Adapting Ethernet to Accelerate Industry 4.0

On May 19, 2023 in All, Automation, General, Industrial, IoT, Robotics, Sensors by Steven Keeping

Industry 4.0 promises to revolutionize the factory through smart technology. Yet it can be expensive to install, scale, and maintain. A new form of Industrial Ethernet, using single twisted pair cables, promises to cut costs and ease installation while also promising interoperability across design, procurement, and manufacture.
