Driving TRUMPF's Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) business model with prenode remote operations solution
In Zusammenarbeit mit TRUMPF haben wir erfolgreich eine innovative Technologie implementiert, die das Modell Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) in der Blechindustrie transformiert. Gemeinsam sind wir die Herausforderungen von TRUMPF effektiv angegangen und haben eine Remote-Operations-Lösung realisiert, die Live-Überwachung und Fernzugriffsmöglichkeiten nahtlos miteinander verbindet und eine schnelle und effiziente Fehlerbehebung ermöglicht. Durch die Optimierung des Maschinenbetriebs, die Verbesserung der Kostentransparenz und die Steigerung der Rentabilität birgt diese innovative Technologie ein immenses Potenzial für den Blechsektor und darüber hinaus. Unsere Zusammenarbeit wurde mit dem renommierten Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award (MIMA) 2023 in der Kategorie "SCALE!" ausgezeichnet.
Challenge
TRUMPF’s customers face several challenges in their operations, reflecting the broader issues encountered in industrial manufacturing. These encompass a shortage of skilled workers, time constraints arising from shrinking lot sizes, and low utilization of existing systems.
Therefore, TRUMPF carried out a new business model, Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS), where payment is based on the production of individual sheet metal parts and TRUMPF experts assess and resolve errors remotely for their worldwide customers.
To effectively support this approach and enhance their service offerings, TRUMPF sought an integrated and value-added solution for their machines.
How we helped
We have developed a comprehensive solution for remote operations of TRUMPF's laser cutting machines. This solution enables live monitoring of machine signals and industry-grade camera streaming. It provides an intuitive interface for remote operators to quickly receive notifications of failures, assess the machine's state, and resolve errors, minimizing machine downtime and keeping the operations running smoothly.
Additionally, the solution is highly integrated into TRUMPF's system landscape and full-service model, from order to cut part.

Results
Our remote operations solution facilitates the advancement of TRUMPF's EaaS model, resulting in multiple advantages for both them and their customers. Firstly, the solution boosts overall efficiency, allowing for increased production of parts within the same time limit and lowering the cost per part. Importantly, it also mitigates risks associated with machine failures. Moreover, by providing enhanced transparency into real-time machine states and camera feeds, operators can remotely monitor every movement and act accordingly, driving operational efficiency for TRUMPF's customers.
This partnership between prenode and TRUMPF laid the groundwork for the future development of remotely controlled machines, furthering the industry's efficiency, profitability, and innovation.
Our collaboration led us to win the Microsoft and Roland Berger's Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award (MIMA) 2023 in the category "SCALE!".
