This data is essential for optimizing operations via powerful business applications and has been inaccessible until now. The remedy is a versatile software solution that is scalable, cost-effective and easy to use, allowing manufacturers to extract data from their CNC controls while having the freedom to connect to higher-value applications. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/datafeed-and-successful-it/ot-integration-for-the-iiot.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/datafeed-and-successful-it/ot-integration-for-the-iiot.html#commentsThu, 20 Oct 2022 13:15:53 +0200Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/datafeed-and-successful-it/ot-integration-for-the-iiot.htmlWhen it comes to starting, operating and expanding Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, information technology (IT) architectures play a key role. For example, leveraging IT tools like innovative algorithms can help you increase your production efficiency. At the same time, you may be facing some architecture-related challenges, such as plant- and enterprise-wide deployment migrations, cloud connectivity, database integration, programmable logic controller (PLC) connectivity, security and ongoing maintenance. While these challenges are typical, until recently it was impossible to build a future-proof, enterprise-wide IT architecture that makes ongoing maintenance possible. PLCs can take decades to upgrade, while the pace at which IT architectures change is dizzying by comparison. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/simplify-machine-connectivity-to-business-apps-with-softing-edgeplug-software-for-the-siemens-industrial-edge.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/simplify-machine-connectivity-to-business-apps-with-softing-edgeplug-software-for-the-siemens-industrial-edge.html#commentsThu, 01 Sep 2022 08:54:14 +0200Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/simplify-machine-connectivity-to-business-apps-with-softing-edgeplug-software-for-the-siemens-industrial-edge.htmlAre you looking for an easy way to connect Siemens PLCs to business applications through the Siemens Industrial Edge? Softing edgePlug software products provide connectivity and deliver data seamlessly into the Siemens Industrial Edge. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/iiot-and-industrial-edge-from-concept-to-implementation.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/iiot-and-industrial-edge-from-concept-to-implementation.html#commentsWed, 26 Jan 2022 10:59:00 +0100Oriol Filló Clarethttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/iiot-and-industrial-edge-from-concept-to-implementation.htmlWhat does Industrial Edge mean? What role does it play within an IIoT architecture? And how do cloud services from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and open source container tools like Kubernetes complement this architecture and help companies improve their processes? Our blog answers these questions and shows three projects in different stages of realization. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/new-options-with-container-applications.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/new-options-with-container-applications.html#commentsWed, 30 Jun 2021 08:58:58 +0200Sebastian Schenkhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/new-options-with-container-applications.htmlContainer applications open up new possibilities for use in automation technology with many advantages. edgeConnector products from Softing’s dataFEED family offer state-of-the-art access to process data in SIMATIC S7, SINUMERIK 840D and Modbus TCP controllers. They are using a Docker container technology, enabling customers to choose between a conventional hardware gateway, middleware or a Docker container application when implementing their Industry 4.0 and IIoT applications. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/the-evolution-of-the-gateways.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/the-evolution-of-the-gateways.html#commentsWed, 20 Jan 2021 12:52:03 +0100Christopher Anhalthttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/the-evolution-of-the-gateways.htmlWhen it comes to expanding and operating innovative IoT solutions, IT architectures have a key role to play. What architectural issues arise at the interface between IT and OT, and how does this interface relate to 'edge' and 'cloud'?  If you take these questions into account during planning you can fully exploit the potential of software, IT and innovative algorithms and make your production more efficient.
