Amorph Systems Joins Volkswagen and AWS to Propel Production & Supply Chain to the Digital Age
Volkswagen, together with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and integration partner Siemens, is opening the Industrial Cloud for other equipment suppliers and technology companies. With its innovative integration technologies and products, Amorph Systems is now part of the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud Community.
This open industry platform enables partners to network with Volkswagen locations and contributes their own software applications to the Industrial Cloud. Amorph Systems provides its SMARTUNIFIER Integration Platform for the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud. Like in an App Store, partner companies can access applications such as SMARTUNIFIER in the Industrial Cloud and thus optimize their production processes and productivity. The availability of production data in the cloud is essential for a large number of the applications provided in the Industrial Cloud.
“SMARTUNIFIER is a leading-edge product that provides seamless interconnectivity between any kind of shopfloor device, production IT system and the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud. SMARTUNIFIER is a powerful enabler for sustainable migration to Industry 4.0 and beyond“ says Dr. Frank Frauenhoffer, managing director and founder of Amorph Systems GmbH.
The Volkswagen Group intends to further expand the range of software applications for its plants with the support of new partner companies.
For example, Amorph Systems supports Volkswagen in a predictive analytics use case. There, SMARTUNIFIER forms the interface (OT/IT Gateway) between local IT environments at the shop floor level and the AWS-based cloud environment and enables a variety of communication protocols to be combined.
