Since every decision a company makes is driven by data, in many ways, data is the backbone of modern businesses. In recent years, manufacturing companies around the world have recognized the tremendous value of their data. They understand that they can use this data to improve their operational efficiency, reduce their costs, and meet their sustainability goals. This is why we have heard so much about digitalization in manufacturing in the last few years. Digitalization promises to allow manufacturing companies to leverage the data that they produce to improve their decision-making. Although manufacturing companies recognize the value of their data, they have struggled to access and leverage the data that their control systems produce. The biggest hurdle to accessing their data is the multitude of proprietary fieldbus systems that are used by control systems. In this video, we will explain how Single-Pair Ethernet is being applied to industrial automation to provide a robust, Ethernet-based connection from the sensor to the cloud. Single-Pair Ethernet, also known as SPE, is one of the most exciting topics in industrial automation today. Many people believe that SPE will be the backbone of the IIoT revolution because of its ability to provide easy and secure access to the data that was previously difficult to access in control systems. Traditionally, industrial communication technologies, also known as fieldbuses, have been built on proprietary hardware and software. But automation technology has taken big leaps forward in the last few years. In modern automation systems, we have more connected devices producing more data than ever before. As Industry 4.0 continues to become a reality, we will see more processes automated with intelligent devices and smart sensors. These devices will produce even more data than what companies are dealing with today. To accommodate these increased levels of connection, the automation industry needs a modern network that can handle larger amounts of data being transferred at higher speeds to more connected devices with easy data access. In recent years, advances in Ethernet technology have reduced the price and increased the speed of data transmission. Because of these advances, industrial ethernet networks have largely replaced proprietary communication technologies like ControlNet and Profibus. The advantage of industrial ethernet networks is that they can easily communicate with IT systems without additional gateways and leverage the built-in security features available on Ethernet networks. Single-Pair Ethernet is the most promising technology on the market that can finally provide ethernet communications all the way through the automation pyramid from sensor to cloud. Innovative companies like Weidmüller are using their experience with industrial hardware and connectors to bring SPE technology to the industrial automation industry. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkguU-AAi9ik4Cb2wJtXlSw ============================= To learn more about SPE, check out the links to the Single-Pair Ethernet System Alliance’s website and Single-Pair Ethernet Use Cases page: https://singlepairethernet.com/ https://singlepairethernet.com/en/references/use-cases/ These websites will give you a better understanding of the capabilities and applications of SPE right now.
