HARTING have organised a series of webinars to deliver our latest industrial solutions to you. During the HARTING Experts Camp, our specialists will introduce cutting-edge products, time-saving solutions and technologies which will shape the future.
Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are creating new requirements for industrial communication. Industrial Ethernet is adaptable, flexible and perfectly suited to meet these requirements, making it a key driver of success in industrial digitalisation.
Industrial Ethernet Trends looks at the latest developments in this field and what the future holds. We will be casting the spotlight on Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), a ground-breaking new communication technology. Up until now, industrial Ethernet has only been able to reach the control level before it needs to switch to BUS systems via gateways. SPE allows equipment to connect via end-to-end IP-based communications right up into the field level. As a result, Ethernet interfaces can now be designed and integrated onto simple sensors, cameras, reading/ID devices or similar equipment.
In our next webinar on this topic, our experts will highlight the many uses of SPE and show which IIoT applications it makes possible, including examples from the fields of automation, transportation, automotive and robotics.
The topic of Miniaturisation will also be covered as we introduce the ix Industrial®, a robust Ethernet interface to provide the next generation of compact products with perfect high data transmission rates. This new connector is designed to meet the expanding data, signal and power requirements of compact sensors, cameras and automation equipment without taking up too much of the limited installation space available.
Logistics Solutions will focus on optimising processes using the latest products. HARTING experts will show you how to save time and simplify installations using pre-assembled cables. They’ll also discuss modular technology, which allows you to design connectors by combining individual modules for different transmission media, including data, signals, power and compressed air.
The second webinar in this series will focus on tracking and tracing goods and condition monitoring within logistics. UHF RFID allows you to digitally monitor the physical location of items and assets. It is extremely flexible and can be used in a variety of environments, such as hospitals to track the sterilisation history of medical equipment and within train maintenance to identify individual components such as axles or wheels.
Within logistics, RFID transponders enable you to track goods throughout the warehouse, ensure products are stored in the correct location and check that goods tally exactly with the transport order. These processes make sure the correct items are loaded onto the correct truck, helping to eliminate incorrect deliveries.
Conveyors are a key component in logistics centres and must function reliably in order to avoid downtimes. The HARTING MICA edge computing device gives you an overview of your systems and helps implement cost-saving solutions such as predictive maintenance and condition monitoring, using real-time information from the shop floor.
