April 27, 2017 - Parker Hannifin unveiled the Voice of the Machine IoT platform, an open, interoperable and scalable ecosystem of connected products and services. The offering is on display at Hannover Messe through April 28. As part of a broader digital transformation underway, Parker is leveraging 100 years of product and application expertise to build better digital customer experiences.
With the Voice of the Machine platform, Parker is addressing challenges that have prevented operators from fully leveraging IoT to improve safety and prevent unplanned downtime and high maintenance costs across their industrial applications. Some of these challenges include legacy devices that are not IoT-enabled, an absence of component-level insights, and competing communication protocols used by various suppliers.
Parker is using a center-led approach and has adopted a common set of IoT standards and best practices for use across all its operating groups and technologies. Every connected product uses the same repository of digital services with an exchange-based platform architecture, designed by software experts at Exosite.
