<p><span>Industry 4.0 is here. Factory managers need accurate, real-time information about production lines at all times. Traditionally, radio and serial connections are used for shop floor communication, but integration with Ethernet and SCADA automation systems can make this communication cleaner and more agile, opening up a range of new possibilities.</span></p>
The integrated IIoT solution, or Bridgemeter Industrial IoT, 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 have access to the overall quality effectiveness in real time.
Above-Net has the experience and expertise for the immediate implementation of 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 to 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 supervisors and factory managers to obtain production data in real time and much more reliably, thanks to the much greater data transmission capacity. Furthermore, ring recovery protocols ensure network redundancy. The result is increased work efficiency, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
