Private Cloud for MindSphere now available

With MindSphere IoT available on the private cloud, industries have a powerful solution for meeting strict regulatory needs.

The IIoT is now a viable and strong option for customers working within strict security constraints.

Enhanced transparency into your MindSphere IoT usage data with the Usage Transparency Service

With new and improved Usage Transparency for operator apps, application operators and application customers have access to aggregated usage data. In other words, this data can be vital to billing operation efficiency. Aggregated usage data consists of one aggregated record for a month and is provided by both a GET aggregated API of Usage Transparency and through the Usage Transparency app as a downloadable data file.

Expand connectivity with updated firmware for MindConnect Software Agent

Take advantage of a more flexible connectivity solution for your IIoT solutions. For example, MindConnect Software Agent is now capable of connecting to a wider range of devices such as:

  • S7Plus
  • Sinumerik PL
  • MT Connect
  • IEC 61850
  • Fanuc Focas

Simplified configuration of these assets can be done via the already existing MindConnect Asset Manager plugin. In addition, MindConnect Software Agent can be used as an Edge Device for MindConnect Edge Analytics.

Remotely detect, analyze and repair field issues with Asset Health & Service Hub

The newly released Asset Health & Service Hub solution enables users to remotely and efficiently detect, analyze, repair and track issues in the field before they harm machines or disrupt operations. A single cockpit allows you to integrate key capabilities of MindConnect Edge Analytics and Integrated Remote Service to efficiently solve service issues.

A rich set of features and capabilities make remote asset health monitoring possible:

Manage tickets for open alarms and detected anomalies
