A manufacturer of pharmaceutical products somewhere in the world examines their new fully automatic Burgener filling system with integrated sealing module, which closes and packs its product hermetically away from external influences. While the solution is convincing, one module is not to the liking of the customer and they simply delete it. Delete it? Thanks to Solid Edge, this will soon be a reality, as Burgener will then be able to create a digital twin of the plant as early as the design phase.

The combination of the compact Simatic IOT2050 gateway and the industrial IoT-as-a-service solution MindSphere enables a high degree of flexibility and optimum data processing. For each application in the cement plant, it is possible to determine which data is collected, processed or harmonised locally and which is then processed in the cloud.
