Three's a charm – this also holds true when it comes to digitizing discrete production for SMEs in the manufacturing sector. That’s why the three of us have joined forces to offer our customers an integrated solution from a single source.
With WAGO edge devices, we provide powerful hardware for production. With its Manufacturing Integration Platform – MIP for short – MPDV Mikrolab GmbH provides an open integration platform to bring the edge computer to life and equip it for production operations. Thus the hardware and software work together – but how does this tailored solution fit into your production environment? That’s where our IoT partner MEGLA comes in, providing the interfaces between the MIP and the existing machines to integrate the overall system, made up of the WAGO edge device and the MPDV MIP, into production operations. What this means in detail is that, while the data from the machines is fed into the MIP software, the customer’s existing software systems (e.g. ERP, staff time tracking etc.) are also integrated at the same time. As a result, there are no longer any data islands; instead, all systems (the existing machines and software systems) are integrated into a holistic solution based on the WAGO hardware and MIP software by MEGLA. This all-in-one solution collects, transmits, stores and refines data across all systems to improve processes and increase productivity.
