Innovation has become the driving force behind every logistics process, simplifying operations, reducing costs, and enhancing efficiency. At Modula, we design innovative solutions where software and hardware are the result of extensive research and development.
Since the software aspect of our storage solutions is a distinctive and valuable feature, we consistently focus on interconnection with other technologies and software, as well as data analysis and the benefits it can bring.
After years of offering Modula Cloud, it’s time to take the next step: the new Modula IoT license, a more precise and customizable solution to optimize warehouse management and integrate with existing telemetry systems.
Transition from Modula Cloud to Modula IoT: New Features for a Smarter Warehouse
The new Modula IoT license replaces the current Modula Cloud with Modula Web Analytics and also introduces the OPC UA option.
With the Modula IoT license, customers can:
- Access data via Modula Web Analytics for full control of their warehouse.
- Utilize OPC-UA Telemetry to transmit telemetry data to other company systems using the same protocol.
Cost Information:
- Modula Web Analytics requires an annual subscription.
- OPC-UA Telemetry is included at no additional cost.
Modula Web Analytics: The Evolution of Cloud Services
For companies without proprietary cloud or telemetry systems, Modula Web Analytics provides a complete platform for real-time warehouse data monitoring. Beyond machine activity reports, it also delivers valuable insights for maintenance scheduling and operational optimization.
As the natural evolution of Modula Cloud, it retains all its predecessor’s functionalities.
With Modula Web Analytics, you can:
- Monitor operations in real-time: Gain a clear and up-to-date view of your warehouse status, including energy consumption, resource usage, operational flows, errors, maintenance, and volumes.
- Visualize data through intuitive dashboards: Reports and dashboards enable quick performance analysis and identification of potential issues.
- Optimize productivity: Access to up-to-date data allows for faster strategic decisions and improved overall efficiency.
In short, Modula Web Analytics transforms raw data into actionable insights to support business productivity.
OPC-UA Telemetry: A New Standard for Integration
When a company already has a data analysis system in place and seeks to integrate Modula solutions, OPC-UA Telemetry is an essential resource. This feature ensures performance and security, leveraging the globally recognized OPC-UA standard (Open Platform Communications – Unified Architecture) for connecting diverse machines and devices within a single network.
Benefits of OPC-UA Telemetry:
- Maximum interoperability: Regardless of manufacturer or protocol, OPC-UA enables secure and standardized information exchange between connected devices and platforms.
- Timely interventions: Telemetry data allows for rapid response to anomalies, keeping warehouse health in check.
OPC-UA is indispensable in modern production environments, enabling seamless collaboration between machinery and systems from various generations. This technology allows Modula solutions to integrate effortlessly into existing operations, contributing to smarter logistics through the Modula WMS.
For companies with an existing WMS looking to connect Modula systems via Modula Drive or Modula Link, OPC UA acts as a bridge, securely linking Modula data with existing systems.
