TwinCAT 3 IoT Data Agent feeds the data lake at Wienerberger AG. In the digitalization initiative, the Group started sending several million measured values to the cloud every day for analysis, to derive actionable insights in all areas of the company as a basis for targeted optimization measures.

IoT Edge-Gateway enables remote monitoring of the power supply for electric RTG cranes.

The VIVA Forging Company relies on LAPP for cables. Its Czech Republic forging operation uses cables in its quality control robots, and for other functions. Bus cables enable high speed PROFINET communication, and screened cables that offer resistance to mechanical damage and oils are used for transmitting sensor data.

Testing and system debugging Ethernet switches is a significant issue for machine builders. One solution is a switch retains all the features of an unmanaged switch such as auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX while also simplifying testing and eliminating the need to cycle power for each phase of testing.

A state-of-the-art industrial network provides a stable, reliable, and secure communication backbone for all operations at the Orkla Group facility in Indre Arna. The solution provides excellent availability and performance of operations technology (OT) thanks to a segmented and redundant Layer 3 network.

An innovative engineer turns to edge controller technology to power an EPIC Chevy Silverado lift system. Opto 22 encourages you to think about how you can put your engineering skills to work to improve the life of someone near you.

Compact Ethernet switches from Westermo connect innovative LCD train windows displaying passenger information.

The combination of security and collaboration platforms paves the way to accelerate engagement of a “community of experts” to address anomalies in industrial control networks. These communities can react rapidly to security and operational issues within the manufacturing environments.

Changes in the robotic industry, especially trends toward connectivity, miniaturization and Industry 4.0, led to a partnership between HARTING and Kuka. Responding to these megatrends put the focus on detailed application knowledge, a common view of holistic customer benefits and concrete new product solutions.

Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) combines site-wide, real-time connectivity with 3,000 precisely controlled servo axes. The telescope design boasts a resolution 10 times greater than that afforded by the Hubble Space Telescope, and moved away from building the automation solution using custom control components.
