Why Manufacturing IT and OT Still Don't Talk to Each Other — And What It's Costing Your Production Floor
The IT/OT gap is not a technology problem waiting for a better technology. It is a governance and architecture problem that manufacturing leadership needs to own, with appropriate technical support, before the cost of inaction makes the decision for them.
Use Case: Building Resilient Cellular Connectivity for Modern SCADA Networks
Across utilities, water treatment facilities, manufacturing plants, renewable energy sites, and other industrial operations, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems increasingly rely on cellular communications to connect remote assets.
Why Your Smart Manufacturing Initiative Is Only as Strong as the IT Behind It
The organizations getting consistent results from their Industry 4.0 investments are not necessarily those with the most sophisticated technology. They are the ones that built the infrastructure foundation before they deployed the technology on top of it.
Addressing Patch Management Challenges of IT/OT Convergence
Manufacturing facilities that understand the fundamental differences between IT and OT systems can implement best practices that protect critical assets and maintain operational continuity.
Let's Talk Technical with Qorvo: Advancing RF Circuit Simulation
Shawn Luke recently had a "Let's Talk Technical" conversation about simulation for RF design with Mike Engelhardt, renowned physicist and analog engineer for Qorvo. Mike is well known for his contributions to circuit simulation software, including LTspice and QSPICE.
Trends in the North American Connector Market in Relation to Industrial Automation
The North American market is strategically important for Harwin, and we have recently completed a market survey of developers and buyers in this region. This captured many of the concerns facing engineers relating to connectors.
Next-Generation Private 5G for Next-Generation Industrial Automation
What I'm hearing in my daily conversations is that there is an important element that's too often left out of the automation upgrade discussion - and that's the underlying network that can make or break a successful project.
How private 5G empowers manufacturers to maximize AI use cases
While Wi-Fi networks have historically met the basic wireless connectivity needs of some manufacturing operations, they increasingly fall short in more complex, high-demand industrial environments.
Beyond the Camera: Network Choices that Impact Machine Vision Systems
As automation accelerates, understanding the network that connects hardware with software will help ensure that machine vision systems operate at their full potential.
Prioritizing Network Investment in Manufacturing
Industry 4.0 is driving major gains in efficiency, automation, and innovation. But there's a flip side: That progress depends on fast, secure, always-on connectivity. Manufacturing, in particular, is an interesting case study.
BOOSTING OIL PAD OUTPUT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PIPE CORROSION MONITORING
Corrosion and erosion gradually reduce pipe wall thickness, increasing the risk of leaks or catastrophic failures-jeopardizing personnel safety, environmental protection, and asset integrity.
Benefits and Applications of IO-Link Wireless in the Food Industry
