How can a manufacturer ensure its IIoT assembly lines are properly connected? Use control- and field-level automation equipment with interfaces that meet the latest communication standards.
Assembly technology is wonderful, but it is not perfect. In some way, each technological process has a downside.
Frequently, the problem is related to connectivity setup, be it for simple machines, or the state-of-the art equipment used by manufacturers implementing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in one or more of their plants. In the latter case, the challenge level is directly related to how many machines, controls, actuators, tools and sensors need to be connected.
