How can the data from intelligent sensors be transferred to the IT level for further processing?
This is an important question – because only those who are able to do so can successfully implement Industry 4.0 projects or predictive maintenance.
Our answer is OPC UA: Many Bihl+Wiedemann gateways have this open communication protocol. This allows them to process data from IO-Link sensors, for example.
directly to the IT world. Without OPC UA, this data flow would not be so easily accessible.
The benefits of OPC UA solutions from Bihl+Wiedemann
ASi gateways from Bihl+Wiedemann are often the first component in the automation pyramid, offering sufficient performance to deliver all data from actuators and sensors to various interfaces.
The collected data can be called up in a cloud to a local server or to a visualization tool.
- One data exchange standard for all machine and system components, meaning no merging or conversion of data is required
- Universal, horizontal integration – from diagnostics on an HMI to networking multiple factories around the world
- Relieve the fieldbus
- Certificate-based security integrated
