Customer solution: Syntegon’s approach in the packaging industry

In addressing these needs, Syntegon developed Synexio, a cloud-based software for the collection, evaluation and visualisation of machine and production data. Synexio leverages Eurotech’s integrated hardware and software solution: ReliaGate 10-14 together with Everyware Software Framework – an enterprise-ready IoT framework – and Everyware Cloud, an IoT integration platform that offers extensive options for device management and maintenance. This combination ensures data security at an IEC 62443 compliant level, from the edge to the cloud.

Opting for Synexio includes a connectivity kit – containing all necessary components to connect the equipment, featuring the ReliaGate gateway. This device once installed within the control cabinet links via an intranet cable to the machinery’s PLC to retrieve essential operational data.
For those selecting the power monitoring add-on, an extra sensor is provided, enabling the edge device to record power consumption data directly – vital information not typically available from PLCs alone.
Data preprocessing at the edge device level standardises the information for consistency. The data is then encrypted for secure transmission to the cloud, where it is organised and visualised on a browser-based dashboard, accessible from anywhere.
