Pittarc aimed to increase visibility over the critical parameters that influence product quality and production stability, moving beyond simple data collection to a system capable of transforming information into actionable insights. The company wanted to improve its ability to intervene quickly when process anomalies occurred, ensuring higher consistency and predictability across production lines. To achieve this, Pittarc sought an open, scalable and future‑ready Industrial IoT platform that could integrate seamlessly with existing equipment while supporting new technologies. The overarching objective was to empower operators and managers with a unified, intuitive environment—governed directly by the company—that would support data‑driven decisions, enhance operational autonomy and lay the foundation for long‑term digital evolution

By partnering with beanTech and leveraging Siemens Industrial Edge, Pittarc implemented an open, scalable IIoT architecture that connects sensors, PLCs and existing IT systems into a unified edge‑to‑cloud environment. This solution enables real‑time monitoring of critical process parameters, the creation of custom KPIs and virtual signals, and the configuration of predictive alarm thresholds aligned with production needs. Operators and managers can now access clear, intuitive dashboards and independently configure analytics and alerts, reducing reliance on IT and speeding up decision‑making. The impact has been tangible: process stability has increased, interventions are now timely, and a major defect was reduced from 64% to just 3%. The scalable architecture also allows the method to be extended across lines and plants, giving Pittarc a future‑ready foundation for continuous digital growth
