Molex I The Automation Connectivity Toolbox: A Solutions Guide for Intelligent Industrial Systems

Online, On Demand

Live Presentation Date: October 31, 2023 

Overview

The industrial automation and manufacturing marketplaces are experiencing unprecedented growth driven by the need to compensate for labor shortages and a global economic transformation that is being facilitated by digital and smart technologies. To meet these challenges, manufacturing companies seek production systems that are easier to install and maintain and are more flexible and scalable. Device manufacturers are designing products that increasingly employ plug and play wiring, network connectivity, and distributed control technology. This is a great fit for Molex’s Industrial Solutions Business Unit. We introduced plug and play wiring technology to the industrial marketplace and have been a leading innovator and supplier of this technology for over fifty years. Additionally, our industrial communication technology connects industrial devices to control networks, which enables them to transmit device status and production related data to the broader control system.

During this webinar, we will explore the common automation system wiring requirements, the industrial connectors that are needed to support them, and the communication protocols available from Molex that will help device manufacturers, machine builders, and integrators support the common requirements of today’s automation systems.
