Digital operations
If energy transition is to succeed, manufacturing processes need to become more efficient. Continuous digitalisation and complete transparency are the key to identifying synergies and boosting efficiency. Rittal, Eplan, Cideon and German Edge Cloud collectively offer joined-up solutions to meet all requirements in terms of scalable and economical production on the way to a smart factory.
Sustainability is a key concern for companies in all industry sectors – and identification of the carbon footprint for each product manufactured is one aspect of the solution. With regard to energy monitoring, by intelligently linking operational technologies with the IT infrastructure, we can individually identify the carbon footprint of each data centre and even for each AX/KX enclosure. Your benefits: Greater transparency and more sustainability across the entire IT and OT infrastructure.
With the Rittal ePOCKET digital wiring plan pocket, your equipment and system documentation is always up-to-date.

The ONCITE Digital Production System (DPS) is the key for the implementation of a smart factory. The digitalisation and technology platform, along with associated industrial applications, is based on the principles of Industry 4.0 and points the way for future developments. Your benefits: Digitalisation and networking, enhanced transparency and efficiency, energy savings, improved quality and much more besides. ONCITE DPS is furthermore an important interface in the context of secure digital ecosystems such as Catena-X.
When it comes to optimising your energy use, the first thing to do is make it more transparent: Only those who know their consumption can optimise it and operate downstream energy management. With an energy monitoring tool based on the ONCITE Digital Production System (DPS), German Edge Cloud boosts transparency by collecting and recording energy data for in-depth analyses and evaluation. Correlations between material flows and consumption (e.g. electricity), for example, enable you to identify and take advantage of any energy saving potential.
German Edge Cloud is a member of the Catena-X network, which supports companies in their efforts to find solutions to key challenges facing the automotive industry, for example traceability, circular economy and dismantling. To facilitate fast, secure data exchange with other Catena-X participants, German Edge Cloud developed the ONCITE DPS CX Gateway based on open source components. The ONCITE DPS is furthermore the first Catena-X-certified solution. Learn more about how you can become part of this open and collaborative ecosystem and benefit from current use cases – for greater resource utilisation, innovation capability and new business potential.
With the ONCITE Virtual Factory and a digital twin as the key technology, you are ready to take a decisive and meaningful step towards implementation of the industrial metaverse. The solution bridges the gap between the real and virtual worlds. By way of a 3D visualisation of your real factory, you get clear insights into all operational processes and a significantly more detailed overview of your production data. Through integrated data management, real production data can be viewed and evaluated in near real-time via a 3D factory model (assets, processes, interactions). In this way, any problems or issues can be detected and solved quickly.
Without a track-and-trace system you have no sound proof of quality and no traceability. The ONCITE Digital Production System is an ideal solution for secure data exchange and supply chain traceability. The Schuler simulator (Schuler Digital Suite) with track-and-trace combines measurement data stored in the cloud via ONCITE DPS with dynamic data from the Schuler cloud. All relevant data could, for example, be processed for use in Catena-X. Energy consumption data is also collected in order to identify savings potential.
