Analyzing – data optimization and forecasting: AI-supported analyses enable forward-looking optimizations and sustainable, efficient sector coupling. > 10% of all production costs can be saved through more intelligent energy consumption ≥ 30% time savings through data-driven predictive maintenance ≥ 60% time savings during engineering and implementation 6 Phoenix Contact

Data-driven sustainability and security From the sensor to the cloud Efficient production through smart data processing The digital transformation opens up entirely new possibilities for industrial companies to optimize their systems and processes and to reduce their energy consumption sustainably. Thanks to comprehensive data transparency, inefficient processes can be identified and resources can be used in a more targeted way. More about data-driven sustainability Our scalable and open solutions ensure end-to-end data processing – from the sensor to the cloud. Thanks to flexible integration, media and consumption data can be acquired precisely, transmitted securely, and evaluated in a targeted manner. This enables seamless interaction between sensors, machines, and digital analysis platforms. A particular advantage is that digitalization takes place within an IEC 62443-certified automation system. This means that data can be processed securely and control and automation processes can be implemented efficiently, all in the open ecosystem of PLCnext Technology. 8 Phoenix Contact By using AI-supported analyses and predictive maintenance, deviations can be detected at an early stage. This reduces energy consumption, minimizes downtimes, and optimizes maintenance planning. Centralized monitoring, real-time analyses, and automated adjustments are possible at any time thanks to cross-location cloud networking. The industry of tomorrow is already becoming a reality today. By using these technologies in a targeted manner, there is no loss of performance in production processes.

Data-driven sustainability Metering The game changer for energy-intensive industries “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” The continuous acquisition of media and energy data is fundamental for effective sector coupling. Data transparency in real time means that inefficient processes can be identified at an early stage, potential energy savings can be detected, and processes can be optimized and interlinked. Modern sensors and intelligent measuring devices enable the precise control of resource consumption, especially in energy-intensive industries such as the steel, glass, pharmaceutical, and food industries. This not only helps to reduce costs, but also ensures that regulatory requirements are reliably met.
