Device Gate is already pre-installed in your laser ex-works. You only need to activate it to make the data from your laser available digitally. Using Device Gate you can, for example, send data from your laser or your machine directly and safely to the cloud or to TRUMPF. You can thereby make use of services such as Condition Monitoring. Device Gate is above all recommended when you would just like to network a single device. For constellations with several machines, Factory Gate should be used.

Factory Gate
Using Factory Gate you can network several lasers and machines digitally. You can connect all elements in your production facility with flexibility with the option of installing several Factory Gates in different instances of your network. You can install the software solution for this on your server, meaning data can be transferred unencrypted as everything remains within your secure network. The IT department permanently keeps an eye on the data transport. When data needs to be sent encrypted – i.e. when transferred beyond the limits of your company – different encryption technologies such as SSL/HTTPS are available. This technology means there is no need for VPN connections or open input ports.
