One customer, a leading provider of turnkey material handling systems in the USA, provides automated conveyors and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to large factories producing corrugated, folding cartons, and bottles and cans. Their key requirement is building a highly reliable system to ensure nonstop plant operation. In this project, the Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP programmable logic controller […]
For factories to perform their tasks efficiently and optimise production, automated material handling systems (such as AS/RS and AGV) need the flexibility to move around on their designated paths in a factory without obstruction while maintaining constant communication with the control centre through a wireless network. Additionally, the control centre needs a reliable wireless network […]
Industries are adopting the industrial internet of things (IIoT) to interconnect production equipment, machines, and applications across operations technology (OT) and IT networks. By leveraging powerful cloud services and edge computing solutions, IIoT applications can transform large volumes of collected data into actionable intelligence that can drive optimisation and predictive maintenance in smart industries, smart […]
Moxa is developing industrial internet of things (IIoT) gateways that integrate Microsoft Azure IoT Edge, thereby strengthening its promise to accelerate the convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). The instalment of Azure IoT Edge in Moxa’s IIoT gateways will provide Microsoft Azure customers with an easy-to-use solution to extend their IT infrastructure […]
Moxa’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) gateways can provide the computing backbone required for solar energy storage and monitoring.

In the industrial automation world, business owners who follow the industrial internet of things (IIoT) trend are able to optimise operational efficiency and maximise profits. In order to achieve this, reliable connectivity between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) must be ensured. Moxa offers comprehensive industrial edge to-cloud connectivity solutions that accelerate convergence of […]
When many Modbus devices need to be monitored and controlled, engineers usually have to spend much time planning the topology of these devices and segmenting them into different subgroups. Moreover, they are also weighed down by the mundane task of keying in hundreds of Modbus slave IDs to set up each Modbus gateway’s slave ID […]
Moxa has launched its new rackmount chassis media converter for high-density applications, such as passenger information systems and advanced traffic management systems. With its modular design, Moxa’s TRC-2190 series provides 18 slots for Ethernet-to-fiber management modules, which may also be used as standalone devices at field sites. The TRC-2190 features a fanless design, making […]
To increase production efficiency and reduce system down time, smart factories rely on Industry 4.0 technology for connecting sensors and other devices to collect and analyse data and control equipment. As data accuracy is the key to achieving the goals of a smart factory, a reliable and secure data connection and acquisition infrastructure is […]
