Partnership: Cybus & prenode

prenode Provides Distributed and Scalable Machine Learning on Edge Devices

With the support of prenode, manufacturing companies can use services based on artificial intelligence (AI) without compromising data protection. Thus predictive maintenance, automatic anomaly detection, or automatic quality control become feasible.

Usually, the development of machine learning models for industrial machines requires large amounts of sensitive data to be transferred to the cloud. With our solutions, these security risks can be circumvented as we follow the paradigm of "modal exchange instead of raw data exchange".

Our underlying platform works with any machine and in any customer environment. This gives machine operators full control over their data when they use intelligent services.

Cybus Provides a Unified Data Infrastructure

Cybus specializes in information connectivity and architecture for smart factories. At its core stands the Cybus Connectware, a universal IIoT edge platform. Factory operators use it to turn a heterogeneous shopfloor infrastructure into a central hub for machine data. Machine manufacturers then only have to decide which data is needed where and Cybus delivers it: Data as a Service.
