Softing demonstrates expertise and solutions for Industry 4.0 and introduces new product families.
Under the “integrating” catchphrase, Softing will introduce solutions for digital data exchange for Industry 4.0 applications within new product families at the SPS IPC Drives 2016 show.
Products for seamless and robust digital data exchange in Industry 4.0 applications.
During the course of the re-branding which was started in the first half of 2016, Softing Industrial has restructured its portfolio into four product families. These will be presented for the first time on the newly designed stand at SPS IPC Drives in hall 7, stand 580. By using the tagline "integrating", the company presents itself as an expert for both the horizontal and vertical digital data exchange in industrial applications and as a competent partner for its customers on their way into an integrated automation in the age of Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things.
“Optimization of production processes is a relentless challenge that our customers are faced with on a daily basis – and is a challenge they must conquer to be able to survive in the future. One of the basic requirements for this is a seamless and robust digital data exchange within and between company levels. This is where we come in with our expertise and experience combined with market-leading hardware and software products,” says Wolfgang Wende, Softing's Marketing Manager.
In line with the strategic focus on the provision of data and information, Softing Industrial's services will be structured by product families:
dataFEED - delivers hardware and software products to enable data exchange in M2M communication and between OT and IT levels. The dataFEED products enable data integration - vital for Industry 4.0 applications.
dataTHINK – reached into the new area of Industrial Data Intelligence and facilitates the collection and analysis of production data and its use to improve efficiency. DataTHINK helps customers to identify patterns within their production processes via data analysis and interpretation allowing increased efficiency and insight.
dataCHECK – includes all Softing products for mobile and stationary diagnostics and network management. These ensure robust and failure-free digital communication in industrial applications.
dataFLOW – products for technology integration, gateways and interface cards. DataFLOW products integrate Ethernet communications – which is an Industry 4.0 requirement in industrial applications where different communication standards are in use.
“Our products enable and improve digital data exchange. They can be integrated seamlessly on the basis of global standards. Therefore, we are able to bridge technological gaps and enable our customers to gain maximum benefit from their Industry 4.0 and IoT applications,” says Wolfgang Wende.
