Factory automationThere are certain key objectives that must be dealt with in order to make the smart factories of the future operate successfully. Among the most important of these are putting effective safety mechanisms in place and maximizing security to prevent data/control breaches.

Industrial networkingIn order to disengage from the fragmented industrial networking landscape of the past, the onset of Industry 4.0 will be dependent upon end-to-end TCP/IP communication - from the sensors at the edge of networks to the cloud.

 |
Machine visionThere has been a revolution in terms of the processing capabilities involved, with more widespread utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to categorise objects, identify problems or flag any emergencies that need reacting to.

Industrial IoTIIoT networks call for the sourcing of compact power efficient devices - from sensors and wireless modules (e.g. LoRa, NB-IoT, Cat-M1, 5G), to microprocessors, security chips and memories.

Drives & controlsBy implementing variable speed drives that have high efficiency not just at full speed, but also at lower speed levels too, it will be possible to make industrial operations much more sustainable and less expensive.
|
 |
Industrial roboticsThe increased use of robotics is pushing up the output of production facilities, allowing round the clock operation. It is also enabling the offloading of monotonous tasks, so that staff can be assigned other responsibilities that are more rewarding and thereby develop new skills.

HMIsHuman machine interfaces (HMIs) are an essential part of any industrial system, enabling processes to be controlled and important information to be accessed (monitoring of different parameters, tracking of assets, etc.).
