Who we are
Your digitalization journey with thyssenkrupp Materials IoT and toii®
Production companies must digitalize to remain competitive. But the required level of digital transformation is individual. Factory operators are faced with questions such as "Where is the greatest potential for the business?", "How do rapid digitization successes result?", "What can be implemented and how - and by whom?" and much more. Digitization is not a one-off project but a continuous process. We at thyssenkrupp Materials IoT accompany you on your way to Industry 4.0 - from consulting to implementation to ongoing support.
As thyssenkrupp's digitization service provider, we combine over 15 years of deep expertise in software product development with more than 200 years of manufacturing experience. With our modular IIoT platform toii® we enable demand-driven and step-by-step digital transformation - with only minimal intervention in ongoing production processes. The software solution for your shop floor, for example, provides you with higher productivity, more efficiency and transparency, as well as leaner processes and lower costs. But what exactly does this journey into the digital future look like?
Definition of digitization goals and status-quo analysis
Over all, there is an individual strategy based on your needs and goals. This sets the future direction.
To do this, the experts from thyssenkrupp Materials IoT first define your digitization goals with you. To make the possibilities and effects tangible, they use references and use cases to show you what is possible and then discuss your individual requirements and challenges. This is followed by a status quo analysis, i.e. an inventory, and a view of the conditions on site. These are the foundations for specifying the desired application and its characteristics in detail. This overall picture enables an individual cost estimate to be made.
Field Engineers as a link between development and application
Many manufacturing companies are faced with the challenge of having to build up specialist knowledge on digitalization - and this in times of a shortage of skilled workers. With thyssenkrupp Materials IoT you don't need to do this, as we take the maximum burden off you and provide know-how. We provide you with field engineers who accompany you throughout the entire process and are available for technical support. Our Field Engineers are the link between the development and application area. They implement toii® on the shop floor and are your contact persons and solution finders.
In the first step, the Field Engineers perform the analysis and recording of your essential production processes in close cooperation with you in order to assess the technical prerequisite for the use of the IIoT platform toii® and the implementation effort as part of the quotation process. In addition, they accompany and coordinate the rollout of the IIoT platform until go-live. But even after that, they are available as a contact person to support you with ongoing optimizations and implement regular updates.
Software engineers as experts for the right interfaces
Software engineers as experts for the right interfaces
Our software engineers take care of the individual customizations and professional implementation of the IIoT platform toii® in the various production environments. These experts tailor toii® for your required application. The core competence here is in the field of interface development. In addition, our specialists ensure that the software is always up to date and is always being further developed in accordance with the latest technical requirements. This ensures robustness and future security.
The software engineers at thyssenkrupp Materials IoT design, develop, optimize, test and document software systems. In doing so, both the technologies used and the type of applications are wide-ranging. The Software Engineers team is both a solution finder and a reliable service partner for you.
From the shop floor to the smart factory - with the right partner network
The broader the range of solutions, the more comprehensive the transformation to the smart factory can be: That's why we work closely with specialized partners to combine domain knowledge - always with the goal of putting together the best solution for the customer. Through an extensive network of interdisciplinary experts, the strengths from areas such as lean management, advanced data analytics or artificial intelligence flow together. toii® can be easily docked onto other solutions and applications. This brings together everything that leads to success for a smart factory in terms of networking, digitization and lean thinking.
