Collecting and analyzing information from automated machinery is essential for a competitive workspace today. But how can a manufacturer take advantage of that opportunity? Rexroth’s IoT Connector is a perfect solution.
The IoT Connector currently works with connected welding controls.
- It facilitates the seamless communication of data between connected devices and systems. This involves the transmission of data to a centralized platform or cloud service where it can be processed, analyzed, and used for decision-making.The IoT connector uses two languages for this purpose.
-
Cloud Connectivity
- Integration with cloud platforms is a crucial aspect of industrial IoT. The Rexroth IoT Connector enables connectivity with cloud services, allowing organizations to store and manage data centrally, implement advanced analytics, and access insights from anywhere.
- Rexroth prioritizes robust security measures. This includes encryption, authentication protocols, and other features to protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized access. At the same time, the IoT Connector is an open system, so it’s easy to integrate into a work environment.
