Production digitization with toii®

Automation, digital networking and the associated optimizations unleash completely new efficiency potentials in industry. Now digitization has a name: toii^®.

toii^® allows a wide range of machines and production equipment from different manufacturers to communicate with each other, ranging from calipers to manual band saws to multi-stage production systems. With toii^®, Materials Services offers its customers a unique way into the age of industry 4.0.

Make your production more efficient - by digitizing with toii^®!

Optimize your machine utilization!
Automate entire production processes!
Bundle resources and optimize their use across the entire value chain!
Keep an eye on the status, progress and performance of production at all times and link production planning with actual production data!
Identify optimization potential in production processes for immediate implementation.
Avoid impending machine failures with predictive maintenance!

toii^® is an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform - successfully used in the thyssenkrupp Group - that was specially developed for the use and optimization of industrial production. With toii® you get a solution that is individually tailored to your needs. Our digitization experts work closely with you - End2End - from consulting through implementation to ongoing operation.

This is toii^®

Overview toii^® modules

The individual modules of toii^® take on many tasks in the digital factory, from data collection to machine control to visualization. In this way, versatile application possibilities can be handled.

Collects machine data - ranging from simple devices without programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or older machines with user-defined interfaces to modern, IoT-capable machines and robots.

Uses the principle of the Japanese Andon method: light signals indicate the status of the analog machine and convert it into digital data. The status of all machines can be viewed in a web browser and the data obtained can be used for initial analyses. A simple, effective and cost-effective way to get started.

Interprets and visualizes machine data collected via toii^®.Collect, toii^®.PDC or toii^®.Lights. The data is combined with external data and visualizes production performance in dashboards on a monitor. All relevant data can be viewed on any web browser.

The integration module for automation and control, connects all machines bidirectionally. The module automates processes and controls data flows in the factory. In this way, production-relevant data can be automatically and directly imported into the machine control system in real time without any delays.

Option for future big data analyses or smart data applications with unlimited expansion options. Predictive maintenance algorithms can predict machine maintenance requirements, optimize production efficiency with the help of edge analytics, develop individualized processes or generate new business models with the data obtained.

The mobile module of the platform. Data from permanently installed terminals or mobile devices is transferred to the platform via WLAN and can be further processed there. In this way, employees can also be integrated into the digital production chain.

With the toii^®.integrator module, external systems (3rd party systems) can be connected to the toii^® platform. These are mainly systems for production control (MES) or enterprise resource planning (ERP), but the connection of other data sources and systems is also possible. Both reading and writing communication is possible. The connection takes place on request. It is possible during operation and can be easily extended.
