The integration of Rheonics’ inline SRV (viscosity) sensors with IO-Link digital communication replaces infrequent snapshots with a constant stream of process data, enabling sub-second control loops to maximize paint finish quality required by high-volume automotive OEM manufacturing.
Assa Abloy is known the world over for its class-leading access solutions, in applications ranging from hotels, through shopping malls and commercial premises, and onto highly demanding industrial safety applications. And it is in this latter application that it deploys PROFIsafe.
In the manufacturing of battery cells, every detail matters; even the smallest deviations jeopardize their quality and the throughput of the systems. Therefore, every processing step must be perfectly executed. An ideal task for PROFINET IRT and PROFIdrive.
Accretech SBS specializes in developing precision process control devices primarily for grinding machines. Their successful implementation of PROFINET using the Community Stack demonstrates that community-supported solutions can meet the basic requirements for inclusion in the expansive PROFINET ecosystem.
Read about six case-studies of machine builders and mechanical engineering firms integrating PROFINET into their systems and the results achieved. Spoiler alert: higher throughput, reduced defects, and increased efficiency.
Fagus-GreCon, a manufacturer of fire prevention technology, and MESCO Engineering, have created an innovative, highly integrated system that relies on SPE, PROFINET and PROFIsafe.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation has implemented S2 redundancy for their PROFINET Communication Module by adopting Hilscher’s comX embedded module, thereby improving the availability of process control plants.
Investment castings are one of the most popular production methods for metal parts today. A key step in investment casting is the preparation of the ceramic shell for metal pouring. The shell is prepared by dipping parts made of wax into a ceramic slurry. Learn how PROFINET is revolutionizing this process.
