Evonik delivers pay-per-use water hygiene as a service using devices for water purification, water treatment and sanitation. In food production systems such as greenhouses, vertical farms, and animal barns, top water quality is of critical importance. In order to achieve this, agricultural customers can make use of a full-service package solution based on hydrogen peroxide - a powerful yet fully biodegradable oxidizing agent. The chemical is dosed remotely through an intelligent, data-driven system. The goal is to develop a comprehensive solution that enables customers in the agricultural sector to automate chemical dosing.

Digital Enterprise Services "Industrial Connectivity Services" are designed to connect everything  - from machines and components on the shop floor to higher-level systems, regardless of age or manufacturer, enabling IT/OT integration. "Industrial Connectivity Services' Connectivity Solutions" was just the right choice for Evonik, creating a connectivity concept and roadmap together with our Siemens service experts. Siemens service experts customized the approach, making sure to fit the needs of Evoniks specific use case - from connecting IT/OT data to making it visible and usable in Insights Hub. Siemens service experts are providing everything related to digitalization for remote control.  
The offering includes:

• (Annual) license for the Insights Hub which is operated for Evonik and its partners.
• Siemens IoT devices that bring the data from shop-floor to top-floor at the edge layer (SIMATIC IoT 2050).
• Commissioning of Siemens service experts: services relating to project management, consulting, architecture, software development.

For this service offering, Evonik uses an overall solution, that consists of additional equipment from third-party manufacturers – primarily to measure water quality and of certain proprietary control loops. For the actual customers (greenhouses and animal farming), this includes the entire service for keeping the water clean, including all equipment and chemicals provided by Evonik. 

The customer is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies. The company is active in more than 100 countries around the world. Evonik goes far beyond chemistry to create innovative, profitable and sustainable solutions for customers.
