Industrial organizations can achieve a connectivity solution that gives them the ability for all their disparate devices, for all their disparate hardware from all the different vendors to talk, thus establishing interoperability and reliable communication. This connectivity is achievable with one leading solution, the Takebishi DeviceXPlorer OPC Server. This software is a OPC server software suite that provides connectivity with control devices in discrete manufacturing, process building automation, and control and operations environments and provides both the import of tag definitions and the related expressions in an ISA-95 hierarchical format and also combines this technology with another breakthrough in the market, the standardization of industrial names for data, thus making it a futureproofed technology. The Takebishi DeviceXPlorer OPC Server is integrated into the Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS64 software suite and IoTWorX environment and is also available separately. Additionally, it allows direct communication between GENESIS software, and other applications, with the actual physical equipment and machinery on your production floor, providing you with the ability to monitor and control your facilities, factories, and processes.

Keeping up with and understanding the technology and related terminology of digital transformation and Industry 4.0 (the fourth Industrial Revolution) might be daunting. However, if you're in industrial manufacturing or industrial processing, it’s important to know the basics and benefits of these. What follows is an explanation about the technical innovations that enable digital transformation in the context of Industry 4.0 and how all of these relate to industrial manufacturing and industrial processes.

Have you ever been in a meeting with a customer and they start mentioning how they want to implement analytics or apply machine learning algorithms to their industrial automation application? Does being in the same room as someone saying “algorithms” make you feel like you work at Google? Great. Glad to know we are in the same boat...
