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/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/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/its-all-about-data-security.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/its-all-about-data-security.html#commentsWed, 02 Dec 2020 11:11:15 +0100Andreas Röckhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/its-all-about-data-security.htmlSecure data exchange between production and management levels is still something of a minefield, with many aspects and security issues needing to be negotiated. Middleware has since established itself as a key component in the pursuit of seamless integration of the OT and IT domains. The following post addresses the aspects of secure cross-company communication by looking at an OPC UA-based solution from Softing.
