The global Industrial IoT platform market is anticipated to reach USD 13.82 billion by 2023. The need for predictive & proactive maintenance and centralized monitoring, integrating IT & OT, and the rise in the adoption of next-generation technologies are expected to fuel this market growth.
The device management platform is expected to account for the largest share, in the IIoT platform market. Also, with the deployment of IoT ecosystems, a large number of devices are being connected to powerful gateways that connect the devices from the server. Therefore, to make the manufacturing process more efficient, these ecosystems need a single platform that manages information and applications across various devices.
This is where Hubli headquartered LinkEZ Technologies comes into the picture. LinkEZ offers MATS White Box - a powerful Industrial IoT platform, which enables manufacturers to completely control the production process with intelligent traceability and auditability. "The MATS IIoT Platform is core to building a network of interconnected devices, processes, and people, all working towards making the manufacturing process smart and efficient," says Divyesh Kumar Shah, Director, LinkEZ Technologies. Therefore, LinkEZ, by leveraging the power of connected manufacturing has built the MATS Engine as the perfect industry 4.0 solution, which plays a key role in interconnecting 4 Ms - Man, Material, Machine, and Method, MATS facilitates
tracking raw material inventories and finished goods, PPC, Quality Checks, and Line monitoring processes.
Improving manufacturing efficiency
Incepted in 2013, LinkEZ started as a prototyping lab for Industrial IoT devices. With over three years of intense study and research in more than 40 industries across domains, LinkEZ’ focus has been to significantly improve manufacturing efficiency and effectiveness through interconnected devices and interconnected part manufacturers.
An incredible set of Industry 4.0 solutions
LinkEZ offers an incredible set of industry 4.0 solutions from material traceability to managing the production process, quality, and predictive maintenance. The company’s product portfolio includes proven products such as the Digital warehouse, Digital workflows, Digital QMS, Floor BI, Floor DAT.A and Plant EM.
What is unique about LinkEZ is that it doesn’t ask clients to replace their old machines, rather it works around them by providing products and solutions that require minimal disruption to the existing manufacturing process
Customized solutions
LinkEZ understands that every part being manufactured is different and each manufacturer has different process requirements. Therefore, the company has built this flexible platform to deliver tailor-made solutions to clients. Not just that, LinkEZ also ensures that the floor personnel is well-trained to maximize the utilization.
PLC integration capability
What is unique about LinkEZ is that it doesn’t ask clients to replace their old machines, rather it works around them by providing products and solutions that require minimal disruption to the existing manufacturing process. MATS’ flexible architecture makes it easy to interface with the PLCs of new machines as well as old machines, providing the true power of digitization.
In cases where there is a need for additional data from the machines, LinkEZ studies and deploys sensors to transmit the required data. If the machines do not have PLC integration capability, the company deploys PLCs to bring the machine into the connection network. Furthermore, the REST APIs help with integrating with other applications such as ERPs.
The company serves clients from various industries such as Automotive, SMEs & Energy, Aerospace & Ship Building, and Defense & Public sector. Currently, the company is in the process of expanding its customer base and developing an interconnected part manufacturing model.
