At the ACHEMA 2024 trade fair, Bosch Digital Twin Industries and Pepperl+Fuchs unveiled the Digital Twin Starter Kit, a solution crafted to transform predictive maintenance in industrial settings. This comprehensive package includes state-of-the-art sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs, an IO-Link master, and a fanless embedded PC, among other pivotal components that constitute a seamless hardware setup experience.
Full integration in short time
The integration of the IO-Link master enables a proficient pre-processing of sensor data which is then transferred to the embedded PC. This processed data seamlessly flows into the Bosch Digital Twin platform, made accessible on leading cloud services like AWS and MS-Azure, where AI-driven algorithms undertake the analysis. These algorithms empower digital twins of the machinery to anticipate anomalies and potential failures, significantly enhancing maintenance precision and reducing the likelihood of unexpected downtimes. With the Digital Twin IoT Starter Kit from Bosch, clients can expect a swift setup, translating to a full scope view of their operations in mere hours, reaching full integration in two weeks.
Bradford Beale, Director Global IIoT Solutions at Pepperl+Fuchs, emphasizes the kit's value, "Our collaboration with Bosch merges robust sensing technologies with intelligent analytics, delivering unparalleled uptime and maintenance foresight to our customers."
Matthias Wieland, Global Partner Manager & Sales Head Europe at Bosch Digital Twin Industries, further explains the solution's profound impact, "It’s more than a kit; it's a transformative maintenance strategy, leveraging cloud and AI to provide comprehensive insights, from operational metrics to sustainability considerations, accessible globally."
The Digital Twin IAPM solution's capability to predict and visualize mechanical issues in detailed 3D models allows for immediate intervention, ensuring consistent operational integrity across diverse industries. With this starter kit, customers can quickly establish their applications, revealing the complete potential of their operations swiftly and with marked efficiency.
