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/containerized-software-packages-simplify-machine-connectivity-for-legacy-machines.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/containerized-software-packages-simplify-machine-connectivity-for-legacy-machines.html#commentsTue, 13 Feb 2024 10:45:08 +0100Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/containerized-software-packages-simplify-machine-connectivity-for-legacy-machines.htmlLearn how containerized software packages improve the connectivity of legacy machines in manufacturing facilities. Find out about the advantages of integrating IT and OT technologies using Docker containers, and discover how Softing's edgeConnector and edgeAggregator simplify OPC UA server integration. 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/exploring-the-foundation-of-your-digital-transformation-journey.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/exploring-the-foundation-of-your-digital-transformation-journey.html#commentsWed, 15 Nov 2023 11:12:42 +0100Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/exploring-the-foundation-of-your-digital-transformation-journey.htmlDigital transformation requires businesses to merge information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT). Rethinking their relationship and their supporting technologies can go a long way toward helping businesses meet their goals. Our new blog post series explores the enabling technologies behind the digital transformation phenomenon. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/a-built-for-purpose-plc-to-database-connectivity-solution.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/a-built-for-purpose-plc-to-database-connectivity-solution.html#commentsWed, 30 Mar 2022 14:42:45 +0200Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/a-built-for-purpose-plc-to-database-connectivity-solution.htmlSystem integration using a PC and custom code can come with a lot of errors in project estimation, increase risk, cost money and possibly even put your customer at risk. Fortunately, there are built-for-purpose integration solutions that eliminate the PC, eliminate custom code, and eliminate protocol conversion for PLC-to-database and cloud integration projects. In this blog, we show you how tManager from Rockwell, an in-chassis PLC module for bidirectional data exchange between enterprise systems and ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ PLCs, does just that. https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/how-to-eliminate-it-support-for-your-ot-networks.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/how-to-eliminate-it-support-for-your-ot-networks.html#commentsTue, 11 Jan 2022 09:19:00 +0100Deane Hornhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/how-to-eliminate-it-support-for-your-ot-networks.htmlControl engineers and those in the manufacturing and the process industries worry about three things taking down their processes: the machines going down, the programmable logic controllers (PLC) or devices going down, and the network going down. This is where Phoenix Digital switches come in. Part of the Rockwell Automation Technology Partner program, these purpose-built Ethernet networking devices were designed specifically for control engineers to network PLCs and Ethernet devices in manufacturing and process environments. 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/how-to-set-up-a-transaction-manager-for-ot-it-cooperation.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/how-to-set-up-a-transaction-manager-for-ot-it-cooperation.html#commentsMon, 08 Mar 2021 20:46:40 +0100https://industrial.softing.com/news/blog/how-to-set-up-a-transaction-manager-for-ot-it-cooperation.htmlThe worlds of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) are coming together in factories around the world, each with the same goal: use digitalization to improve productivity and other business objectives. But sometimes the two worlds require some translation and teamwork so that transactions between them flow as smoothly as possible. 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.
