Based on its recent analysis of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) market for discrete manufacturing, Frost & Sullivan recognizes MPDV Mikrolab GmbH (MPDV) with the 2016 Global Award for Customer Value Leadership. MPDV’s strategy of leveraging IIoT-based technology has resulted in a service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based HYDRA MES platform, which can house the rising number of IIoT service functionalities to support the shop floor. It is proving to be a popular choice across discrete industries across the world.
"MPDV, through its HYDRA platform, has been able to guide customers toward higher production efficiencies and enhanced energy management," noted Frost & Sullivan Research Manager
Muthuraman ‘Ram’ Ramasamy. "These, along with its ability to gather different types of data, analyze it in context of the situation, and drive action continue to drive market adoption."
An outstandingly innovative feature of MPDV’s solution is an edge gateway scenario, which provides an unmatched, continuous interface between the IT cloud and edge cloud. The gateway also acts as a barrier between them to protect the edge cloud from bandwidth- and hardware-related problems. It can host security features to regulate the data flow between the IT cloud and private cloud. Data acquisition functionalities of HYDRA can be installed on the edge gateway providing real-time communication.
