Keeping up with manufacturing’s changing dynamics
Manufacturers face many challenges in order to remain competitive in today’s rapidly evolving business environment: identifying new revenue streams, running more efficient operations, scaling resources to meet changing demands, and using the vast amounts of available data to make better business decisions. As the pandemic continues to linger and impact industrial operations around the world, many manufacturers are pursuing digital transformation with greater urgency to ensure continuity of their operations and keep pace with changing dynamics.
HPE GreenLake: Empowering transformation to meet digital demands
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) makes vast amounts of data available to manufacturers; the challenge is to transform that data into insights to uncover inefficiencies and support competitiveness. HPE GreenLake offers workload-optimized services that enable faster access to data and insights, combining the automation, agility, and economics of the cloud with the security and performance of on-premises infrastructure. IT can now deliver a modernized solution that is adaptable, scalable, secure, and streamlined to provide business efficiencies from the shop floor to the executive suite.
Support strategic priorities with agile infrastructure
While the cloud appeals to many manufacturers, gathering IIoT-based real-time insights requires on-premises solutions. HPE GreenLake offers the best of both worlds, providing on-premises IT infrastructure delivered with the flexibility and economics of the public cloud.
Gain faster access to data and insights
One of the greatest strengths of the IIoT is that it enables the use of data to manufacture more quickly, predict failures, reduce unexpected downtime, and increase automation. HPE GreenLake offers integrated solutions that speed decisions, insights, and innovations while reducing complexity.
Scale resources to meet demand
To respond to changing market conditions, manufacturing IT has to support production bursts, new product or factory spin-ups, and facility expansions. With scale-up-and-down flexibility and a pay-per-use model, HPE GreenLake makes it easy to ensure the business has the IT resources it needs.
Ensure IT availability while keeping data secure
The need to reduce unplanned downtime in a plant extends to its IT infrastructure. With services built in, your HPE GreenLake solution is monitored and managed for you, with the protection of on-premises infrastructure for your valuable design, product, and production intellectual property.
Manufacturers need solutions that keep pace with changing dynamics and business needs. HPE GreenLake can support requirements with an agile IT infrastructure that’s designed to provide insights across plant floor, supply chain, and enterprise data.
HPE GreenLake solutions support enterprise systems that enable more efficient operations, warn when equipment is failing or needs repair, improve product quality and throughput, and provide flexibility to run your infrastructure where you want it.
Engineering and design teams need HPC systems to speed development testing while improving product quality and safety. HPE GreenLake solutions offer the software, compute, and storage capabilities to help you accelerate innovation and time to value.

ABB Motion Traction increases engineering efficiency
With Secure Edge Data Center technology, ABB Motion is improving traction converters and driving R&D and engineering with faster, more efficient software simulations, working toward zero-emissions travel for passengers.
- Challenge: need more capacity to handle the data generated, where we can simulate circumstances and test in a fraction of the time it would take in a real-world scenario
- Solution: Deliver infrastructure as a service to speed up R&D product simulation and drive efficiency across the product lifecycle
- Outcome: With the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, a new chapter of simulation and testing has been created. It puts the data center next to the applications, allowing scalability and ease of operation. For ABB Motion Traction, it will mean faster simulation and insights, and the ability to scale quickly by making data transfer simpler and more efficient.
