deliver connectivity solutions and more to King Steel’s Award-Winning Injection
Moulding Machines NexCell®
Edinburgh, UK (12th October,
2022) – IOTech, the edge
software company, today announced it is partnering with King Steel Machinery
Co., LTD to provide Industry 4.0 capabilities and connectivity to smart
manufacturing equipment. King Steel selected IOTech’s industrial edge
software platform to deliver real-time data acquisition, data storage, data
visualization and analytics for its award-winning NexCell® Injection Moulding
Machines.
IOTech
plug-and-play edge platform software allows users to create industrial
applications that leverage the latest advances in AI, analytics and inferencing
technologies. The edge platform enables easy data acquisition from an extensive
range of industrial OT devices/sensors to efficiently act on the data.
Transformed data or processing results can then either be sent to any SCADA or
IT/Cloud endpoints for further processing/storage. Alternatively, commands can
be sent back to the connected OT devices.
“We’re pleased
that King Steel selected IOTech’s edge software to enable its Industrial 4.0
capable smart manufacturing offerings,” said Keith Steele, CEO of
IOTech. “We make it easy for our partners and customers to connect their
equipment and manage their data regardless of the communication standards used.
It provides them the ability to create future-proof solutions that can be
easily evolved as needed.”
IOTech’s
advanced OT connectivity solutions provide simplified integration with a broad
range of industrial devices and enable the acquisition of real-time machine
data at very low latencies. Initially, King Steel requires integration with
Modbus and Siemens S7 endpoints supported by the King Steel equipment.
Normalized multi-device access is provided in form an Industry 4.0 data layer
based on the OPC UA standard with support for both client/server and
publish/subscribe communication models.
“It’s our
pleasure to partner with IOTech to provide Industry 4.0 capabilities to our
customers,” said Jim Chen, General Manager of King Steel. “Through IOTech’s
edge computing solution, we are able to create an optimum product and service
that brings significant value to our customers.”
King Steel will
demonstrate its new NexCell Injection Moulding technology powered by IOTech
edge software at the K – The World´s No.1 Trade Fair for
Plastics and Rubber. The event takes place in Düsseldorf,
Germany, October 19-26. The King Steel booth and demo will be
located at Hall 13 / B93.
