ATS Global ATS Bus

ATS Bus is a Manufacturing Service Bus that will empower the data within your manufacturing environment so that you’re ready for the Industrial Internet of Things, Big Data, Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0.

• Reduce Production Downtime: Gain valuable insights by monitoring KPIs across the plant that will allow you to improve manufacturing processes and reduce production downtime.
• Improve Your Business Continuity: Increases reliability and resilience in your data communications infrastructure, using edge gateways and devices, giving you increased confidence in your business continuity.
• Increase Data Visibility: ATS Bus integrates all of your production systems, providing complete exposure of production data, making it easier to troubleshoot product and process issues as well as perform track and trace tasks.

A Solution for Flexible Production at MTC
 
Secure communication between all of the systems and the ability to swap out machines and systems quickly, with as little disruption to the production line as possible, made ATS Bus the ideal solution.

Shopfloor IT Benefits

• Bridge the IT/OT Divide: Transmit and exchange data between the separate worlds of Information Technology and Operations Technology as if they’d never been apart.
• Retrofit Equipment Instead of Replacing it: Bring existing plant floor equipment into the Industrial Internet of Things through ATS Bus.
• Reduced Upgrade and Maintenance Cost: The number of data interfaces in the plant is greatly reduced as every system, piece of equipment and device has just one connection to ATS Bus. This in turn reduces the requirements for upgrades and maintenance.
• Faster IIoT Implementation: A simplified, standardised method of integration for every system, piece of equipment, device and sensor in the plant, as well as the ability to integrate existing equipment rather than replace it, means that the Industrial Internet of Things can be implemented faster than you think.

Features:

• Data Security: For secure environments ATS Bus uses secure connections. It can also check the “known good” against defined schemas ensuring, that from endpoint to endpoint, your data is in safe hands.
• Reliable and Resistant Network: ATS Bus comes with built-in resilience as it “buffers” data locally and utilizes handshakes to ensure every piece of data arrives at its destination safe and sound. This will give you peace of mind that network latency issues and power outages won’t mean you lose data.
• Cloud Connectivity: Extract and combine data directly from anywhere across the manufacturing enterprise and then push it to the Cloud to perform big data analytics.
• Data Contextualisation: ATS Bus adds value to collected data by combining it with the context it needs to become useful information that can be used by everyone.
