Siemens MindSphere

Rittal’s coolers and chillers interact seamlessly with Siemens MindSphere. This cloud-based, open Internet of Things (IoT) operating system enables customers to develop their own Industry 4.0 applications. The platform is scalable, and can capture and analyse huge volumes of data – paving the way for smart-factory processes in areas such as energy data management and resource optimization to name but two. In addition, it harnesses analytics to predict when repairs and maintenance are required. This cuts costs and raises system uptime compared to scheduled works conducted at predefined intervals. The system even calculates the fastest way to complete these tasks, which can be particularly advantageous at facilities with a large number of machines. Plus, because up-to-the-minute data on each unit is available on the IoT platform, service engineers know what replacement parts they will require for the job in hand, eliminating the need for multiple trips.
