Industrial IoT turns production data into added value
Schedule a ConsultationTurning production data into competitive advantages
Many companies have already taken the step of networking their production with IT systems. The next step leads to the cloud: here, production data is analyzed in a scalable manner, globally available and economically usable.
Industrial IoT combines OT, IT and the cloud to create an end-to-end data landscape - for greater transparency, efficiency, innovation and growth in production.
Transparency
Industrial IoT creates a consistent view of processes, systems and production data across all levels.
Efficiency
Real-time data, AI analyses and cloud solutions enable rapid optimization and higher system availability.
Innovation
Production data is becoming a strategic asset - the basis for new digital services and data-driven business models.
Growth
Cloud-based scalability, global availability and lower IT costs create scope for expansion and new value creation.
Challenges on the way to a scalable IIoT architecture
OPC UA is now the standard for vertical and horizontal integration in industrial manufacturing. Nevertheless, many architectures are still tied to rigid structures. Access to real-time data usually only works within individual levels - data silos are created instead of making information usable in a network.
Many companies have already introduced OPC UA, but can only use it effectively locally. End-to-end, cross-location integration remains complex and costly. At the same time, there is a growing need for live dashboards, global key figures and scalable, modular IIoT solutions.
Limits of today's IIoT architectures
- Proprietary systems and heterogeneous data sources make standardized data integration difficult
- Lack of consistency across locations prevents central transparency
- Local systems cause high integration and maintenance costs
- Limited computing power on site limits AI analyses and scaling
Why the cloud is the next step
- Cloud platforms combine production, ERP and quality data in a central data model
- AI and machine learning enable predictive maintenance, energy optimization and quality analyses
- Global data availability creates transparency and promotes cross-location collaboration
- API-first architectures and modular services increase agility and the speed of innovation
- Modern security and monitoring functions ensure stability and control

Our technological expertise -
Your competitive advantage
We go beyond the automation pyramid and create a cloud-centric platform architecture that networks, orchestrates and harnesses data company-wide. This is an open, flexible IIoT architecture that connects factories, optimizes processes and enables new business models.
We connect your production to the cloud and make your data available across systems and locations.
This includes value-added services such as:
- Device management and digital twins
- Administration shell (AAS) and data rooms
- Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
- Update management and twin builder
- Security, connectivity and integration into existing IT systems
Tailor-made solutions and safe operation
doubleSlash stands for solutions that work where standard platforms reach their limits. Many companies are faced with the challenge that standard products only fulfill their individual requirements with a great deal of effort.
Our accelerator modules close the gap between rigid product solutions and complex individual development by combining proven platform components with targeted individualization.
- No rigid product boundaries
- High cost-effectiveness and customizability
- Expertise in Docker, API architectures, OPC UA, VPN, Digital Twin
- Cloud integration with AI for real added value
We bring production data into the cloud and link it with AI to bridge the gap between machine data and specialist use cases.
Technological basis:
AWS | Microsoft Azure | PTC ThingWorx | bill-X ActiveDB | API-first architectures

End-to-end IIoT systems
As a system integrator, doubleSlash accompanies companies along the entire path to networked production - from the sensor to the cloud. We connect machines, data and systems to create a secure, scalable IIoT architecture.
- Devices:
We digitize machines and gateways with intelligent edge software. Data is processed, controlled and pre-filtered locally before it flows into the cloud. - Security:
Our solutions are protected from end to end - with encryption, access controls and automated certificate management. GDPR-compliant and prepared for the Cyber Resilience Act.
- Backend & Cloud:
We analyse, prioritize and manage device data with sophisticated lifecycle management, including protocol translation, data buffering and anomaly detection. - Integration:
We integrate IIoT data seamlessly into ERP, CRM or BI systems via open interfaces (APIs) and standardized protocols.
