relayr and IFM announce a strategic partnership focused on building a world-class Smart Manufacturing solution to digitally connect industrial assets across the world, for condition monitoring and diagnosis.
Berlin, Germany / Boston, MA – July 11, 2017
relayr and IFM – a sensor industry powerhouse – share a vision for growing the digitization of the manufacturing sector and providing customers with the easiest path to transformation. We are committed to developing joint solutions that leverage IFM’s almost 50-years of enterprise experience as one of the largest and fastest-growing sensor manufacturers in the world, with relayr’s expertise in data gathering and analytics to deliver business process innovation for industrial companies.
Building on the respective strengths of the two partners, relayr and IFM plan to focus their efforts on Condition Monitoring – enabling plant owners, operators and makers to release data silos in their equipment, as an essential building block towards guaranteeing their business outcomes. More specifically, IFM and relayr are enabling our customer’s current IT industrial environment to:
- Analyse and alarm users when storage or product condition is below limits
- Perform at a higher level, increasing quality of the product output
- Achieve higher quality due to the predictive nature of IoT
- Have positive impact on supply chain: facilitating a smoother flow of raw material to the manufacturing floor
- Lower production and maintenance costs.
relayr’s Smart Manufacturing Solution collects, manages, and analyzes sensor data with IFM’s IO-Link – which essentially provides with a standardized and field-bus independent interface for automation, and point-to-point connections without complex addressing.
“IFM has become a market leader in sensor manufacturing, and together we are co-developing solutions that provide our customers with new insights that simply were not possible before. This partnership signals a momentous and exciting advancement not only for relayr as a company, but for the Industrial IoT ecosystem as a whole.” Josef Brunner, CEO relayr
