At the heart of this transformation lies the need for continuity between industrial communication platforms.

When looking at demanding applications, such as motion control, data needs to be transferred with high accuracy and reliability to meet strict cycle times.

Tom Burke, Global Strategic Advisor at the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA), looks at how Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) can help achieve seamless synchronization, accuracy and precision within complex, autonomous printing systems.

While TSN will change over time, automation vendors can benefit from considerable gains by providing innovative capabilities to their devices now and leverage firmware upgrades for future compatibility.

Time-sensitive networking can help system integrators and end users enhance deterministic and reliable communications performance. This feature originally appeared in InTech Focus: Systems Integration 2022, the InTech Focus ebook for November 2022.

Thomas Burke, Global Strategic Advisor at CLPA, looks at the latest advances and trends in TSN-compatible industrial communications.

Moxa Global Technology Partner Manager and member of the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) Chih-Hong Lin talks about the role of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and industrial Ethernet in shaping the future of industrial automation.

Protocols provide time-sensitive networking technology with the needed extra application layers for industrial automation applications.

Thomas Burke, Global Strategic Advisor at CLPA, looks at how food and beverage manufacturers can set up advanced traceability and transparency across their enterprises.

Ensuring a real-time, deterministic response is a must for next-level Smart Manufacturing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). While standard Ethernet cannot support this goal per se, different solutions have been developed to build suitable industrial communication networks. Thomas Burke, global strategic advisor for CLPA, gives an overview of the history of deterministic Ethernet technologies and how TSN can be a gamechanger in industrial communications.

Partnerships and collaboration are the foundation that enables end-users and suppliers to develop complete solutions for industrial automation and beyond.

Consumer electronics manufacturing is a fast-paced industry. To maintain and enhance their competitive edge, companies in this sector need to regularly adopt innovative technologies in their plants and their products to meet ever-evolving market demands. Currently, this means adopting smart, interconnected manufacturing approaches to create highly responsive and productive factories. To achieve such infrastructure, businesses should invest in the right industrial communications technology.
