Helping you build IIoT solutions for a smarter world.
Users of industrial machinery are increasingly demanding to know more insight as to their equipment's performance. This could be to monitor and manage energy usage, or regarding insight and control of operational parameters.
For equipment makers or machine builders, it is getting a lot easier to address these needs with IIoT solutions within your end-product. This allows you to add more value to your equipment and differentiate your offer from your competition.
Here you will find practical advice on making IIoT a key part of your solution, along with a selection of equipment and components from our range to help your implementation.
We've pulled together a selection of sensors, connectivity and safety products and solutions from across our range to make sure that you have all the important tools, technologies and information at place.
Based on insight from manufacturers and IIoT pioneers, we’ve listed six steps to consider when in pursuit of the connected factory.
Joseph da Silva, Chief Information Security Officer at RS Group PLC offers his view on how to ensure your IIoT implementation is as secure as it can.
Success in the use of the IIoT demands more than just technology. A mature strategy for its adoption acknowledges the presence of some of the wider organisational challenges. We discuss them here.
IO-Link enables additional sensor performance and status data to be released and shared via gateways to Ethernet and more widely to the internet.
The essential technology at the core of IIoT to get data from sensors, devices and controllers on the factory floor - often via Ethernet - to the cloud.
