Optilink – A Big Data Platform for Industrial Cloud Applications

Speaker: Roger Feist, Achenbach Buschhütten

When algorithms and solutions have been verified in laboratory environments, it’s time to pave the way for their real field application. Here Optilink® becomes a product with interesting perspectives. Starting with a bottom-up approach, Optilink® is a tool chain to acquire, transmit, and analyze huge amounts of real-time- and historical-data of machinery in a safe and scalable cloud environment. Automated feature extraction is possible by the use of time- and data-driven events. This talk will present the tool chain, underlying concepts, and some examples for applications.
