From shopfloor data to the intelligent factory
MEGLA and German Edge Cloud (GEC) work together to support manufacturing companies in using their production data and operating digital production solutions reliably in live production environments. The aim of the partnership is to make production data available in a structured way and to operate data‑based applications stably within ongoing production.
To achieve this, the partnership combines the ONCITE Digital Production System (DPS) from GEC with MEGLA’s integration and operational expertise.
Starting point: complex production environments and rising requirements
Production environments are often characterised by long‑established structures. Different machines, equipment, systems and interfaces coexist, while production data is distributed across multiple locations and can only be consolidated with significant effort.
At the same time, requirements for transparency and traceability are increasing: for example regarding energy and CO₂ transparency, traceability requirements or regulatory obligations. To meet these demands, production data must be made available in a structured form and integrated into existing systems, without disrupting ongoing operations.
Making production data available in a structured way: ONCITE Digital Production System (DPS)
With the ONCITE Digital Production System (DPS), German Edge Cloud provides a platform technology for digital production.
ONCITE DPS:
- consolidates production data from machines, equipment and existing systems
- structures and contextualises this data
- provides a unified data foundation for operational applications
Based on this, the following applications can be implemented and operated:
- traceability
- energy management
- data‑driven analytics
- industrial AI applications
Integration and operation in live production environments with MEGLA
At MEGLA, we integrate ONCITE DPS into existing production landscapes and ensuring that the solutions function reliably in your real‑world production operations.
Integration into OT and IT landscapes
Our responsibilities include:
- connecting your machines and equipment
- developing specific interfaces
- integrating into your existing systems, such as MES or control systems
Integration is carried out with full consideration of existing structures and without interfering with ongoing production.
Operation as a managed service
In addition, MEGLA operates the solutions as managed services. The objective is to ensure stable, secure and sustainable operation of digital production solutions within the production environment.
Added value for manufacturing companies
Manufacturing companies benefit from:
- production data that is available in a structured form
- integrated solutions without isolated systems
- applications that go beyond pilot projects
- digitally enabled production solutions operated in a stable manner
- clear responsibility across integration and operation
Especially for companies with complex production environments – such as those in the automotive industry and related sectors – this creates a robust foundation for scalable digital production.
Digitalisation that works on the shopfloor
Our collaboration with German Edge Cloud consistently focuses on your real production operations. The emphasis is not on demo or pilot solutions, but on digital production solutions that work reliably, securely and in an integrated manner within your plant.
