Industrial digital solutions

From equipment automation and Industrial Internet of Things to Smart Factory operation

As a leading specialty-chemicals technology company, and market leader in advanced electroplating solutions, Atotech provides also Industrial Digital Solutions. This includes the Digital Factory Suite, a platform that combines a set of data-driven and Internet of Things (IOT) enabled applications, systems integration capabilities, and remote services. The Digital Factory Suite is an add-on product of Atotech’s state-of-the-art equipment-control software, known as the Visualization and Control System (“VCS”). The VCS, combined with the Digital Factory Suite, helps Atotech’s customers to unlock the benefits of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and accelerate transition to Smart Factory operation.

Atotech’s Digital Factory Suite platform connects to the on-site production equipment and continuously collects process and equipment data during manufacturing. Using advanced analytics, and platform applications such as supervising, and traceability, the collected data generates high-value insights into equipment and process conditions. This enables factory engineers to perform supervision, maintenance, quality inspections, or general traceability activities directly from their workplace. In addition, real-time condition monitoring and mobile alerts prevent defects and alarms from being overlooked, thus reducing the risk of unplanned downtime. All these functionalities significantly enhance the speed of customer support, especially when combined with remote services from Atotech. To assist customers quickly and sustainably, Atotech also offers remote services via augmented-reality technology, which is supported by a remote-access platform for fast and secure customer service and support.

20 years of industrial software experience

For more than 20 years now we are developing and delivering software solutions for our EQ solutions. These solutions are used by more than 130 customers across 20 countries.
100% Smart Factory enablement commitment

Our software solutions include the latest digital technologies such as IIoT, Digital Twin, or augmented reality. These enable the Smart Factory production operations of our equipment.
50% less downtime

IIoT and data driven solutions enable the optimization of maintenance tasks and predicting failures. This helps to significantly reduce EQ downtime and thereby increases production.
50% less trouble
shooting effort

By using IIoT to access centralized production data as well as monitoring analytics-based real-time conditions and assuring fast remote support services, the time to troubleshoot and fix an issue reduces dramatically.
100% Sustainability commitment

Our suite of remote service solutions include augmented reality-based support, using Smart Glasses, and a platform for a secure remote EQ access. With these, we provide the best and most sustainable support and eliminate the need to travel to the customer site to solve the issue.

Our solutions portfolio

Our digital solutions include equipment control software and the digital factory suite that help our customers to operate more efficiently, predict and schedule maintenance, eliminate unscheduled downtime, increase yield as well as monitor and automate production at the highest possible degree.

Visualisation and control system

Atotech equipment is managed and controlled through our state-of-the-art Visualization and Control System (VCS). The VCS supports all standard SCADA features, enhanced production management solutions, and rich vertical integration capabilities.

IIoT and data driven solutions

Using data and IIoT technologies, new levels of production and operation efficiency are enabled through:

Centralized manufacturing data storage
Suite of applications using advanced data model algorithms and machine learning technology
Reporting and traceability management tools
Remote and proactive support capabilities

Systems integration

Using standard industrial protocols such as SECS GEM, our equipment can be easily connected to the customer production management systems such as MES. Moreover, we provide the capability to integrate our Digital Factory Suite solutions with the other production site systems. This enables further levels of process automation, traceability or maintenance planning to be achieved.

Remote service

We provide a suite of remote support tools for fast reaction, secure access, and sustainable support services. These include:

Smart glasses using augmented reality technology for video and audio support
A remote service platform for fast and secure remote troubleshooting
