Open IIoT’s panel joins forces to bring a demo system to life for AUSPACK 2019

Industry 4.0 / IOT

With collaboration being one of the leading drivers for the 4th industrial revolution and IIoT, the purpose of Open IIoT’s live demo system at AUSPACK 2019 is to emulate exactly this.  

Beyond human interaction, collaboration now reaches across all automation components – at the very edge of the production system! Through the physical layer, we now have the ability to collect data, monitor the condition of components and systems, diagnose and pre-empt faults before they occur and most importantly, enable the system to respond with dynamic changes.

The Open IIoT panel, comprising of SMC, ZI-Argus, Beckhoff Automation, Balluff and NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has now built a live demo system to showcase how their joint forces can work together to build a complete IIoT integrated system for an end-user. By combining their expertise and components, this system will circulate various sized boxes based on their size, colour, texture, RFID and external labelling.

Key areas such as predictive maintenance, energy savings, horizontal and vertical networking, dynamic changes and data analytics will be brought to light through this unique creation.

Open IIoT will also be giving away a free Industry 4.0 factory readiness audit to one lucky customer.
