Edge and Cloud: Are they Best for Processing Critical Business Data?
Data is at the heart of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Smart Manufacturing. Establishing platforms to collect and analyse this data is critical for optimising manufacturing insights into processes. The most effective…
You need to consider Mitsubishi Electric’s new E800 Inverter Drives
From one of the world’s leading manufacturers of VSDs comes the E800, a game-changing machinery drive for the new automation era. Designed for IIoT and smart machines, it handles multiple open Industrial Ethernet and…
OMRON E2E NEXT Proximity Sensors: New
Omron Automation says about 70% of unexpected production stoppages are due to component failure, with proximity sensors accounting for most of them. The Omron E2E NEXT Series of proximity sensors…
This is the technology needed to enhance process safety
Customer demand drives short production cycles and stimulates growth of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies across industries. This, in turn, is driving changes in industrial work processes, leading to changes in the…
M262 controller bolsters IIoT for performance machines
Flagship factories aside, most manufacturers are likely to take a phased approach to in introduce IIoT or Industry 4.0. The M262 controller from Schneider Electric was introduced for making the transition to smart automation…
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
