Concern – How to tackle the complexity of implementing an Industrial IoT platform without having high internal technological expertise?

Solution – MAT has been designed to make the configuration process as simple as possible. Additionally, during the initial implementation phase of the platform, you will be guided step by step by a 40Factory application engineer; we will provide you with all the necessary skills to make you as self-sufficient as possible in the day-by-day management of the solution.

Concern – When considering the adoption of an Industrial IoT platform, one of the main concerns for machine builders is the cost.

Solution – MAT features a modular design, allowing for flexibility and adaptability. Users can begin with the basic components and later expand with more advanced modules as required. Additionally, its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model allows you to pay an annual subscription only for the machines that are actually connected.

Concern – How to manage resistance to change within the organization and involve all business departments (sales, after-sales, marketing, etc.) in the innovation process?

Solution – We provide training and consultancy programs for all key business functions, helping to overcome resistance to change and ensuring a rapid understanding of new technologies and business models.

Concern – Integrating an Industrial IoT solution can be often complicated, particularly when it involves merging with existing systems such as SCADA and MES.

Solution – MAT is designed to integrate and exchange information with external systems, such as existing MES and SCADA. Furthermore, many of our customers have discontinued legacy SCADA or MES solutions, now obsolete and costly to update, in favor of MAT in EDGE mode with JOB EXECUTOR module.

Concern – Connecting machinery to the cloud entails risks of data loss or theft. Worse still, it heightens the risk of cyber attacks on the machines themselves.

Solution – MAT is designed with the cybersecurity-by-design paradigm: periodically, an assessment and penetration test is carried out by a third-party entity, specialized and certified. This ensures that the entire architecture complies with current industrial cybersecurity standards. Lastly, thanks to the multi-cloud architecture, data is always under your direct control.

Concern – My company builds very different machines. This makes managing an Industrial IoT platform very inefficient.

Solution – MAT addresses the scalability challenge by providing a flexible solution that is ‘builder-proof’. With MAT Control Center, it’s possible to create configuration models with various options, which are easily and quickly adapted for any machine produced.
