Smart Manufacturing

is not complicated

Get real-time insight into your production, connect machines and systems, and share factory data securely with people and applications — without programming.

Integrate, Visualize and improve.
UpBlue is the intelligent platform for every factory.

Connect your machines in minutes

Connect any machine, regardless of brand or protocol. From modern PLCs to legacy equipment — UpBlue supports industrial protocols such as Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT and S7.

No programming knowledge required. Configure connections visually via our Management Environment and start collecting production data immediately.

See what's really happening

Real-time dashboards show exact machine status, production figures and OEE values. Historical data helps you recognize trends and predict problems before they occur.

From operator to management — everyone has access to the same current information. Make data-driven decisions based on facts, not assumptions.

Optimize and improve

Identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime and increase your OEE. Set up intelligent alerts that warn you of deviations, so you can intervene immediately.

Share production data automatically with your ERP, MES or other systems. Determine performance per order or batch and continuously improve.

One Platform for Your Entire Factory

By centrally collecting data from machines, operators and ERP systems, UpBlue always provides current, reliable insights. Direct visibility into what is happening and concrete control to improve every step on the shop floor.

Data-Based Preventive Maintenance

Minimize unplanned downtime with real-time condition monitoring. Predictive analyses ensure timely maintenance before failures occur.

Proactive maintenance based on actual machine condition with detection of deviations in temperature, vibrations and operating hours for increased reliability.

Energy Management & Optimization

Get a grip on your energy consumption with real-time monitoring per machine, line and location. Reduce energy costs by gaining insight into waste and inefficiency.

Intelligent alerts detect deviations and peak consumption, while CO₂ footprint tracking supports your sustainability reporting.

Order & Batch Tracking

Get complete control over your production processes with advanced order and batch tracking. Compare performance between items, orders or batches.

Intelligent data aggregation automatically links production data to orders and batches for data-driven optimization of your processes.

Unified Namespace

From point-to-point to single source of truth. A central data bus replaces numerous individual connections and makes your factory ready for scalable digitization.

Connect machines, SCADA, ERP and applications via standardized architecture according to ISA-95 standard for flexible system integrations.

Smart Factory Integrations

UpBlue bridges the gap between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) systems. Traditional factory environments often work with isolated systems that cannot communicate effectively. Our platform creates a universal integration layer that connects machines with business systems.

Connect your entire factory with UpBlue's comprehensive connectivity solutions. From legacy machines to modern equipment, our platform supports a wide range of industrial protocols and communication standards.
