Smart & Secure Industrial Connectivity

Wireless connectivity for plants is one step towards all the benefits in industrial digitalisation. It can make you become more effective than the competitors, using the best part in new tech. It’s about using digital solutions for the purpose of increasing productivity and lowering cost.

For sufficient wireless connections and increased effectivity, usage and availability, we provide you with a pre-study that covers use case analysis and results in a document, including a recommended solution, a suggested stepwise plan for implementation and high level cost estimation.

We look at how to combine existing OTE systems and current solutions, with future improvements and new effective technology. The pre-study is based on existing and future use cases. It includes radio design and analysis of which wireless solutions and security level suits your future needs.

Tasks included in the pre-study:

• Radio design and Transformation
• Network Design and Architecture
• Security Audits and more

When aiming for improving your production, new technology is often in scope. Our project management service covers all areas, such as automation, data collection, system integrations, IT/OT-security and visibility reporting.

Going from mass production to mass customisation requires more flexible plants, where you can test, add features and scale production up or down. Also, the connection between OT (Production/MES) and IT (ERP) requires broad competence base in security.

Our project management service covers all areas, such as automation, data collection, system integrations, IT/OT-security and visibility reporting. We use the system engineering approach, proved to be efficient in complex assignments, and the combination between skilled experts in OTE systems, IT systems and automation and structured Management services helps reaching targets in time, budget and resources. We have all competences inhouse.

Our main deliverables are:

• Project plan including targets
• Project Budget
• Stakeholder analysis
• Requirement specification
• Communication plan

We help you achieve a smooth, cost-effective transition to industrial digitalisation, where you can run assets to the maximum capacity as well as reduce cost for maintenance and unplanned shutdowns.

When digitalising a factory, old legacy systems usually need to be combined with new smart solutions. However, the cost for replacing all utilities, systems and software at the same time can be high. If implementation instead is made step by step, the cost and the risk level can be more attractive. New technology is released in roadmaps from suppliers, and Asset Management helps you to plan what steps to take, when and how.

Very few plants start from scratch, so let us help you get the best from 5G by combining new utilities, old utilities, new software and old software.

Services included in utility mapping are:

• Pre study
• Road map and change management
• Hardware – combining new and old
• Software – combining new and old
• Proof of concept

Implementing industrial digitalisation often includes new partners, new competitors and in some cases new markets. There are often new business models and new ways of working included, which can be time consuming. Here, we can be your partner to discuss with – we cover all markets with experts in a variety of areas.

One part in really getting industrial solutions work effective, is retrieving the advantages from your eco system. We help you get best out of yours and our eco systems through project management, pulse meetings and communication plans.

We provide:

• Smooth cost effective transition to industrial digitalisation.
• Coordinated activities with main players.
• New Business models investigated and increased knowledge.
• Continuous improvement to reduce OPEX

AGV:s, automated guided vehicles, the portable robots that can use radio signals for navigation, are often used in industrial applications to transport heavy materials around a large industrial buildings. One of the challenges are the loss of coverage when the vehicle goes from indoor Wi-Fi to outdoor Wi-Fi. In addition, large amount of Wi-fi antennas can create an administrative burden.

For increased effectivity, we help you run the factory trucks to the maximum capacity, focus on continuous operation as well as a coordinated workforce to ensure minimal disruption.

For improved logistics our approach is to:

• Investigate existing Wi-Fi solution, to optimise it.
• Define the same use case with a future safe 5G solution or other cellular solution.
• Radio design and system integration.
• Security audit of the solution.
• Implementation and go-live.
