Big data with Ewon – the interface makes it possible
The initial situation
Up to now, the customer had used the Ewon Cosy in dry ice plants for remote maintenance. This VPN router supports communication via a specially specified connection point, the Talk2M server. As ASCO’s customers wants connectivity to a cloud — the Microsoft Azure Cloud — the Ewon Flexy is being considered as a successor.
Project requirements
- Alarm and condition monitoring of the dry ice machine via Microsoft Azure Cloud
- Maintaining the installation size and thus ensuring cost-saving product replacement.
- Saving the process data on the Microsoft Azure Cloud
- Ability to evaluate and analyse process flows
