The development of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) opens up a large number of new application possibilities for structured cabling, which will provide new impetus for the industrial, office and data center environment and will further advance the topic of “IoE” (Internet of Everything).

Industry experts agree that the foundation of Industrial Ethernet solutions for factory automation remains laser-focused on smart connected machines, edge and cloud-based computing, the potential impact of AI technology and new products and tools that simplify the ongoing quest for IT-OT integration.

As digital transformation accelerates, factories face both opportunities and challenges. New technologies are key to increased efficiency, but implementing these technologies can be complex and requires thoughtful execution. Explore how digital factory implementations can help realize manufacturing plant efficiencies.

As plants completes the digital transition, communication with process control systems is more and more important. HIMA’s digitalization strategy for functional safety has prioritized offering the most popular industry-standard protocols for safety systems, and now includes PROFINET to handle distributed I/O.

This article highlights how Process Device Profiles can be utilized in a multi-vendor environment. The focus is on a use-case in which an operator is informed of an error, and able to take action, leading to resolution of the problem through replacement of the instrument with an alternative from another…

Moxa partners with IT consulting company to develop first condition-based monitoring system for South Korean rail system. As with any AI system, preprocessing the data gathered aboard the train is essential for CBM data analysis.

AI is highly dependent on communications from sensors, intelligent machines neural networks and other devices with neural networks. A high-bandwidth, low-latency neural network built on fast, reliable and secure Ethernet switches can keep pace with the flow of data and ensure efficient management of traffic.

A new breed of safety logic solver from Moore Industries enhances efficiency and safety for distillation columns.

Digital Transformation (DX) is a goal for manufacturers with advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, along with augmented and virtual reality, adding new possibilities. But the overall focus for industrial networks is still on speed of deployment, enhanced visibility and flexible, resilient software-defined operation.

Virtualization technology has dramatically changed the way IT resources are used, but the benefits of virtualization have yet to benefit industrial operations in any significant way. In this article, the authors describe the benefits manufacturers can expect to see by virtualizing industrial automation control (IACS) systems and solutions to get…
