Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global provider of complete connection solutions, today announced the new Belden and Edge2Web Smart Factory Insights solution, powered by AWS IoT SiteWise. The solution helps manufacturers drive continuous improvement across the plant floor by digitizing operations and visualizing key performance indicators (KPIs).
Manufacturers are under pressure to improve efficiency, but turning plant floor data into action remains difficult. Many operations still run on a patchwork of control systems and manual processes that make real-time performance visibility hard to achieve.
The solution delivers:
- No-code tools to create custom KPIs, dashboards and scorecards without programming
- Multi-protocol support connecting more than 300 industrial protocols and device types
- GenAI-powered summaries, alerts and digital playbooks for faster decision-making
- Scalability from single-site deployments to global, multi-site operations
The Belden and Edge2Web Smart Factory Insights solution combines Belden Horizon™ Data Operations with Edge2Web Factory Insights. Belden Horizon™ Data Operations connects more than 300 industrial protocols and normalizes plant data acquisition and secure transmission to AWS IoT SiteWise. Edge2Web Factory Insights, a software-as-a-service application, computes and visualizes key performance indicators such as overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), total effective equipment performance (TEEP), mean time between failures and mean time to repair (MTBF/MTTR), and energy consumption.
“Most manufacturers are not lacking data. They are missing the connection from data to decisions, and getting there usually means stitching together three or four vendors and hoping it holds together. We built this solution with Edge2Web powered by AWS so that work is done and customers can realize value quickly – and it’s the first in a line of end-to-end solutions we’re bringing to market with our ecosystem partners to deliver customer outcomes,” said David Ricks, Ecosystem Partner Program Manager, Belden.
“Manufacturing leaders need end-to-end solutions that enable reduced downtime, improved product quality, and optimized energy utilization. By combining best-in-class edge data acquisition with advanced performance analytics and AI, Belden and Edge2Web are partnering to address complex manufacturing challenges quickly and at scale,” said Fred Holahan, Co-Founder and CEO, Edge2Web, Inc.
The Edge2Web collaboration reflects Belden’s ongoing evolution from a connectivity products provider to a comprehensive solutions provider, helping manufacturers move from raw plant floor data to the insights that drive operational performance.
