eWON Joins Mitsubishi Electric Automation’s e-F@ctory Alliance Program
POSTED 03/11/2014
VERNON HILLS, Ill. – eWON, which offers industrial VPN routers and Ethernet modems for remote access to PLCs and machines, is the newest member of the Mitsubishi Electric Automation e-F@ctory Alliance Program. Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. introduced the program last month as a means to help its customers within industrial plants and manufacturing facilities increase productivity and reduce total cost of ownership in their automation processes.
eWON devices allow original equipment manufacturers, systems integrators and end users to support their systems remotely. Consequently, eWON’s participation in the e-F@ctory Alliance Program gives Mitsubishi Electric’s customers greater options for anywhere, anytime access to their systems. eWON access options include remote HMI capability to monitor the machines using a built-in web server, data logging capabilities and alarming features.
As with all e-F@ctory Alliance Program products, Mitsubishi Electric has thoroughly tested the eWON solutions to ensure ease of implementation and compatibility with its own products. No programming of Mitsubishi Electric hardware is required to use eWON devices, other than setting the correct IP addresses.
“With the addition of eWON to our e-F@ctory Alliance Program, OEMs, systems integrators and end users can remotely access their systems across the globe,” said Robert Miller, senior manager, strategic collaborations and partnerships, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. “This eliminates the need for an engineer’s on-site presence to access a system, saving both time and money.”
Mitsubishi Electric’s e-F@ctory Alliance Program is a third-party referencing program with other automation hardware and software vendors that allows customers to select solutions that best solve their automation challenges. Through pre-engineered integration, the latest technologies are easier to use and more cost effective. Complete documentation, including quick start guides, sample programs and maintenance screens when required, are available for each solution, drastically reducing the time necessary to implement and maintain the solutions.
eWON joins third-party hardware and software vendors Balluff, COGNEX, LEM®, MDT Software, eWON, Kepware Technologies, Ocean Data Systems - Dream Report™, CC-Link Partner Association and Powerit Solutions® in the Mitsubishi Electric Automation e-F@ctory Alliance Program. More information about eWON remote access solutions through the e-F@ctory Alliance Program is available at the eWON page on the Mitsubishi Electric Automation website.
Automation vendors interested in joining the program, as well as OEMs, engineering managers, integrators and other factory automation professionals, are invited to visit the e-F@ctory Alliance Program page on the Mitsubishi Electric Automation web site.
