PPMP at Bosch in Homburg

Bosch wants to remove one of the biggest barriers for smaller companies seeking to enter connected industry. Known as the Production Performance Management Protocol (PPMP), the new standard will for instance support the quick, easy, and secure transfer of data from sensors that SMEs supply to manufacturers to the production systems of large companies. Using the new PPMP, sensors can be integrated faster than before in production environments. At a Bosch plant in Homburg, this new protocol is already in use. Using connected sensors and the PPMP, Bosch-expert Marko Guth is measuring the quality of oil in a production machine to determine the correct point of time for an oil change.
