Hofmann Software and Server Solution
Central data platform and IoT infrastructure for efficient and future-proof wheel assembly and tire inspection

As an experienced manufacturer of custom machinery for wheel assembly, tire testing, and wheel balancing, Hofmann has been developing innovative system solutions for automotive suppliers and OEMs for decades. With our software, server, and IoT solutions, we offer a powerful, centralized infrastructure for the digital control, management, and optimization of your production processes.

Our solution connects machines, IoT-enabled equipment, IT systems, and production planning in a unified database—for maximum transparency, process reliability, and efficiency.

Integrated Production Data Platform

All relevant wheel type, material, process, and measurement data are managed centrally and are consistently available to all connected systems. Every change or adjustment is automatically synchronized and can be traced at any time.

Through the integration of modern IoT technologies, machine and process data can be captured, analyzed, and evaluated centrally in real time. This allows you to create a networked production environment with high data availability and optimal process control.

Data sources include in-plant measurement systems, IoT sensors, upstream systems, and connected ERP and MES solutions. Seamless integration into existing IT and automation environments is achieved via standardized interfaces.

System Architecture and Integration

The modular platform is based on modern industrial programming standards and a platform-independent web app. Thanks to no-code configuration, new modules can be implemented quickly and securely—without complex programming.

The IoT-enabled system architecture enables the intelligent networking of machines, production data, and digital services. This provides companies with a scalable foundation for Industry 4.0 applications and data-driven production optimization.

From the server system to office workstations to the web-based user interface, you receive a fully integrated end-to-end solution from a single source.

Objectives

The focus is on simplifying production processes and making them more transparent, reducing setup and teach-in times, minimizing sources of error, and sustainably increasing production availability.

Rely on a central data source, intelligent IoT connectivity, maximum process control, traceability, and sustainable efficiency gains. We would be happy to show you how our platform optimally supports your production. Contact us for a personal consultation.
