Lapp Delivers Reliable Data Transmission All the Way to the Cloud

IIoT in the Smart Factory How Sensors, Networks, and the Cloud Work Together in the Smart Factory

Using a chocolate conveyor system as an example, Lapp demonstrates how sensors, cables, connectors, and network technology reliably transmit machine data from the field level all the way to the cloud.

To ensure reliable data transmission in the smart factory, sensors, actuators, cables, and active network components must be technically coordinated with one another throughout the entire system. Only then can machine data be transmitted to the cloud in an unaltered and stable manner. Lapp illustrates this interaction with an automation model that traces the digital journey of a workpiece through the industrial communication network.
