Let's take a closer look at why OPC UA is important for digital transformation and which key technologies use this powerful standard for seamless data exchange. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/get-to-know-datafeed-opc-suite-and-elevate-your-business-with-convenient-it/ot-integration.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/get-to-know-datafeed-opc-suite-and-elevate-your-business-with-convenient-it/ot-integration.html#commentsTue, 12 Dec 2023 11:44:46 +0100Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/get-to-know-datafeed-opc-suite-and-elevate-your-business-with-convenient-it/ot-integration.htmldataFEED OPC Suite enables you to conveniently and easily extract and consolidate your process data for use in modern Industry 4.0 solutions. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/easily-connect-the-cloud-to-siemens-plcs-with-softing-edgeconnector-modules.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/easily-connect-the-cloud-to-siemens-plcs-with-softing-edgeconnector-modules.html#commentsWed, 09 Mar 2022 10:55:00 +0100Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/easily-connect-the-cloud-to-siemens-plcs-with-softing-edgeconnector-modules.htmlSofting has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft® Azure to offer industrial edge connectivity solutions that you can deploy from the AWS or Azure cloud. We show you how to quickly and securely connect machines, PLCs and devices to cloud-based Industrial IoT solutions in a typical brownfield project using our connectivity modules for the Industrial Edge. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/smart-extension-for-legacy-process-plants.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/smart-extension-for-legacy-process-plants.html#commentsMon, 21 Feb 2022 13:43:20 +0100Christopher Anhalthttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/smart-extension-for-legacy-process-plants.htmlAs the digital transformation takes hold of the process industry, many companies are facing the challenge of reconciling innovation and continuity. In response to this, NAMUR (the User Association of Automation Technology in Process Industries) has developed the NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA) model, which brings plant optimization through IT/OT integration within reach for the process industry. In this blog, we present a range of NOA-compliant products that process plant operators can use to extend their plant in compliance with NOA to directly reap the benefits of modern IT applications. 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/explore-secure-integration-server-a-secure-flexible-opc-ua-based-it/ot-integration-solution.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/explore-secure-integration-server-a-secure-flexible-opc-ua-based-it/ot-integration-solution.html#commentsWed, 08 Dec 2021 12:35:32 +0100Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/explore-secure-integration-server-a-secure-flexible-opc-ua-based-it/ot-integration-solution.htmlOwing to the explosion of the Internet of Things, the number of OT/IT applications increases, and so too does network complexity. Having an abstraction interface can go a long way toward reducing this complexity. Our Secure Integration Server (SIS) is one such example that provides a layer that simplifies management between the OT and IT domains based on the OPC UA standard. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/centralized-secure-data-integration-for-iiot-capable-applications.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/centralized-secure-data-integration-for-iiot-capable-applications.html#commentsThu, 04 Nov 2021 10:51:16 +0100Andreas Röckhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/centralized-secure-data-integration-for-iiot-capable-applications.htmlFor companies with global production sites, centralized secure data integration is the key factor for competitiveness, progress and safeguarding their existence. After all, the operating data from thousands of programmable logic controllers must be integrated, aggregated and securely processed - especially in view of future Industrial IoT applications. Softing offers professional and reliable solutions, as a case study from a customer shows. 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.
