Scaling from a single smart machine to an entire fleet shouldn’t require reinventing the wheel every time.
Whether you're an OEM aiming to differentiate your offerings and expand your market reach — or a factory striving for peak efficiency and streamlined operations across multiple sites — one question matters more than ever:
Can your machines be deployed efficiently, consistently, and securely at scale, unlocking actionable insights and long-term value?
With Things OS, the answer is a resounding yes. No custom integration. No costly system integrators. No patchwork solutions. Just a seamless path to scaling your smart machine deployments.
Here’s how we empower you to scale — effortlessly:
🔧 For OEMs: Ship Intelligent Solutions, Deploy Everywhere
Your machines aren’t just hardware; they're opportunities to provide added value and build lasting customer relationships.
With Things OS, you can transform every machine into a smart, connected asset ready for digital deployment anywhere in the world. Differentiate your offerings with intelligent dashboards, error monitoring, and secure remote maintenance, even unlocking the European market with our robust security standards.
Here’s how OEMs benefit from a rollout-ready approach:
Plug-and-Play Edge Connectivity: Every machine equipped with the standard Hilscher Edge Gateway instantly transmits data securely via LTE — eliminating the need for local IT intervention.
Automated Digital Twin Creation with Things Twin: The Things Twin is automatically generated upon connection, providing a consistent digital representation across all deployments, regardless of the customer or location.
Blueprint-Powered Dashboards and Monitoring: Blueprints allow you to define machine-type-specific configurations — including process thresholds, micro-models, and dashboards — that are automatically applied. This means every machine comes online fully equipped with tailored monitoring and visualization, without any manual setup.
One Platform, Multiple Revenue Streams: Empower your customers with remote maintenance, error monitoring, MES integration, and even AI-boosted productivity – all through a single platform. Generate recurring revenue through Things Apps and provide flexible service offerings including first- and second-level support.
🏭 For Factories: Add Machines, Multiply Efficiency
Whether you're expanding production, replicating successful lines, or upgrading equipment, the last thing you need is another complex integration project.
Things OS makes machine rollout effortless, allowing you to optimize production processes with data-driven insights, reduce machine downtime, minimize waste, and strategically deploy your personnel.
Here’s how Things OS helps you scale with confidence and simplicity:
Fast Deployment — Instant Visibility: New machines come online with their Things Twin ready to provide immediate full visibility, remote access, and complete data history from day one.
