With advancing digitalization, there continues to be steady 
progress in networking between production and office IT. 
Production data is collected and analyzed in the cloud or in 
the management system to optimize production. Yet the 
networking of existing plants represents a major challenge, 
because equipment from different manufacturers are fre-
quently at different technological levels and often do not 
speak the same data languages and protocols. A time-con-
suming and complex retrofitting to connect both worlds 
soon becomes necessary. 
An intelligent gateway that standardizes communication 
between the various data sources, then analyzes and for-
wards communications to the corresponding recipients is a 
solution that can be easily implemented. It makes it possi-
ble to implement future-oriented production concepts even 
for existing plants.
