The challenge
Development of Industry 4.0 solutions for the leading manufacturer of packaging systems.
The scenario
Digital connectivity with IIoT
Whether it is food, industrial or medical products: thanks to Multivac, there is the right packaging for almost every product. With its packaging systems, which the company sells to other businesses, Multivactis constantly setting new standards in terms of quality and efficiency, as well as sustainability.
In order to also stay ahead in terms of digital connectivity and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Multivac has now engaged the experts from Concept Reply to develop smart services that simplify the control and monitoring of the machines.
The solution
A cloud-based platform
At the heart of Concept Reply's new solution is a cloud-based IIoT platform that acts as a central monitoring and management instance. All data from the machines is processed there. Multivac customers can conveniently view this data via freely configurable dashboards and optimally monitor their systems thanks to a large number of sensors and control them using smart service and actuators. In addition, the open ecosystem enables the connection of different machines and thus ensures the secure transport of data along the entire value chain.

How we achieved this
The technology behind it
All of this is made possible by an Azure-based microfrontend architecture using modern web technologies such as Vue3 and Nest Js. CI/CD ensures that the quality of the code used is constantly monitored and improved. The clever combination of cloud and edge computing reduces the latency of data acquisition, sensor technology and control at the same time.
The advantages
Safe, fast and advanced
Thanks to the collaboration with Concept Reply, Multivac customers benefit from a wide range of advantages:
Real-time data processing
The IIoT platform facilitates the monitoring of systems and enables quick adjustments thanks to up-to-date real-time data.
Protection against cyber attacks
The experts at Concept Reply have integrated special security measures to reliably protect all data from cyber attacks.
Optimized processes
In order to realize optimal processes, all systems that are integrated into the system communicate via the edge and exchange information independently.
