In addition to providing access to a device’s process variables, the protocol also supports device parameter setting and advanced diagnostics. HART-IP will therefore play an important role in enabling the Industrial Internet of Things in process plants. Softing supports HART-IP technology and offers an NOA-compliant gateway with its smartLink DP product. https://industrial.softing.com/us/news/blog/plant-asset-management-in-the-process-industry.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/us/news/blog/plant-asset-management-in-the-process-industry.html#commentsMon, 22 Mar 2021 09:18:35 +0100Thomas Hilzhttps://industrial.softing.com/us/news/blog/plant-asset-management-in-the-process-industry.htmlField devices in modern plants in the process industry can give operators detailed information about the condition of the plant. The collected data helps in planning preventive maintenance work and in optimizing production processes. Together with the US company Emerson, Softing has developed connectivity solutions to help customers use this data to improve plant productivity and increase lifecycles
