Christian Nomine discusses how SCADA can overcome one of the key barriers to the digital transformation of a company’s operations.
Up-to-date and complete product data is vital for the selection of suitable components and for all subsequent steps in the life cycle of the plant. The search for and the compilation of this information can be very time-consuming. A new online offer can shorten this process, says Stefanie Westerhaus.
While the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) may provide a theoretical opportunity within an enterprise to receive all the relevant information needed, it does not, by itself, make that practically feasible in a scalable fashion, says Hermann Berg, head of Industrial IoT at Moxa Europe.
Rashesh Mody suggests that organisations focus on four key elements when using SCADA and HMI.
Charlie Walker explains how software tools are speeding up the creation of IO-Link Function Blocks to enable the capture of more valuable process data from machine controllers.
Joe Bastone explains how control engineers can ensure that their process control assets are future-proofed and have the flexibility needed to meet ever faster changing customer demands.
Control Engineering Europe spoke to industry experts to find out more about AIoT and what opportunities it might offer in industrial applications.
Ranbir Saini offers advice on how to identify and overcome SCADA vulnerabilities.
Flexible work models, contact limitations and travel restrictions, along with the steady growth of production efficiency and diversity are forcing manufacturers to change how they think. With a new version of its engineering framework and an easy-to-use and flexible cloud solution, Siemens helps its customers keep pace with industrial digitalisation trends, says Stephan Schott.
The Center of Device Development at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research has developed a fully automated checking system for bearing balls.
A comprehensive PC-based control solution has enabled a Chinese technology company to develop better-performing products more efficiently and is also helping these products to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 and the Made in China 2025 initiative.
