Use of erPUB: Example in production

erPUB is the ideal tool for extracting data from your production and making it usable.
erPUB can be integrated into almost any network thanks to its high flexibility and can be run on an edge device, server or directly in the machine on an industrial PC.
This enables you to make your production more transparent, effective, value-adding and future-proof.

How is erPUB used?

erPUB is a modular software platform for the automatic acquisition, integration and publication of machine data – specially designed for industrial environments in which sensor and process data must be efficiently transferred to existing software systems. The data can be directly pre-processed, filtered and combined with other information. This means that only relevant data is transferred to the connected systems, which relieves the network and reduces costs.

Which industries is erPUB suitable for?

erPUB is ideal for:

    • Mechanical engineering & Industry 4.0

    • Manufacturing companies with a heterogeneous machine landscape

    • Logistics processes

    • Companies with a need for predictive maintenance, production monitoring or quality analyses

Which data sources and formats does erPUB support?

erPUB connects machines via various protocols such as OPC UA and processes:

    • Analog and digital sensors

    • Industrial interfaces (OPC UA, MQTT)

    • Formats: JSON, XML, CSV

    • Cloud destinations such as Azure or AWS

    • An example: erPUB runs on a RevPi and reads measured values such as temperature (RTD/PT100) and speeds. If the temperature exceeds a defined value, depending on the speed, a message is sent to another system for further analysis / machine learning.

What is the practical added value of a typical use case?

Example “Temperature Machine Learning → Azure”:

    • Automatic recording of temperature data via PT100/PT1000

    • Pre-processing and ML-based pattern recognition

    • Publication of data in Azure IoT and analytics services
      This creates real-time predictive maintenance scenarios – real-time monitoring paired with AI

How does erPUB integrate with existing systems?

  • Connection via OPC UA, MQTT or RevPi as an edge device

  • Data is provided with open APIs for ERP, MES, BI and cloud

  • Standardized data preparation and storage enable simple further processing

  • erPUB runs on Linux, Windows and macOS systems, either natively or as a Docker container.

Can I extend erPUB?

The configuration of erPUB can simply connect existing modules as required and thus be easily configured as a no-code solution.

You can also develop your own data inputs, processing and data outputs. These can be integrated directly into erPUB in .NET or connected via interfaces (e.g. Python programs or Docker containers).

What are the advantages of erPUB over isolated solutions?

  • Standardized data integration across heterogeneous systems

  • End-to-end solution: from data capture to pre-processing and publication

  • Scalability: from single machine to factory network

  • Transparency through central administration

What about data security and governance?

  • Secure data transfer via TLS/HTTPS

  • Rights and user management for internal access

  • Versioning and history for data traceability possible

  • Can be run on your own systems without access to the Internet or network

What hardware is required?

  • Edge device (e.g. RevPi, Beckhoff PLC, Windows terminal, Raspberry Pi, …) for data acquisition

  • Sensors for data acquisition as required

  • Mobile radio router for stand-alone systems

How quickly is erPUB ready for use?

  • Quick start with preconfigured modules within hours to a few days

  • Concrete pilot configurations based on your data can be realized at short notice

  • Modular design – from proof of concept to fully integrated smart factory solution
