Enabling precise configuration with open standards
When it comes to increasing the performance of industrial environments the ability to use preemptive maintenance methods, utilizing data provided by advanced device diagnostics, is key.
Welcoming safety over Ethernet to the field
Ethernet-APL enables digital communication in process automation from the sensor to the control level and also should be implemented utilizing the same network architecture.
Gaining actionable insight with SCADA systems
Modern supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) solutions can offer actionable insight to allow for better monitoring and control of production processes.
AI drives efficiencies through greater insight
There is growing interest from end-user organizations in the use of machine learning, AI and other emerging technologies to increase actionable information.
Three criteria for choosing unmanaged Ethernet switches
Ensure all devices and Ethernet nodes in a system are connected so operators receive the critical data they need to maintain operations.
Wireless connectivity trends and considerations
Well-engineered design, which takes into account the physical environment, safety and security can help make wireless control the new normal in factories and plants around the globe.
Streaming precise positioning data from valve positioners
The ability to use existing industrial Ethernet and wireless networks in process manufacturing plants and automation facilities has made data exchange within a facility and even throughout global corporate networks easier than ever.
Collaborative robots’ role in high-mix, low-volume production
The rise of high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) production has become commonplace with more customized items being produced. Collaborative robots can be a key enabler in this process.
AIoT benefits for manufacturers
The Artificial Intellience of Things (AIoT) can offer many potential benefits for edge and cloud computing applications for manufacturers.
IIoT, AI and control engineering combine to create a human-type nervous system
