, real-time, information flow. To target these issues, we developed enterprise:inmation. It securely and efficiently gathers data from manufacturing, process control and IT systems all around the globe, contextualizes it and transforms it into actionable information, which is presented to every decision-maker on any device, anytime, at any location. Software made by industrial system integration pros, in close cooperation with industry leaders. Business performance in real-time, anytime, anywhere, for all decision- makers -that is enterprise:inmation.

3. Industrial production is becoming increasingly interlinked with modern
information and communication technology. From the foundation of intelligent
digitally-networked systems, a largely self-organized production will be possible.
In Industrie 4.0, people, machinery, plants, logistics and products
will communicate and cooperate directly.
To connect these different strands, a unified, flexible, high-performance
system is needed to provide company-wide, real-time, information flow.
Status Quo: Industrial Production & Industrie 4.0

4. Three Steps to the System of Systems
• Complete, secure, uninterrupted
real-time data communication.
• Freeing systems from operating in
isolation and abolish “data silos”.
• High-Resolution data support at sub-
millisecond scale and below.
• Unlimited scalability. Compatibility
with legacy systems.
• Close gap between IT and OT.
• New insight into business
performance.
• Increase ease of future system
integration.
• Lower effort and TCO, both on setup
and lifecycle maintenance.
• Provide added value for all business
layers by FAST DATA integration.
Challenges Desired OutcomesIdeal Solution
• Single, all-purpose software solution
to unite data sources across
enterprise.
• Mobile system that makes information
available to company decision makers.
• High performance, high resolution
data historian.
• Future-proof, flexible, scalable
infrastructure.

5. The System of Systems
It securely and efficiently gathers data from manufacturing, process control
and IT systems all around the globe, contextualizes it and transforms it into
actionable information, which is presented to every decision-maker
on any device, anytime, at any location.

The Global Machine Cloud

11. | Use Case 1 - Discrete Manufacturing
World Market Leader in Consumer Products (NLD)
Site-wide High Speed Data Collection
Situation
Production of personal lifestyle products for the entire world at one location
2000 employees, ~1000 machines, 25 million units per year
Development
Site-wide, data collection, historization and availability at sub-millisecond sampling rate
Goals
Hundreds of Connector components with a historian backbone of 20 terabyte units, horizontal
plug and play expansion, reaching petabyte capacity, towards ‘Zero Defect Manufacturing’

12. | Use Case 2 - Machine Production
World Market Leader in Packing Machines (DEU)
The Global Machine Cloud
Situation
1000 machines worldwide and a deployment of over 70 new production lines per year, one of the leading
companies in the field of packaging automation.
Development
Complete upgrade of company’s legacy line management software. Launch of new business models with
global cloud technology. All the machines and system components of a production line (including third party
components) were completely standardized in the OPC Unified Architecture.
Goals
Complex standard is supported at any depth, scaling factors within line management meet the high Track &
Trace standards of the food industry. ERP systems for the end user are simplified by the flexibility of the
inmation system interface. All production lines have a secure cloud connection to enable worldwide
monitoring by the service and support units.

13. | Use Case 3 – Process Industry
World Market Leader in Chemical Production (DEU)
Global Real-time Data Infrastructure
Situation
One of the largest chemical companies in the world with a system connecting production locations worldwide
to the headquarters in Germany with more than 50 distributed system services. enterprise:inmation was
selected as a platform to achieve ‘Global Manufacturing Intelligence’ aims.
Development
Field device data, alarm and event streams, process and performance data are consolidated worldwide and are
passed on to various, central analysis systems.
Goals
Dozen applications now covered, more to follow. Including predictive maintenance, efficiency monitoring,
global infrastructure monitoring or any other performance-oriented Fast Data application. Use of hundreds of
CPU cores on distributed computers worldwide, with simple, centralized management of the entire system.

14. … we see this system as unique in its market space and
