Manufacturing: Production data use with confidence

Machine data, MES integrations and production analyses – infrastructure that protects trade secrets and prevents downtime.

Why centron

Industry 4.0 on a solid foundation

Production data constitutes both trade secrets and process knowledge – its processing requires autonomy and availability.

Machines securely connected

Plants connect to VPC-isolated environments via VPN – OPC UA and MQTT data streams remain isolated from the internet.

Process data archived

Time-series databases on NVMe volumes and S3 archives make years’ worth of machine data analysable.

Stagnation prevented

cProtect protects production-critical systems with 15-minute replication – a ransomware attack won’t bring the plant to a standstill.

Secrets protected

Manufacturing expertise remains within German, certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres – with no access from third countries.

From the shop floor to analysis

The data flow in your production process

Edge gateways at the factory send encrypted data to the VPC; stream processing normalises the data; dashboards display OEE and anomalies in real time. Hybrid set-ups connect existing systems directly via colocation.

In a nutshell

Which cloud infrastructure is best suited to manufacturing?

Cloud for manufacturing: securely operate production data, MES and Industry 4.0 applications – with complete confidence in German data centres. The core component is Kubernetes from €29.99 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented as required by Volumes and cProtect. All data remains in Germany: our own data centres in Hallstadt near Bamberg, certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and BSI C5:2020 Type 1. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we integrate existing systems at the plant?

Yes – plants and edge gateways connect securely to your VPC via a VPN; existing servers can optionally be moved to our data centre via colocation and connected directly to the cloud. This creates a hybrid architecture without any disruption.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: Kubernetes from €29.99 per month, volumes from €0.05 per GB per month and cProtect from €0.03 per month. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes. In manufacturing, as well as personal data, the focus is primarily on machine and production data, from which process knowledge can be derived. At centron, this data remains in our own German data centres, with no access by a foreign parent company. The data centres are certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz, with an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud. Further details can be found in the Trust Centre.
