IT/OT Integration - Building the System Landscape

In episode 173, Madeleine Mickeleit talks with KSG and Schaeffler Digital Solutions about IT/OT integration in PCB manufacturing. The focus is on implementing the IIoT platform autinityDAP Starter to intelligently network ERP systems, PLCs, and a heterogeneous machine park. The goal is a scalable system landscape that enables data acquisition, recipe management, and feedback to machine controls – all the way to automated parameterization via proprietary KSG apps on the edge device. Thanks to over 50 connectors for protocols like OPC UA, MQTT, and Profinet, as well as the use of open-source tools (Node-RED, Grafana, PostgreSQL), a flexible data architecture is created. Use cases range from line speed in the etching bath to automatic error prevention due to incorrect recipes, to OEE calculation. This use case is a prime example of data-driven manufacturing in SMEs, including batch size 1 and energy monitoring via app.
