Retrofitting for Production Assets

Deliver data from any production asset to any cloud or on-premise within minutes

Increase process insight, close automation gaps and acquire data from any machine – even the oldest ones.

CloudRail is a fully managed solution to acquire data from industrial environments, preprocess it locally and send it to AWS-Cloud, Azure-Cloud or on-premise services, while providing the comfort of Plug&Play.

CloudRail works for greenfield as well as brownfield applications. It uses industry standards like OPC-UA to connect modern equipment, while old machines are retrofitted with secondary sensors. A database of over 12.000 sensor definitions is available. The combination with automated data normalization and device provisioning reduces the setup time for connecting a machine to the cloud from weeks to just hours.

Besides faster time to value for IIoT projects, CloudRail provides a cloud-based device management solution which allows enterprise customers to securely roll-out, manage, and update thousands of globally distributed edge devices.

Your Benefits

Simple and Fast Plug & Play Connectivity

  • Onboard industrial sensors with a few clicks

  • Scalability from 1 sensor to 10.000+
  • Remote configuration, monitoring and update as a service
  • All your devices in 1 central device management platform

Data from any Industry-Standard Sensor

  • Over 12.000 sensor-types (IO-Link)
  • 200+ manufacturers
  • Joint use of sensors from different brands
  • OPC-UA and Modbus RTU

Industry Grade Security

  • Separated networks for IT and OT
  • End-to-end encrypted connection
  • Direct data connections to your selected cloud provider
  • Your data, your decision: On premise only is possible

How it works

​​​​​​​Central Device Management – All CloudRail Edge Devices are managed through the CloudRail Device Management Cloud. Whether you delegate data streams to your cloud platforms, deploy and manage Edge Computing functionalities, monitor attached devices or install remote firmware updates — CloudRail offers all possibilities from a single service.

No matter if you want to realize a quick PoC or manage millions of reliable installations — it just works! CloudRail seamlessly scales from a first PoC to an IoT ecosystem with thousands of devices. As the solution is configured remotely, the physical installation of hardware can be done by maintenance teams without special training.

In brownfield environments CloudRail uses secondary sensor to retrofit existing industrial assets. Sensors are automatically detected and can be deployed as new devices to AWS services (IoT Core, IoT Sitewise, IoT Greengrass), Azure services (IoT Hub, IoT Central, IoT Edge) and on-premise installations with just a few clicks.
For greenfield environments, CloudRail uses OPC-UA to connect assets like modern PLCs, PTC Kepware or data integration layers to the cloud.

Integration into your factory landscape

Atos, as your business partner, takes care of the complete integration of the sensors or machines into your IT infrastructure. Atos provides experienced advice on the choice of direction, whether it should be on-premise or cloud-based, and advises you independently based on its solid experience in the manufacturing industry.

This includes advice on the choice of sensors, how to connect them and how to integrate them into your MES/ERP landscape. Furthermore, we support you with reliable first level support and up-to-date firmware updates for your gateways.

Additionally, Atos advises and integrates machine learning/artificial intelligence solutions on the edge for you, so that you are able to use your acquired data immediately and efficiently.

Sensor Data made available in less than 1 minute

 

To give you a better idea of what our solution is capable of and how easy it is to implement, we show you the entire retrofitting process in this video.
In this video, we introduce you to all the components you will need to retrofit your industrial plants. We also show you live how we generate data in the cloud in less than 1 minute.
