With infrastructure managed on cloud computing platforms, businesses take advantage of infinite computing and storage scalability, to be able to meet the needs of businesses in the shortest possible time. in the age of global digitalization. Platforms can automatically stream data at the required rate according to the amount of content data and the number of connected users. With features on Mindsphere, it is convenient to provide suitable cloud computing solutions for each different needs of the business at different times with reasonable costs.
Data collection connectivity
Mindphere allows data collection from a variety of data sources thanks to its open connectivity, including raw data sources from field sensors, or production data. analyzed from SCADA system, manufacturing machine control software, to data from ERP, MES systems, ... so that you can make the most of centralized big data, making it possible to apply. Analyze and process necessary data with the real needs of business based on cloud computing platform.
Mindsphere cloud computing is an information technology platform developed by Siemens, which is provided with hardware Gateway devices such as Simatic IOT 2050, Mindconnect Nano, or Edge Device software library to help collect and storing data in the cloud from an automated control system is extremely convenient and ensures all necessary security requirements, shortening application deployment time in accordance with actual needs. of the business.
Features of the interface and application features built on the Mindsphere platform
Mindsphere develops Cloud Foundry-based service platform that allows application development in many different programming languages such as NodeJS, Python, .. (Backend) - HTML5, Javascript, CSS, ReactJS (Frontend). In addition, Siemens also provides low-code Mendix programming software to help application developers deploy their products to customers in the shortest time.
Application characteristics are information technology products with high requirements on the suitability of features, interfaces, as well as user experience for each industry and each specific requirement. Building applications on a variety of programming platforms and hardware devices such as PCs / laptops, mobile devices, supported by Mindsphere to help customers feel secure in visuals. and in accordance with the actual needs of the business.
