Industrial cloud computing –
For the automation of tomorrow
The trend towards digitization includes opportunities and risks for the industry,
because digitization requires high computing power and memory capacity. Industrial
cloud computing allows companies to process and assess the growing amount of data
and then use this to optimize the entire value added chain.
Industrial cloud computing is the solution to accommodate the new requirements of
automation and to establish new digital business models.

Future-proof automation with PROFICLOUD
Energy efficiency in building technology
An optimization of the supply processes
from building and energy management to the
integration of production systems poses new
challenges for building operators. Building and
supply technology systems need to be linked
intelligently to use the large variety of available
information intelligently.
Proficloud forms the technical basis for the
digitization of building technology and makes
Process optimization in the automotive industry
Recording extensive process data is part of
the quality certification in the automotive
industry. Assessing collected data is gaining in
importance on the road to digitization. Energy
data such as electric power consumption,
temperatures, pressures and flow rates is not
only important for assessing and optimizing
the process.
Efficiency gains in solar power
Exact tracking aligns the solar modules with
the sun so that sunlight always falls onto the
solar panels perpendicularly. This guarantees
optimum energy generation. Continually
monitoring the system status and the weather
data is of great importance in this regard.
Data analysis in water and wastewater treatment
Current operating data such as the fill
level, flow rate or power consumption of
decentralized infrastructures is analyzed in
Proficloud and made comparable with other
significant parameters. Thus, for example, a
water chamber can be operated efficiently and
needs-based with the help of weather data
it possible to standardize the data from
production, building infrastructure, energy
management and superordinate
MES/ERP systems. Supply processes in
buildings can be optimized with the help of a
needs-based assessment via charts or freely
defined dashboards.
This data can be newly combined with
modern analysis procedures and with
additional information from production,
thanks to the Proficloud. This makes possible
manufacturing and process optimization,
preemptive maintenance and ideally lighting
the workstations depending on the natural
light in the factory infrastructure.
Access your systems at any time and from
anywhere using the Proficloud. This is the
basis for safe, efficient, and reliable monitoring
of your tracking parks.
and additional operating data from other
structures. In addition, for example, operating
data for lifecycle management of multiple
shipping locks can be combined to use this
efficiently for the preemptive maintenance of
the locks.
