An individually developed and implemented Fledge software solution for the automated reading and processing of machine data provides EVVA with an overview of its production.
Who is
EVVA?

founded in Vienna in 1919, EVVA is now one of the leading developers and manufacturers of mechanical and electronic access systems. The company researches, develops, produces and exports all over the world from its headquarters in Vienna. With countless patents and a sustainable corporate strategy, EVVA is looking to the future.

CANCOM Austria emerged from K-Businesscom (formerly Kapsch BusinessCom) at the beginning of 2024. The following case study was written before that and therefore the text was left in the original version.

Business Challenge

EVVA's CNC machine park is very heterogeneous. In future, it should be possible to retrieve, aggregate and forward machine data consistently.

Solution

The starting point was a comprehensive proof of concept based around the open source software Fledge. Data is collected, aggregated and forwarded via the FogLAMP Manage software, supported by an event engine. The data is visualized via an Influx database (Microsoft Azure Cloud), among other things. Fields of application: as an edge multiprotocol gateway in a PLC, in a Raspberry PI, as a data aggregator on an on-premise server, and as an edge multiprotocol gateway and process controller on a computer on a production line.

Services

  • Proof of concept Edge2Cloud
  • Installation and configuration of the Fledge software
  • Connection of Fledge to the machinery
  • Implementation of a heat map for the precise recording of CNC machine wear data
  • Presentation of FogLAMP Manage and Senseforce as future tools in the course of the further digitization process
  • Senseforce demo client
  • Documentation, final report

Technology

  • Fledge Software
  • Microsoft Azure
  • FOGLamp Manage
  • Senseforce

Value

  • Optimization of production processes
  • Optimal basis for further digitalization steps

The proof of concept was crucial for us. The building blocks proposed by KBC were a perfect fit for our digitalization strategy. Everything was thought out and done end-to-end by KBC, and we learned a lot for our company in this whole process. It's great when two partners come together strategically and technologically in this way.
