Sage Clarity (www.SageClarity.com), a leader in next generation manufacturing enterprise solutions, announces the release of ABLE 3.0.
ABLE™ is a cloud-based, Internet of Things (IoT) solution that provides real-time root cause analysis for manufacturing operations and part of Sage Clarity's MES ecosystem product suite.
Sage Clarity's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) ecosystem product suite is a deep feature rich set of modules, integrations, and plug-in applications to expand the MES footprint. Its capabilities help drive Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data collection strategies that provide cutting-edge applications to unlock the value of their manufacturing software.
ABLE 3.0 functionality Includes:
Machine Fault Learning
Intelligent root cause analysis
KPI Heatmaps
John Oskin, President of Sage Clarity commented that, "With intelligent root cause analysis and Machine fault learning, ABLE 3.0 solves a significant data collection problem for complex production lines. KPI heatmaps create unique factory visualizations of problematic areas in the plant."
ABLE has been an effective tool for our organization, helping us understand our Process losses better. It is supporting our factory digitization efforts and were surprised how quickly the technology deployed
Andrew Wunder, Director of Operations from Henkel North America
The ABLE™ middleware solution resides between the plant floor and the MES/SCADA layer and requires no PLC data acquisition programming. The cloud technology eliminates the needs for special infrastructure, providing easy scale and rapid deployment. The Middleware solution integrates with MES platforms such as Epicor Advanced MES, Aveva MES, Rockwell, PTC, and many others.

Ekatra, Sierra Wireless | September 30, 2020
Sierra Wireless, the leading IoT solutions provider that combines devices, network services and software to unlock value in the connected economy, today announced that Ekatra successfully reduced the development time of its new Industrial IoT (IIoT) liquid fertilizer tank monitoring application by 50 percent using Octave™, the all-in-one, edge-to-cloud solution for connecting industrial assets. Octave enabled Ekatra to easily integrate IoT edge devices into industrial tank equipment, extend application intelligence to these IoT edge devices, and then integrate tank data into their cloud, allowing them to cut development time for the application from six to three months.
“Small and medium-sized companies are driving the growth of the Industrial IoT with innovative, practical, problem-solving applications that are transforming industries,” said Olivier Pauzet, VP Product IoT Solutions at Sierra Wireless. “Ekatra is an excellent example, transforming regular liquid fertilizer tanks into smart tanks that can tell you when they are leaking or automatically stop themselves from being overfilled, and in only three months. By eliminating the need to build IIoT infrastructure from scratch, Octave makes it easier and faster to get IIoT applications from concept to market, allowing practically any company today to begin realizing the benefits of Industry 4.0.”
