- The on‑premises analytics solution bridges the gap between isolated machines and cloud‑based platforms
- The new solution processes drive data entirely within the user’s own infrastructure, including integrated Industrial AI capabilities
- Drivetrain Analyzer Onsite complements the existing Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud cloud offering and is designed for users with stringent data‑sovereignty requirements; the software is part of Siemens Xcelerator
Monitoring as a new module for local condition monitoring
DTA Onsite – Monitoring captures high‑resolution, including precision time protocol (PTP) synchronized vibration and analog signals acquired – depending on the use case – via the Connection Modules Vibration (CM VIB), Fast Process Parameters (CM FPP), and IOT (CM IOT). This includes vibration data, analog values and fingerprint information, which are preprocessed locally and then analyzed within the system. The user interface provides plant‑level overviews, KPI trend views and detailed diagnostic dashboards – all accessible through a standard web browser. The integrated Industrial AI identifies deviations from typical drivetrain behavior and provides indications of potential mechanical changes or early‑stage wear. All data remains within the user’s own infrastructure, as the analytics are executed entirely on the industrial PC.
Drivetrain Analyzer Onsite complements the existing cloud offering
With Drivetrain Analyzer Onsite, Siemens is expanding its drivetrain analytics portfolio with a solution tailored for users preferring strictly local data processing. The Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud, launched last year, supports cross‑site, cloud‑based analyses and fleet‑level evaluations. In contrast, DTA Onsite targets industrial environments where data sovereignty, latency requirements or isolated network architectures are key considerations. Both systems follow the same modular concept but differ in operating model, integration environments and regulatory deployment contexts. Like Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud, DTA Onsite is part of Siemens Xcelerator.
DTA Onsite runs on industrial PCs and uses a containerized software architecture. The solution supports open and documented interfaces such as MQTT, gRPC, and OPC UA, enabling integration into SCADA systems, edge platforms, industrial IPC environments and maintenance software. Data streams from sensors and automation equipment are consolidated locally and visualized through a unified monitoring interface.
DTA Onsite – Monitoring can be deployed in a wide range of industrial environments and is specifically designed for applications with variable load, speed and operating profiles. This includes production machinery such as extruders, packaging machines and textile machines, where mechanical and process‑related changes must be detected early. The solution is equally suitable for infrastructure applications such as pump stations, compressors or conveyor systems, which often operate continuously or across varying load conditions. Motion‑control applications with dynamic movement profiles also benefit from the detailed monitoring capabilities, as load peaks and changing operating states are systematically captured and analyzed
