Without an environment that keeps machine data available and analysable over time, every prediction model stays a prototype.
Predictive analytics is the method; predictive maintenance is its best-known application in manufacturing.
Machine data is time series data: many small values, high write rates, long history. A suitable database on ccloud³ handles write load and analysis at the same time.
Machine and production data reveal utilisation, processes and capacity. It stays within German jurisdiction, with no transfer to third countries.
Training needs GPUs, day-to-day operation does not. GPU and CPU capacity scale separately – you pay for the GPU only during training phases.
Not every plant speaks MQTT. Named contacts with manufacturing experience advise on the path from the controller to the cloud.
The path runs through four stages, and most projects fail at the second. Condition monitoring – observing actual values – is the sensible intermediate step: it produces the data basis on which a prediction model can be trained at all. centron supplies the right building block for each stage: ccloud³ for capture, S3 Object Storage for history and Cloud GPU for training.
Clinics and medical institutions typically implement IT security with these modules – combinable and extensible at any time.
Predictive maintenance needs an environment that ingests machine data continuously, stores it permanently and keeps it analysable. The core building blocks are ccloud³ Virtual Machines from 3,12 € per month for the time series database, complemented by S3 Object Storage for history and Cloud GPU from 92,59 € per month for model training. The infrastructure runs in our own German data centres, certified to ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz (BSI certificate BSI-IGZ-0773) and with an unqualified BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation.
