Rittal and Siemens Transmission of Data into the Cloud
Rittal ’ s new Blue e + cooling units and chillers consume an average of 70 per cent less power than their conventional counterparts . Specifically , they can transmit key data to a smartphone quickly and simply via a NFC ( near field communication ) connection . The RiDiag III parameterisation and diagnostics software uses a USB interface or a network to support efficient system operation , deliver rapid support for maintenance and repairs , and in-depth diagnostics .
Rittal ’ s coolers and chillers interact seamlessly with Siemens MindSphere . This cloud based , open Internet of Things ( IoT ) operating system enables customers to develop their own Industry 4.0 applications . The platform is scalable , and can capture and analyse huge volumes of data .
In addition , it harnesses analytics to predict when repairs and maintenance are required . This cuts costs and raises system uptime , compared to scheduled works conducted at predefined intervals . The system calculates the fastest way to complete these tasks , which can be particularly advantageous at facilities with a large number of machines . Plus , because up-to-the-minute data on each unit is available on the IoT platform , service engineers know what replacement parts they will require for the job in hand , eliminating the need for multiple trips .
