Your Trusted Partner for Siemens Industrial Edge
Longterm Technology Services (LTS) helps manufacturers turn shop-floor data into productivity, ROI, and lasting competitiveness.
From first assessment to full rollout, we design, deploy, and support Siemens Industrial Edge, so you get the value of Industry 4.0 without the complexity, the guesswork, or the need for a large in-house IT team.
The Problem: Digital Transformation Stalls Before It Starts
Most manufacturers know why they want to digitalize: higher productivity, better ROI, future competitiveness, happier customers. The hard part is getting started. The complexity of legacy systems, few or no internal resources to manage IT projects, and difficulty finding a digital partner are among the many roadblocks in the way.
A factory floor that doesn’t speak one language:
A further obstacle is the shop floor itself: most SMBs run machines of different ages, brands, and languages: legacy equipment beside modern lines, each with its own protocol. Getting them to share data is where projects bog down. And the old answer, pushing everything to the cloud, is slow and time-consuming, and strains networks with ever-increasing data and traffic.
