High transparency and machine availability

Machines and systems rethought: As a platform, NOA offers the possibility of designing your own automation solutions on the basis of open systems. In addition to hardware and software products from KEB, the concept can be easily expanded – through the user‘s own expertise or the integration of third-party providers. This means that basic elements can be simply supplemented with knowledge from specialised companies.

The core infrastructure on the edge component (NOA Core) is based on a Linux and container-based architecture and can be used on embedded hardware, IPCs and panels from KEB or 3rd party devices. The App Manager is used to operate NOA apps such as solutions for HMIs, machine learning (anomaly detection and predictive maintenance), monitoring and control systems as well as customised or 3rd party apps. Apps and devices can be managed across locations in the optional cloud component (NOA Portal). NOA is also customisable as a white label version for OEMs and end customers to enable business models such as “automation platform-as-a-service”.

Highlights:

• Hardware independent
• Future proof real open​ architecture
• Add your own and 3rd party apps
• Increasing flexibility
• Linux and container based architecture
