The aim of the cooperation is to develop joint offers in the field of measurement and automation technology for the process industry. This involves the integration of measuring instruments and accessories into the next generation of mobile communication networks as well as digital services based on them. Both companies have signed a corresponding memorandum of understanding and are now working on a coordinated timetable.
Endress+Hauser equipped its field devices with mobile communication modules and to connect existing installations to 5G networks via newly developed HART gateways.
