Connected approach
12 October 2016
RS Components offers multiple solutions to help engineers exploit the numerous benefits of a smart, connected-factory approach.

By leveraging the capabilities underpinning the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 users will be able to capture, collate, decipher and disburse vital, real-time manufacturing data, enabling them to make faster, better informed and immediately actionable business decisions.
A new landing page published on the RS website shows how users can easily create a connected architecture, even when working with commodity or “dumb” products. The page details products and solutions that can read information from existing control systems, harmonise the communication protocols and make this information available to a wider network.
