INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS
Today’s industrial environments are evolving: plants, machines and smart devices are more and more connected each other and with cloud-based services. This process leads to the «Industrial Internet of Things» definition.
In order to ensure a safe and highly extensible transition to Industry 4.0 every company needs to keep in count each of these aspects:
-
Ensure data communication availability and bandwidth
-
Manage databases and their configuration
-
Use proper monitoring and maintenance technologies for the distributed systems
-
Manage information security and privacy
-
Adopt automatic deployment for software/firmware updates and security patches
-
Integrate logging solutions
Microtecna is able to manage all of these aspects and help you create the best IIoT environment for your society.

This platform is entirely integrated with production machines via fieldbuses, sensors (on old machines) and acquisition nodes in order to automatically perform process data acquisitions. CNC programs can be easily organized using the system as a repository and can be automatically dispatched to single machines. The system offers a web-based user interface. The platform stores all the data in hi-performance databases and offers extended process control and traceability features, condition monitoring, statistical and quality analysis. This platform can be fully integrated with existing ERP/MES applications.
Warehouse Picking Collaborative System
Technologies: WINDOWS, IPC, PLC, RDBMS, FIELDBUS, AGV
Keywords: PICKING, TRACEABILITY, PROCESS CONTROL, MES INTEGRATION, PDA
A smart integrated solution to manage the part-picking process in order to supply multiple production lines.
Given the extreme differences between parts sizes, this operation is performed by human workers. The system automatically sinchronize the joblists from MES and creates an optimized picking schedule for each distributed warehouse and connected operator. Operators, guided by proper blinking lights and screens, pick-up the required parts and place them inside proper containers (with light indicators and touch-screens) on AGVs. In the end the vehicles manage the parts deployment to the production lines and the system notifies the processed data to MES.
Automatic Screw Tightening System
Technologies: WINDOWS, IPC, PLC, RDBMS, FIELDBUS, SENSOR, ACTUATOR
Keywords: SCREWING, QUALITY, TRACEABILITY, PROCESS CONTROL, MES INTEGRATION, PDA
A smart integrated solution to manage the screwing process on production lines.
Once the tasks are loaded from the MES (tailored by Microtecna), an hybrid system (PLC/IPC) guides operators using a Poka-Yoke approach on multiple touch-screens. The system controls external screwing devices in real-time and stores all the data on an internal database. Once each operation is finished all the data are synchronized with MES to guarantee fully traceability of the screwing process.
Process & Energy Monitoring Platform
Technologies: DCS, PLC, RDBMS, LINUX, SENSORS, FIELDBUS
Keywords: PRODUCTION, QUALITY, CONDITION MONITORING, PDA, PROCESS CONTROL, ENERGY
Integrated production and energy monitoring system tailored to optimize consumptions and reduce product-related costs.
This solution gathers large amounts of data from third-party machines and PLCs and automatically correlates them in order to calculate KPIs that provide critical informations for optimizing production recipes in real-time and perform condition monitoring on single machines.
