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, MKS’ 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 state-of-the-art equipment-control software, known as the Visualization and Control System (“VCS”). The VCS, combined with the Digital Factory Suite, helps our customers to unlock the benefits of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and accelerate transition to Smart Factory operation.
Our 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 MKS’ Atotech. To assist customers quickly and sustainably, we also offer 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 effortBy 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.
