To ensure consistent data collection, all energy storage systems from the three product lines Motive Power, Reserve Power and Special Power are to be connected and the data collected and centralised in a cloud-based platform.
The solution created not only serves a single area, but also serves as a central IoT platform for the various products of the individual business units.
The development of new, holistic services: New digital services were created for internal use, as well as for individual customer groups, based on the data collection now made possible by the platform.
Individual data analyses require the availability of very high-frequency data with a sampling rate of 200 ms in some cases. This results in extensive data for each connected device, which is processed in a data lake.
The com2m Smart Product Platform serves as a central link for the various product areas.
adesso provided Hoppecke with comprehensive support in the development of the IoT cloud solution: We developed the technical and functional concept of the overall solution, ensured the agile implementation of the cloud development as well as the operation and continuous further development of the IoT cloud solution.
In addition to the com2m Smart Product Platform, Microsoft Azure was used to implement the target architecture and Angular Data Lake Storage Gen2 was used as the basis for data storage.
Accumulatorenwerke HOPPECKE Carl Zoellner & Sohn GmbH, founded in Brilon in 1927, is fully dedicated to industrial energy storage systems. The main areas are divided into emission-free drives (trak), secure power supply (grid), storage of renewable energies (sun) and railway and metro systems (rail). The company, which specialises in lead-acid and nickel-cadmium, has expanded its portfolio to include modern lithium-ion storage media through its subsidiary INTILION, founded in 2019, and thus also covers the areas of stationary storage systems for buffering renewable energies, drive storage systems for industrial trucks such as forklift trucks and high-voltage systems for driving trains and other heavy-duty applications.
