What we're building. What we're thinking. What the community is learning.

The industry is shifting from use-cases to being technology driven. We provide a look behind the United Manufacturing Hub and into our experiences for tools & techniques for data processing.

We at the United Manufacturing Hub are completely behind digital transformation and what drives us forward is to help factories face Industry 4.0 and IIoT challenges with our Open-Source Software. This is why we are happy to be able to provide our support licenses to our software at the ADAMOS STORE. Our IIoT platform, the United Manufacturing Hub, combines "Information Technology" (IT) and "Operational Technology" (OT), enabling a wide range of applications from real-time production monitoring

Imagine you are sitting in a meeting while a machine is having a failure and is standing still. Wouldn’t it be useful to directly receive an alert to learn about a problem in the moment they occur? Also, wouldn’t it be beneficial to not always need to check the production dashboard but receive notifications on your personal computer or phone instead? This is possible by simply connecting your Grafana dashboard with Microsoft Teams, the communication tool most companies probably use every day.

This post was co-authored by Hector Duran We, the team behind the United Manufacturing Hub (UMH), recently worked with a manufacturer who had Tulip devices installed in a manual assembly cell. The company uses the Tulip platform to create digital work instructions, quality reports and dashboards for supervisors. These use cases allow the manufacturer to monitor and track the performance of the cell. In addition, the manufacturer has another area where it produces an aluminum part internally, w

How we are keeping up with the established players in Industrial IoT and why we believe the United Manufacturing Hub is changing the future of Industrial IoT and Industry 4.0 with the help of Open-Source.

This article explains the two fundamental approaches to encrypting your messages with your IoT devices, from passwords (symmetric) to certificates (asymmetric).

Securely connecting your IT with your OT using a demilitarized zone (DMZ). The need for security In recent years, the digitalization was quickly moving forward and is setting in every aspect of our surrounding. Especially with the Internet of Things (IoT) we developed technology that enabled us to interconnect more and more devices. This development took also place in the industry where nowadays data to every time and location can be gathered and used by connecting computer, servers, but als

How an open-source tool is establishing itself in a highly competitive environment against billion dollar companies.

TimescaleDB is better suited for the Industrial IoT than InfluxDB, because it is stable, mature and failure resistant, it uses the very common SQL as a query language and you need a relational database for manufacturing anyway
