Special report in the Industrial Ethernet Book explores how manufacturing companies are leveraging new technology to protect machinery, networks and corporate data. Industry experts weigh in on the latest new technologies and applications.

Industrial connectors and cables are in a period of rapid innovation. Along with the emergence of Single Pair Ethernet, this new environment is creating higher demands on products is producing solutions that are offering higher data rates, increased levels of protection and options for miniaturization.

The OPC UA (IEC 62541) framework with the extensions for field exchange (OPC UA FX) specified by the FLC Initiative, in combination with underlying communication technologies such as APL, TSN and 5G, offers a complete, open, standardized and interoperable solution.

An industry expert provides a retrospective on the evolution of industry, the technology that enables it and how leaders can view their operations through a single pane of glass. As use cases and adoption of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) continue to grow, so do our capabilities of actually making effective…

Eurotech is collaborating with Infineon Technologies, Microsoft and GlobalSign to develop a ’chain of trust’ security solution for IoT device identities. The companies are working together to deliver zero touch provisioning for IoT applications, and to simplify large scale, secure roll outs of connected devices.

Technology solutions are providing companies ways to eliminate network vulnerabilities and strengthen security, bridging the gap between OT and IT and sparking widespread interest in industry. Although the focus is often on external attacks, internal threats can be just as damaging to industrial networks.

A coalition of industrial companies is working toward a single vision, and backing Single Pair Ethernet and the T1 interface with the goal of making SPE technology the infrastructure basis that will make the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 possible.

Complementary IoT solutions are filling the gap here where 5G may be costly, or when deployments simply cannot support its infrastructure. While options for IoT solutions are seemingly endless, it’s important to understand the needs of the deployment, and which solution can deliver.

New innovations in hybrid connectors expand the power transmission capabilities beyond what today’s SPE connectors can achieve using PoDL.

Single Pair Ethernet is more than just new connectors. SPE has become the connector standard for the network infrastructure of digital transformation.
