PS5000 Series is the highest performance industrial PC, offering flexible connectivity to a range of devices and design.
In recent years, many new manufacturing concepts have become popular, from the Internet of Things to Industry 4.0. It's safe to say that manufacturing is in a current period of major change.
In an era where it's easy to take advantage of the benefits of IT and cloud-computing, data regarding trends from markets, production, distribution, and consumption are easily accessible, making it possible to drastically reduce waste through expansion of data-driven business. This, in turn, is becoming a prerequisite for remaining competitive in manufacturing industries.
In order to utilize manufacturing data, large amounts of data must be compiled at various locations, and using a general-purpose OS such as Windows for on-site devices and equipment is a simple way to easily and accurately connect those devices.
However, many factory lines and equipment feature legacy operating systems, and directly connecting that equipment to a network can be difficult without modification.
