Fleet data is transmitted, processed centrally and stored via the scalable connection of all data modules. The machines.cloud platform supplies comprehensive possibilities for the visualization both of stored data and of live data. In case of threshold value or location exceedances, messages and alarms can be generated. It is possible to import software updates, to adapt machine configurations and also to transmit commands to the machine. In addition, it is possible to access all Cloud data and commands even from third-party systems or a customer’s own applications via the REST-API interface. Over and above this, it is possible to implement complex program sections via microservices and to adapt machines.cloud to customer-specific requirements.
