SOUTHERN AFRICAETHERLINE® ACCESS
Industrial network solutions for your Smart Factory
In times of Industry 4.0, Smart Factory and networked communication systems, the need for data and the requirements for data transmission are constantly growing. The efficient and reliable communication between machines and systems in production is an important success criterion for the competitiveness of smart factory buildings. Therefore, the requirements for connection solutions in production are very demanding. As a result, Ethernet, which has already become a standard in office environments, is also becoming increasingly important in industrial environments.
All networks must be able to cope with high data volumes even in harsh industrial environments and at the same time withstand external influences. In addition to reliable data transport through connectors, data cables and the corresponding accessories, the active components must also be perfectly matched to the system solutions - in the end, they determine the performance of the networks by bringing the large data volumes quickly and completely to the right destination.
When it comes to industrial communication, all components must be coordinated and fit together perfectly. As we incorporate products into our customers’ automation processes, we are constantly asked to supply innovative ideas to solve important future-oriented challenges. Therefore, we offer our customers a wide array of components and system solutions for factory, building and process automation. Our data communication solutions include complete cabling and connectivity systems for integrated networking at the sensor/actuator and control level right through to the inventory management system.
This is why we supply the right network switches for your Industrial Ethernet system under the ETHERLINE® ACCESS brand. With even simpler installation, high transmission rates in large temperature ranges and under harsh operating conditions can guarantee consistent quality.
