Digitalize industrial business processes across the asset lifecycle

The era for experiments in Industry 4.0 is over. Isolated, high-maintenance solutions do not provide a competitive edge for your company. To succeed in a dynamic, volatile business world, you need a holistic process architecture that maximizes your digital capabilities and operational excellence. With CONTACT Elements for IoT, you achieve EBIT-relevant effects through the end-to-end automation of business processes across the entire lifecycle of industrial assets. With the automation framework based on our modular Elements platform, you digitalize and scale your operations and establish digital twins of your assets. This allows you to create a data fabric that integrates machine and process data into knowledge contexts – for the analysis, control, and optimization of your business processes. At the same time, you pave the way for the use of analytics and AI applications.

Automate value creation with data-driven processes Elements for IoT enables you to automate, accelerate, and standardize business processes involving industrial assets. Operational data allows you to efficiently control value-adding activities, eliminating delays from manual intermediate steps or system breaks. This increases your competitiveness through improved responsiveness, increased throughput, and savings in indirect processes. Our software also provides a complete overview of your value streams, which supports in-depth analysis, benchmarks, and the standardization of methods and workflows. Your management benefits from meaningful KPIs and standardized reporting.

Increase productivity with domain apps Domain apps from the modular Elements system accelerate the integration of the software in your day-to-day business and increase its benefits. For example, you can use them to implement the ‘Smart Factory’ or ‘Smart Services’ in after-sales, manage control processes in production (MES/MOM) as well as maintenance and servicing activities (EAM). For specific requirements, microservices are available, including a energy management system or asset administration shell (AAS) information for the exchange in the supply chain.
