ONCITE was presented The Innovation Award for its ‘All in One Edge’ solution at the “Summit Meeting of World Market Leaders 2020” that is held under the patronage of Peter Altmaier, Germany’s Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, and involving around 500 participants.
The solution has been developed by Rittal, iNNOVO Cloud, German Edge Cloud and IoTOS – four members of the Friedhelm Loh Group of companies – in close cooperation with Bosch Connected Industry and the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft.
ONCITE is a turnkey edge cloud data centre for real-time and data sovereignty Industry 4.0 application scenarios. It stores and processes data practically in real time in manufacturing processes (“on premises”) and harmonises the data for artificial intelligence (AI)-based analyses.
This way and in the shortest possible time, businesses can digitally optimise their production processes, use data to create value and make it available for further use. The users retain complete control over their data and may decide for themselves who is given access to which data, as well as which platforms and public clouds they want to use in order to network with their partners.I
n 1961, as Rittal began with an innovation in enclosure technology, the Friedhelm Loh Group is now supporting its customers in a variety of fields on their way into the digital future – from the value chain in enclosure manufacturing to market-leading IT racks, modular data centres, edge and hyperscale computing solutions and ONCITE.
“We are very proud that our development has gained recognition in such a renowned environment,” says Dr Sebastian Ritz, Managing Director of German Edge Cloud within the Friedhelm Loh Group.
“ONCITE is the answer to vital questions that are currently being asked by companies – particularly in manufacturing. In other industries too, ever greater amounts of data have to be securely stored, selected and processed in a value-added manner, for example in the health care sector or in ‘smart living’. There is further potential for ONCITE and Gaia-X in these areas as well”, Dr Ritz explains.
