Industrial wireless connectors and the factory of the future
02Sep
Today’s factories demand flexible manufacturing and wireless connectivity. Manufacturers must react quickly to shifting customer needs, customisation, and short product life cycles. They require interchangeable processes and equipment that can be reconfigured, modified, and replaced easily, with maintenance-free connectors that reduce costs and downtime.
Much interchangeable factory equipment still relies on traditional physical connectors that are subject to wear-and-tear, with material costs and productivity affected.
Imagine a factory where the physical connectors have disappeared; command instructions are sent wirelessly between robot subsystems to change out toolsets and setups quickly and efficiently, increasing production speed while reducing costs. Is this the factory of some distant future?
