Open Automation Solutions for the Factory of the Future

The goal of the digital factory is providing and analyzing production data so operators in the mechanical engineering, automotive and process industries can base their decisions on facts and key performance indicators. Whether in manufacturing, food production or laboratory technology, WAGO helps them:

Maintain high levels of system availability and productivity
Produce in a way that conserves resources, thus achieving efficiency
React flexibly to market changes and customers’ needs and
Give their systems the best possible protection against intrusion despite open automation.

Professional Article: Containerized Device and Application Management

Smart Grid, Smart Building and Smart Factory – One goal is shared by all concepts: intelligent and digital networking, or IIoT (industrial IoT) for short. Learn how to network many devices and applications with WAGO without sacrificing security.

From the Sensor into the Cloud

Digitalization and the related concepts of IIoT, Industry 4.0, predictive maintenance and digital twins basically describe an essential process: Distributed field data is collected, processed and then made available to different users as needed in the IT network for further analysis.

Discover exciting digitalization projects and look over our customers’ shoulders as they explore the path to the world of intelligent networked production and realize their own factory of the future.

Solutions for the Digital Factory

Digital Plant Gateway

You can only optimize what you measure. This principle has guided WAGO’s design of the “Digital Plant Gateway” for infrastructure automation.

Energy Management

Power, heat, gas and water: All of these resources have to be measured constantly, and their distribution and consumption must be monitored. On the basis of DIN EN 50001, WAGO assesses the energy efficiency of various media flows in production companies and provides transparency about consumption behaviors and costs in order to uncover potential savings.

Module Type Package

Modular system engineering is one key to increased production flexibility. An overall system consists of multiple independent system modules, each of which represents one or more standardized production steps, allowing efficient system operation.

IoT and Edge Computing

Intelligent processes are requiring more and more computing power, placing corresponding demands on databases right in the field. With the Edge Controller and the Edge Computer, WAGO offers smart solutions to process applications directly on the machine and for relieving control loads. Collected data can be evaluated directly on the Edge Devices, displayed graphically, and made available to WAGO Cloud.

Microgrid Solutions

The energy transition poses great challenges for many customers. This is why more and more isolated solutions, known as microgrid systems, are being created. We’ll happily support you on your way to the microgrid – come and see us!
