IoT Engineer

Project overview

• Inventory and Connection Concept: Recording relevant machine controls, available interfaces, and data sources; evaluating technical connectivity and deriving an implementation concept including required gateways or adapters based on established standards and manufacturer retrofitting options.
• Interface Specification: Developing interfaces between machines, central bus systems, and target systems with machine manufacturers, PLC programming service providers, and system administrators. Defining data points, transmission mechanisms, update rates, and quality requirements. For determining OEE availability in the connected MES, the required machine signals and their assignment to MES states must be coordinated with the department and MES administrators.
• Technical Implementation: Configuration, implementation, and commissioning of the agreed machine connections, including data transmission, data assignment, and error handling; integration into the existing OT/IT landscape.
• Testing and Handover to Operations: Planning and execution of coordinated integration and functional tests; creation of operational documentation and support during handover, error analysis, and stabilization within the agreed service period.
• Technical Procurement Documents: Creation of tenders, specifications, and technical requirements for machine connection and data provision.
