Get a Glimpse: Use Cases of the Smart-Ex® 03

Seamless and effective troubleshooting in process plants: Industrial communication depends on reliable data transmission from the field to the control level. The mobile worker receives an error message via Ethernet APL on the 5G Smart-Ex 03 smartphone. Using unique identifiers, they can check which component sent the error message and gain access to valuable data from the field device. A management system thereby enables asset management and spare parts ordering from anywhere in the field.

Digital work order management: The Smart-Ex 03 enables the digitalization of various business processes, such as work order management for planning and prioritizing work orders. In this process, the mobile worker receives work orders on their smartphone, each of which contains a list of work steps that must be completed in order to fulfill the order. This allows companies to guide their mobile workers through the entire work order process. In this way, digital work order management maximizes worker efficiency and simplifies the repair or maintenance of equipment in plants.

Push-to-talk group call: The Smart-Ex 03 enables encrypted, and therefore secure, push-to-talk group calls with multiple people at different locations over 5G. This communication feature enables remote support of mobile workers and helps complete service and maintenance tasks in the field.

5G for High Performance

Equipped with 5G, the Smart-Ex 03 offers the highest security and reliability for users. The powerful 5G technology creates high data throughput with low latency. At the same time, it ensures precise localization of objects in the field. This makes the intrinsically safe Smart-Ex 03 ideally suited for use in maintenance and servicing work.

The 5G smartphone can also be used to access the company's own particularly secure campus networks. These make companies self-sufficient and offer them additional protection so that sensitive data cannot leak out

Digital Products and Services






Digital Products and Services is a solution that combines automated staging, mobile device management, and device analytics. It can also be deployed as a full-fledged enterprise mobility management system if desired.

At the customer’s request, ecom’s mobile devices can be shipped from the factory with predefined custom configurations such as security settings, applications, and wireless setup. This allows the devices to be deployed anywhere in the world immediately after delivery. The devices can be managed via ecom’s online platform and updated remotely at any time during operation, without the need for an on-site IT staff or headquarters.

In addition, the platform analyzes historical data to identify critical software events, installations, and other safety-critical processes. A statistical accumulation of events can be used to establish correlations and causalities between software errors, geographical data, and Wi-Fi coverage, for example.
