The rise of Industry 4.0, the new digital industrial technology Today the manufacturing scene in India mainly comprises of small and mid-end capital good industries

What is Industrial Automation? Automation helps save a lot of time and effort and at the same time, it helps get a job done more accurately.

What is Product Engineering? The term product engineering refers to the development of a product from concept to manufacturing and release of the product to the market.

Industrial Internet of Things or IIoT refers to interconnected instruments, sensors

An Introduction to Industrial Automation Communication Protocols Techopedia defines industrial communication protocols as “formal descriptions of digital message formats and rules.” These protocols are integrated in hardware systems as well as software programs. The core function of communication protocols is to send and receive messages between different systems, devices, or software programs. Communication protocols are […]

Role of Artificial Intelligence in Industrial Automation For many people, Artificial Intelligence(AI) means robots performing complex human tasks in sci-fi movies. Actually it is partially true. Whatever AI offers to the world is allowing the industrial machines to carry out super intelligent tasks. As the global industries and decision makers are facing new challenges, there […]

Manufacturing industries have evolved drastically over the last decade or so. With the advancements in technologies, manufacturers are aggressively adopting IT/OT convergence tools. Embedded systems, be in in the form of a small smart sensor, or a PLC/DCS, HMI, or an edge device are staring to play a more prominent role. Located in the lower […]

Industrial automation systems use Ethernet application layers technologies like EtherNet/IPTM and Profinet which often have issues related to bandwidth and payload. To overcome these shortcomings, Beckhoff Automation, a German automation company came forward with a Fieldbus system called the Fast Light Bus. This eventually evolved into EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology), which was launched […]

Industrial revolution 4.0 has already set in, and industrial automation is a profound part of it. One of the crucial aspects of implementing a successful automation ecosystem in any industry is seamless communication between devices. For a long time, the traditional field buses like PROFIBUS, HART, FF, Modbus and a few others have been the […]

The current wave of the industrial revolution, also known as the Industrie 4.0, has proven to improve the production process in various aspects. To realize the promised benefits, a strong communication protocol that allows semantic interoperability among interconnected devices is needed. In manufacturing industries where processes are greatly dependent on the industrial sensors and actuators, […]

IO-Link – an integral part in the Industrial Automation As more devices are interconnected at the factory level, the automation process greatly depends on seamless communications between devices from the shop floor such as sensors and actuators to the control systems like PLCs, and others. To ensure this, IO-Link is one of the first standardized […]
