New A-Series plus industrial Ethernet device from Domino
A-series plus industrial Ethernet device
The adoption of industrial device networking, whether it is wired or wireless is on the increase as it provides the ability to interactively access, evaluate, and utilise data from networked equipment via a LAN (Local Area Network) or the internet.
Industry analysts expect the use of device networking in industrial environments to grow significantly in the next five years.
A recent ARC Advisory Group study indicates that the worldwide market for Industrial Ethernet devices is expected to grow at a CAGR of 51.4 percent over the next five years.
Whether it is within the office or manufacturing facilities, companies see automation as a way to increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and improve productivity.
In manufacturing, connecting previously isolated equipment to a network gives managers real-time access to information for improved management and decision-making.
At present, in order to monitor and maintain control of coding equipment, production and material managers must be on-site.
However, the built in Web Server on the A-Series plus enables managers to access this information remotely over their internal network using standard industrial device networking.
Production and Materials managers, aim to maintain consistent quality levels often at high production volumes. These Managers need quick access to real-time information in order to gather the information needed for decision making.
Without real-time access to information, managers must manually monitor and gather information from each machine, which is time consuming.
The A-Series plus available from Domino provides the flexibility to communicate through standard Ethernet architecture.
Equipped with printer information in real-time, managers can gain improved system performance, reduced errors and less downtime, all contributing to better product quality and improved OEE.
This monitoring, maintenance, and even troubleshooting of printers can be conducted remotely using a standard Web browser and a modem.
