Digital intelligent factory is one of the development trends of connectors manufacturing industry information

Digitalization and intelligence have a positive impact on the manufacture of connectors.

Interconnection technology can bring significant benefits to OEM manufacturers, but the company needs to carefully evaluate their goals and existing resources, and adopt a successful digital strategy.

The digitalization of the production system can help OEM manufacturers create more efficient management supply chains and production processes, and better track the supply chain, inventory and finished products. When machinery and factory engineering companies consider achieving the IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) protocols to achieve these goals, they may worry that digital technology will bring disruptive changes to existing business models. However, this change is essential for achieving new growth, higher quality levels and better customer service. The fierce competitive market has made many OEM manufacturers have no choice but to accept emerging digital technology. The interconnected industrial system may bring positive disruptive changes to their business.

Connector

With the development of enterprises in the direction of the IoT (IIOT) solution, a series of strategic steps must be adopted to achieve successful digital transformation at a minimum cost.

First, let's take a look at the participants of this industry.

OEM manufacturer

Provide a separate machine module or complex production machine and system. Equipment has strong functions and can usually expand digital Internet of Things components and services.

Supplier of Automated Parts

Automated component suppliers provide specialized digital systems, including programmable logic controllers (PLC), computer CNC software, industrial personal computers, human -machine interface (HMI) software, driving system, measurement technology, and digital signals and digital signals and The controller -based system directly controls the sensor of the machine and the process.

Software providers for production control

Software providers for factory/enterprise production control provides enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution system (MES), and similar management software systems for controlling business processes and processing a large amount of data. However, they rarely access data related to machines and processes directly.

Platform providers with new business models

The new business model platform suppliers still have very few representatives in the field of capital and commodity, although there are well -known companies in the business and consumer fields (such as Amazon). These platform providers provide subscribing models (for example, paid, monthly payment, and paid by unit), and may establish their own position in the market in the market in serving the OEM model.

Hardware supplier

Hardware suppliers specializing in digitalization of industrial process, including Hardin Technology Group, provides advanced hardware solutions for all connection systems and interfaces. These interfaces are crucial in the control, driver, HMI and communication technology of the production system.

Association and cooperation of digital and information IoT

The Association of Digital and the Internet of Things establishes a strategic alliance between mechanical engineering and software companies, and pursues the creation of an open IoT environment and corresponding standards that are open to software and communication technology.

Users/operators of machines and factories

Users/operators of machines and factories have the most powerful professional knowledge in production machines and related factory technology. They will see the potential effects and changes caused by digitalization.
