Manufacturers face significant pressure to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and future-proof their factories in order to stay competitive. This is challenging with legacy systems that limit visibility and adaptability, often operating in silos and making it hard to access real-time data or scale with modern technologies. However, Bosch Rexroth's ctrlX platform and InfluxDB work together to create scalable monitoring systems for modern manufacturing, offering a solution to these challenges by providing timely, accurate data that can be turned into actionable intelligence. This tech paper details the benefits of modernizing monitoring systems, including predictive maintenance, reduced unplanned downtime, and a data foundation for continuous improvement and innovation. The ctrlX platform brings modularity, openness, and edge computing to industrial environments, empowering manufacturers to create flexible control and data systems that evolve alongside production needs, when deployed with InfluxDB it forms a powerful monitoring stack that supports real-time dashboards, historical analysis, and enterprise-wide insights.
