Orange Box enables factories and plants to fully transform into smart manufacturing set-ups and connect obsolete and digitally isolated machines.

Orange Box: Manufacturing intelligence for brownfield
The Orange Box is entirely flexible and modular. To collect and analyse basic operating data, all you need is a 25-mmwide compact PLC and the software component mapp OEE. For more advanced features – such as alarm management or energy monitoring – the solution can easily be scaled up with more powerful PLCs and additional software components. To give the Orange Box a modern user interface in addition to PLC functionality, a Power Panel or a Panel PC can be used.
