挑战
今天，互操作性是一个挑战。在来自不同供应商的可编程逻辑控制器 (PLC) 之间以及与同一系统上的其他外围设备之间进行通信存在困难。
工业物联网公司依靠远程设备来控制、监控和维护其系统的健康。 RTU 或远程终端单元通过 DCS 或 SCADA 系统将遥测数据传输到 PLC，并使用来自它们的消息来控制连接的对象。例如，石油和天然气公司需要了解其管道上的压力和容量状态。他们可能需要根据条件打开或关闭阀门，操作员可以通过与 RTU 通信来完成。
当需要更新硬件时，这些公司面临的选择有限。他们可以从同一供应商那里购买更多设备，但这是有限制的。或者，他们可以从另一家制造商处购买，然后投入更多时间和金钱来重新编程他们的 SCADA 集成器。

AGM 通讯与控制
关于客户
CalAmp 的客户和合作伙伴 AGM Communication & Control 为水和废水、石油和天然气、能源和环境的分布式控制系统 (DCS) 和 SCADA（监督控制和数据采集）网络提供智能解决方案
解决方案
AGM 看到了开发一种解决方案的机会，该解决方案将提供无缝 SCADA 通信，而不管 PLC 制造商或使用的频谱如何。
为了寻找合作伙伴来帮助他们，AGM 求助于 CalAmp，后者设计和制造了一系列配备 CalAmp 开放式开发人员平台™ (ODP) 的工业路由器。 AGM 对 ODP 为其固件开发人员提供构建智能处理和自定义应用程序的环境的能力特别感兴趣，以促进网络边缘的分布式智能和本地决策。
AGM 还对 CalAmp 的 Vanguard 5530 宽带 LTE 蜂窝路由器感兴趣，该路由器支持 ODP，并为 PLC、RTU 和任何其他以太网或串行设备提供可靠的连接。 Vanguard 5530启用ODP，计算环境和智能可以推送到路由器，延伸到网络边缘。有了这些工具，AGM 开发团队着手构建嵌入式应用程序，当新的 PLC 或设备添加到现有 DCS 时，无需进行昂贵的重新编程。

Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.
Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations
