The Internet of Things (IoT) brings countless disruptive opportunities to the Enterprise. Any company can exploit IoT capabilities to optimize the use of resources, business processes, product quality. Moreover, Enterprises can then create innovative business models and competitive ‘pay per use’ or hybrid models for their industrial products, and additional services developed using ‘things information’. By creating its own Internet of Things Enterprises can get full and continuous information from devices, machines and systems, enable control and interactions, and use these features in new or existing business applications. This is why in Alleantia they talk about the Internet Of Own Things (IOOT), that every company must implement for supporting its specific business.

The purpose of Industry 4.0 is to make manufacturing more flexible, efficient and sustainable through communication and intelligence, thus increasing the competitiveness of German industry. One major component of this approach is control technology, which is still far from reaching its full potential. Improved communication methodologies and the rising convergence of information and automation technologies will deliver significant progress – something Beckhoff has always focused on with its PC-based control technology and fieldbus communication. Beckhoff provides the foundational technologies and tools needed today to implement Industrie 4.0 concepts and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, all via PC-based control. TwinCAT engineering and control software packages are available for the creation of applications such as Big Data, pattern recognition as well as condition or power monitoring, in addition to traditional control tasks – which can sustainably increase production and engineering efficiency as a result.

Using proprietary technology and commercially available sensors, Aptomar merges remotely monitored sensor data into a single display and distributes it to create a real-time common operating picture. Experienced operators interpret the combined sensor data and intervene when necessary to alert and support the offshore operator in case of an incident. In 2014– as a response to numerous oil companies who want the industry to take a broader, more systematic approach to field monitoring – Aptomar established a new maritime control center in Trondheim, Norway. The center is called Aptomarin. Aptomarin combines 24/7 competence and monitoring capacity, with robust detection and an efficient and controlled emergency response management. Aptomarin consists of master mariners and professionals with extensive maritime and nautical competence.
