Moxa Whitepaper – Five Key Considerations When Implementing Secure Remote Access to Your IIoT Machines

SICK: Inspector83x, AI-Powered Quality Control Made Stress-Free. Put an end to wasted material or faulty products. Put an end to long setup times or expensive reconfiguration when the product is changed. Put an end to complicated integration or data trapped on the shop floor.
Once upon a time, plant floors were isolated from the public network. But, today, all sorts of manufacturing technologies get connected to the internet, largely due to globalization and the resulting need to transfer more and more data via the web.
In today’s climate, staying connected and on top of the rapidly changing landscape in automation can be a daunting task. Information comes to us from a variety of sources and are not always delivered in a coherent and connected manner.
With electrical engineers in short supply as power distribution projects get more complex, Graybar trains GearSmart? sales reps to fill in the gaps. When a major big-box retailer expanded to Nashville a couple years ago, the contractor in charge of the project quickly spotted a missing piece in the plans.
Emerson, a provider in digital transformation solutions, recently announced it has successfully migrated the exploration data of Repsol, a global energy company, to the cloud. Cloud capabilities enable companies to securely store the data that powers vital analytics, helping optimize operations and achieve higher levels of performance.
Robotics and automation have significantly revolutionized how people work and live across a number of industries. With the increasing likelihood of a global economic recession in 2023, many industries are struggling with increasing manufacturing costs, such as labor and raw material costs, and maintaining their profit margins. The robotics and automation sector provides solutions to mitigate the issue by reducing operational costs and increasing production efficiency.
