In the world of mass production, increasing productivity is an ongoing goal. Major decisions are influenced by production yields, total costs, and the flow of information. As Ethernet technology is deployed from the office to the factory floor, even higher levels of efficiency and productivity are expected.

The plant can utilize a combination of managed and unmanaged switches for direct connection between PLCs, HMIs, and peripheral devices in multiple buildings. Fiber is required in many areas because it is easier to deploy for longer distances throughout the facility.

The ship classification system offered by DNV is designed to safeguard life and property in maritime environments. Moxa’s DNV certified Ethernet Switches entail verification of a set of requirements during the design, construction, and operation of devices used on ships and offshore units.

As transportation systems everywhere are updated and overhauled, planners will turn to Industrial Ethernet as the backbone of the new infrastructure. Establishing an advanced, intelligent transportation system involves integrating data, video, and voice over IP networks to set up a surveillance management system.
