Control
When modernising industrial automation systems, great thought and effort is spent on increasing efficiency. The potential in controlling systems wirelessly is immense, as long as the technology meets the requirements…
In heavy automation industry the demands on wireless communication is ruthless. When starting an engine, controlling a movement or supervising processes, the demand for reliability and the fact that you have to be 100 % sure that signals are transferred in real-time have been obstacles making engineers uneasy about implementing wireless solutions; whatever the potential. This scepticism is highly questioned with the solutions that connectBlue can deliver.
