Digitization is penetrating more and more areas of industry. Technologies such as IO-Link, RFID and Ethernet dramatically increase the volume of data in the machine environment, while cloud services enable mobile global access.

But how do you extract truly relevant information from the internet of Things without overloading the network or revealing confidential content? Turck’s answer is to use networked sensors, efficient edge controllers and simple cloud solutions, in short, to take advantage of distributed automation capabilities.

　　IIoT connects two fields

With distributed processing, big data can be filtered specifically to generate intelligent data. In this way, parameters, process values ​​or status information can be used in applications in a targeted and safe manner, for example for condition monitoring. However, the end-to-end networking of sensors with higher-level IT systems (such as the cloud) opens up even more application possibilities.

For example, two-way communication enables remote access to equipment and plants, which is valuable for deployments such as global services. Furthermore, high data availability paves the way for entirely new processes in production, logistics and supply chain management. Explore Turck’s future-proof IIoT architecture, from rugged sensors, powerful I/O devices and edge controllers to customized cloud applications.
