Indonesian manufacturers face the same 4 obstacles to Industry 4.0 transformation
Islands of Automation
Your Siemens PLC doesn't talk to your Mitsubishi robot. Your Yokogawa transmitter is isolated from your SCADA. Every machine speaks a different protocol - you're managing 10 separate systems with 10 different dashboards.
The Pain Gets Worse: When production stops, you don't know which system failed. Your engineer spends hours jumping between proprietary software packages while machines sit idle. Meanwhile, your competitor with unified monitoring already fixed their issue.
Tandem Solution:
From One Gateway
Data Rich, Insight Poor
Your machines log everything - temperatures, pressures, cycle times, energy consumption. Terabytes of data stored somewhere. But when your boss asks "Why did Line 3 underperform yesterday?" you're scrambling.
The Real Cost: Your team wastes hours every day manually collecting data from machines, typing into Excel, creating reports that are already outdated. By the time you identify the problem, you've lost another shift of production. Competitors with real-time dashboards are winning your customers.
Tandem Solution:
Instant Root Cause Analysis
IT/OT Integration Gap
Your IT team wants cloud dashboards and predictive analytics. Your OT team refuses to connect critical PLCs to the internet. Both have valid concerns. Meetings go nowhere. Nothing changes.
The Standoff Continues: While you debate security vs visibility, competitors already deployed edge computing solutions - processing critical data locally (OT happy), syncing analytics to cloud (IT happy). Your factory stays stuck in analysis paralysis.
Tandem Solution:
Edge + Cloud Security
Multi-Vendor Integration Chaos
"Call Siemens for the PLC. Call Rockwell for the drive. Call Yokogawa for the sensor."Adding one new machine to your monitoring system requires coordinating 5 different vendors. Each blames the other when integration fails.
Project Delays Mount: What should take 2 weeks drags into 3 months. Vendor lock-in means premium pricing - you can't negotiate when only one supplier speaks your PLC's language. Your expansion plans stall because integration complexity keeps growing.
Tandem Solution:
Vendor-Agnostic Solution

Proven Industrial IoT solutions backed by 50 years of CONTEC reliability
We Are "The Integration Layer"
In Smart Factory architecture, there are 4 layers: Device Layer (your PLCs, sensors, drives) → Edge Layer (where Tandem lives) → Platform Layer → Application Layer. We sit between your operational technology and IT systems - collecting data from 15+ different protocols, normalizing it, securing it, and sending unified streams to your cloud, ERP, or MES.
Smart Factory 4-Layer Architecture
Device Layer
Operational Technology
Edge Layer
The Integration Bridge
Platform Layer
Data Storage & Processing
Application Layer
Business Intelligence & IT
Why Layer 2 Matters: Without a proper Edge/Integration Layer, you're forced to build custom integrations for every device-to-cloud connection. That's where projects fail. Tandem provides the standardized bridge that scales from 1 machine to 1,000+ machines.
