Artificial intelligence is being applied in industrial controls, but manufacturers need to know where their data is processed and who has access to it.
Ever notice how ChatGPT or CoPilot saves all your AI chats? While this can help solve future problems more quickly, private data accumulated from an OT system saved on the public internet is a disaster waiting to happen. Fortunately, in most cases AI is embedded in the process and data stays private and protected.
With support for all major industrial Ethernet protocols, the GA501 eliminates the need for additional hardware, reduces installation time and simplifies system design.
It used to be that if you used one particular vendor’s automation products or sensors, you were locked in forever. With today’s open standards-based networks, users are no longer locked in and can shop around for sensors, industrial PCs, PLCs and industrial network devices.
It wasn’t that long ago that maintenance systems were an afterthought to control systems. Today, sensors and software focused on maintenance run on edge-based equipment in parallel with control systems, letting manufacturers plan for processing and maintenance in an orderly and sensible way.
This solution supports Profinet CC-A and Ethernet/IP networks with features including Quality of Service (QoS), broadcast storm protection and LLDP filtering.
With the rushed production schedules at plants, having key process information is not the only data needed, but key device data allows scheduled maintenance.
The new award is one of products of the SAVE FOOD Initiative to create global networks, awareness, programs and competitions that can help fight food loss and waste.
Connectivity provides manufacturing plant operations many advantages like increased productivity, faster identification and remediation of quality defects, and better collaboration across functional areas. However, this connectivity is dramatically increasing smart factories’ vulnerabilities and leaving them exposed to cybersecurity threats.
