Nomination Title: Empolis Service Express Industrial Analytics

Empolis Service Express Industrial Analytics monitors machines through AI-based data analysis and makes it easier for companies to get started with the Industrial Internet of Things to use relevant data, avoid downtimes and failures of machines, plants, and equipment, and digitally transform themselves. Industrial Analytics leverages the full potential of data analytics and generates new revenue by, for example, offering predictive maintenance based on machine data as a new service. In this way, failures are proactively prevented, and the appropriate original spare parts are offered at the same time.

Industrial Analytics focuses on the historical and real-time analysis of complex IoT data to derive insights from sensor and event data about the condition of the plants and their optimal operation as well as for predictive scenarios. For the first time, the focus is on the business value of data, not just the analysis itself. It's not about the algorithms, but about operators getting to know their machines, equipment, and products: how do they and their processes really work? How can they be made measurable? And how can their behavior be predicted? Industrial analytics thus accompanies the entire process: from data analysis to the right action. This also enables completely new business models by turning manufacturers into providers of 24/7 digital services for their customers.

You do not need to develop your own software or carry out complex projects but can get started straight away. Industrial analytics accompanies the entire process of the value chain in service: from signal to action. Providers can thus optimize their spare parts and operating resources business, develop new data-driven business models, and expand their range of services.
