Experts from the FieldComm Group, Moxa and Yokogawa explain where the merger of operations technology and information technology networks is headed and how manufacturers can assess the appropriateness of IT on the plant floor.
MERLIC 5.7 brings intuitive machine vision to industrial automation. With runtime-only plugin control, Linux support, and container-ready deployment, MERLIC helps you implement robust solutions faster and more flexibly than ever.
The Purdue Model has provided a hierarchical structure for industrial communications to keep computing and networks deterministic. But in the age of IoT, data flow is no longer hierarchical. So what model should industry use now?
Though data analytics-driven artificial intelligence in machine vision systems is most commonly applied in manufacturing quality control applications, generative AI also plays a role. Here’s how.
When you think of Bluetooth, it’s probably more about connecting your headphones to a smartphone, laptop or stereo amplifier. But its potential for use in industrial device communications has become stronger with Bluetooth LE.
Despite the increased use of message brokers in communication methods such as MQTT, there remain plenty of industrial network setups that directly poll controllers for data. Here’s how to reduce the performance impact on your PLCs if message brokers are not used on your network.
