IoT from Bechtle: Networking made easy.
Over the past twenty years, IT has become increasingly prevalent in industry. The manufacturing landscape has undergone fundamental changes as advanced information technologies and industrial processes have merged to form industrial IT. A key pillar of this specialised IT sector is the Internet of Things (IoT). As a comprehensive IT system provider, Bechtle offers a range of IoT solutions and services. We outline these below.

What is the IoT?
The IoT enables users to obtain an overview of the position and status of physical objects without having to be on site themselves. This could be the energy consumption of several production facilities, the condition of a single machine, the location of a logistics container and much more. Whether in a production facility, office building, supermarket, hospital or an entire city – the IoT can be used practically anywhere. The principle is always the same: sensors collect data and send it via a network to a server on which it is made readable by means of an IoT application. Bechtle offers a broad IoT portfolio with which we can, for example, make your manufacturing processes more digital and efficient. This is based upon our many years of IoT experience and on our ability to provide sound advice, tailor-made hardware, secure network architectures and seamless integration into your existing systems.

Why Bechtle is the ideal IoT partner.
As an IoT general contractor, we not only advise you on the Internet of Things, but also take care of the complete implementation and operation of your IoT infrastructure on request. This sets us apart from many other service providers on the market, with direct benefits to you: Firstly, you can use the IoT even if you do not have your own specialists for it. And secondly, we are your one-stop shop for everything – from consulting to setting up a network, connecting machines using sensors, creating documentation, securing edge gateways as well as the operation and monitoring of your entire system. This saves you the hassle of coordinating and liaising with different service providers and sets your IoT project on the path to success right from the start.
A look at the practical side: Large-scale rollouts and upscaling.
Bechtle offers IoT solutions for various areas, including smart production, smart logistics, smart buildings, smart cities and smart healthcare. For example, we have taken over the IoT service for several plants at a well-known manufacturer in the pharmaceutical sector. This includes the operation of IoT platforms and sensors, the documentation of processes, migration concepts for LoRaWAN infrastructures and the establishment of a central ordering platform. In addition, we are also supporting the customer in the planning and installation of more than 50,000 sensors.
We have set up an operator concept for an IoT platform based on Microsoft Azure for a manufacturer of equipment for forestry, gardening and landscaping. We also support the customer in scaling and optimising the platform. Over the next few years, more than 120,000 devices are going to be getting connected to this platform. In addition, end customers will be able to access digital services via the platform, through which they will receive software updates for their devices and data on their operating time.
