Nokia is expanding its industrial application ecosystem with the launch of six new Industry 4.0 applications deployed on MXIE. The expansion integrates applications from technology partners, including Bosch Rexroth, Ipsotek, Nozomi Networks, Prosys OPC, SmartCone, and SwitchON.

The new applications aim to address the needs of enterprises operating in asset-intensive industries such as ports, mining and manufacturing. According to Nokia, these face significant challenges in harnessing value from real-time operational technology (OT) data to achieve their digitalisation goals. The new applications employ various enabling technologies such as machine and process control, video analytics and AI, environmental sensing, industrial connectivity and network security.

The Nokia MX Industrial Edge (MXIE) platform is designed to provide a robust and secure edge computing foundation that allows enterprises to seamlessly deploy these new applications.

Solutions for industrial DataOps include Prosys OPC UA Forge. This provides a single point of access for collecting data from various industrial assets. It allows structured data organisation using OPC UA information modelling, enabling interoperability across different manufacturers and system generations.

Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX OS is an operating system for industrial automation. Running on MXIE, ctrlX OS is packaged with industrial applications to provide integration of machines, data visualisation, process automation, and secure communication across industrial use cases.

SwitchON DeepInspect employs high-precision AI models to reduce defects, lower inspection costs, and optimise manufacturing processes.

Ipsotek VISuite enhances situational awareness with precise object tracking and AI-powered automation to improve worker safety and production monitoring.

SmartCone’s HeatGuardian solution provides real-time worker heat stress monitoring for workplace safety in different and challenging environmental conditions.

The Nozomi Networks Platform employs AI for real-time asset visibility, threat detection, and vulnerability management to minimise cyber risk and maximise operational resilience.

“Enterprises require intelligent, secure, and scalable solutions to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and introduce use cases that will deliver concrete benefits. The expansion of industrial applications deployed on MXIE underscores Nokia’s commitment to fostering an open and interoperable industrial edge ecosystem. With our expanded portfolio of industrial edge applications, we are enabling businesses to accelerate their digitalisation journey while ensuring quality, safety and security, efficiency, and sustainability,” said Stephan Litjens, Vice President, Enterprise Campus Edge at Nokia.
