Edge computing is key to optimising data-driven activities, supporting the implementation of innovative digital technologies and ultimately the creation of the Connected Industries of the future. It allows data processing to take place close to the source, turning key data into actionable information.

The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) is expanding its support for automation vendors, machine builders and users in Italy. With the appointment of Alberto Griffini as Business Developer, the organisation is addressing the country's growing demand for the CLPA's open network technologies.

As a Platinum sponsor of the Innovative Car Manufacturing (ICM) Summit 2022, the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) will showcase the benefits of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology for automotive manufacturing. Attendees to the ICM Summit, which will take place on 21st March, will be able to learn how TSN can advance their operations to drive up productivity and efficiency.

The digitalisation of industrial processes is fundamental for businesses to thrive in a market that is ever more demanding and where competition is fierce. With a plethora of innovative technologies available, driving this transformation with a sustainable strategy is key.

Businesses driving their digital transformation journeys are demanding access to all data in their manufacturing systems. This requires the combination of IT and OT networks, selecting Ethernet as a backbone, and enabling automation devices with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) communications.

The Connected Industries of the future are taking shape and turning into a reality thanks to Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). After being incorporated in forward-looking industrial Ethernet technologies, such as CC-Link IE TSN, this solution can now be applied to a variety of automation devices by leveraging a broad development ecosystem.

Automation device vendors need to keep pace with the latest technologies more than anyone else in order to deliver competitive products that address market requirements. As an enabler for Industry 4.0 applications, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is quickly becoming a must-have to deliver state-of-the-art connectivity.

The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) has passed a significant milestone in its aim to promote and advance state-of-the-art open industrial communications technologies.

The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) will participate online in the SPS – smart production solutions event via the ‘SPS on air’ digital platform to emphasise the role of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) in digital transformation. From 15th November until 3rd December 2021, the organisation will showcase how its latest technology, CC-Link IE TSN, can deliver unmatched visibility and convergence for futureproof, data-driven applications. This is achieved by combining open gigabit Ethernet and TSN.

The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) will showcase why European manufacturing needs to embrace the possibilities offered by Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) at the 17th Annual European Manufacturing Strategies (EMS) Summit.
