<span>Industry 4.0 has arrived.</span> <span>Factory managers need to have accurate information, at all times and in real time, about production lines.</span> <span>Traditionally, radio and serial connections are used for communication on the factory floor, but integration with automation systems via Ethernet and SCADA can make this communication cleaner and more agile and open up a range of new possibilities.</span>
The integrated IIoT solution, or Bridgemeter , can connect to any machine or PLC in multiple locations, analyze and send information to the production manager or directly to the PLC with the best settings to maximize performance and efficiency in real time.
The machine manufacturer receives information about the suggested maintenance schedule, defective parts, while the customer can access the overall quality effectiveness in real time.
Above-Net has the experience and expertise to immediately implement a system for Industry 4.0. Through sensors and remote connections made by radio, fiber, or remote monitoring using, for example, industrial access points, LoRA equipment, PoE Switches, Serial x Ethernet Converters and Serial Servers, our solutions allow the integration of traditional serial devices and machines (RS232/ RS422/RS485) to Ethernet networks in a robust and agile way.
This modernization allows factory supervisors and managers to obtain production data in real time and in a much more reliable way, thanks to the much greater data transmission capacity. Additionally, ring recovery protocols ensure network redundancy. The result is reflected in increased work efficiency, less downtime and lower maintenance costs.
