The changing role of the industrial control engineer
Industrial control technology has evolved at a manageable pace over last twenty years, but that time has come to an end. Producers recognising the benefits of new technologies want to capitalise on new forms…
Edge data brings flexible control to manufacturers
The evolution of manufacturing to the smart factory, means factories filled with sensors collecting data for optimising performance. These cyber-physical systems mean that rather than relying on a single machine, businesses now have networks…
Securing IIoT deployments is critical
Connectivity is at the heart of Industry 4.0 and IIoT implementations, and securing IIoT deployments from cyber-attacks is critical to this. A successful cyber-attack on an IIoT system can result in the loss of…
Edge computing delivering operational intelligence
In an increasingly competitive business environment, producers need flexibility, increased productivity, the capability to improve efficiency and reduce downtime. Mitsubishi’s Chris Evans argues that meeting these requirements needs a focus on connected production systems,…
Addressing OT cyber security in manufacturing.
Introducing IIoT to your manufacturing means better connectivity and improved productivity. It also increases the number of gateways into your OT systems. More gateways mean more points vulnerable to OT
