No one would argue that effective communication is a hallmark of any successful team. That same principle applies to successful automated solutions, as well. Communication in an industrial environment can take on many different forms, whether it’s an automated cell’s integration with a manufacturing execution system (MES) for recording part history and serialization, or different cells being coordinated by a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, or even sensors providing real-time measurements to a machine’s control system in microseconds in order to make precise adjustments to a process. The engineering team at Intellimech applies their comprehensive knowledge of industrial and machine networks, from Ethernet-based fieldbuses to office IT networks, to make the best possible use of available technologies to successfully realize our partners’ objectives. In this article from MIT Technology Review, the performance improvement in a robotic system employing effective real-time communication is explored. Whether you have an existing automated system that you’d like to examine your options for updating or are interested in a new turnkey system that integrates seamlessly into your specific manufacturing environment, connect with Intellimech today to learn how we can help you surpass your goals.
