The Otosense SMS technology solution consists of an edge device called Smart Motor Sensor (SMS), Android and iOS mobile applications to provision the device, web dashboards to visualize the data, and AI based analytics and REST API services hosted in the cloud.

A Rapid Roaming enhanced WIFI client monitors surroundings and prepares new access points (APs) before die-down and drop-off connection processes take place. Protocols are used to seek a new AP when communication is healthy, assuring throughput and faster transitions and switch times.

New automation and machine control networking solutions include direct integration of OPC UA Pub/Sub for real-time communication, a server inference engine for increasing machine learning requirements and a TwinCAT/BSD Hypervisor that increases availability through integrated virtual machine environments.

Looking at industry and the need for fully Ethernet-based networks, Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) offers a promising solution. SPE only requires two wires to transfer data and power and is designed in a way that, over an entire network, all machines can talk in the same language.

Networking technology is factoring into current trends shaping industrial transformation, but connector innovations in particular are playing a special role. The focus is on reliable “All for Ethernet” solutions for industrial applications, and meeting the challenges of the future with connectivity options.

A completely decentralized automation platform brings devices into the field without control cabinets. Vario-X combined with Digital twin technology saves time and money in all phases of an automation and control project: from planning to installation, operation and service.

Connectivity solutions are at the heart of advances in automation and machine control networking. This special report provides the perspective of industry experts, and how meeting cybersecurity requirements and concerns has come forward as a front and center issue for automation connectivity technologies.

A new holistic technology covers all aspects advancing the use and connectivity of smart motors. Offering a solution from the field level to the cloud, using a single source, it aids the rapid development of decentralized control programming and IIoT solutions.

Single-pair Ethernet (SPE) is a megatrend in automation technology. Using a simple twisted-pair cable as the communication medium offer potential for cost reduction and space savings, But there is also the potential to continue use already installed bus cables to modernize and upgrade existing plants and machines by integrating functions…

Digitalisation provides solutions for all types of data interfaces in the modern drive, control, HMI and communication technology used in production systems. Industrial Ethernet is playing a key role in shaping and designing various standards on the physical layer and solutions using Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology.
