OPC UA TSN: Bridging The IT/OT Divide in Factory Automation
Originally Recorded June 21, 2018 | 2:00 PM ET
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Factory automation to date has been limited by the divide between IT and OT networks. While IT networks focus on security and data management, OT networks are optimized to produce deterministic response times for automation. The emergence of new IEEE Ethernet standards coupled with Gigabit Ethernet technology have now paved the way to securely and efficiently merge IT and OT. Powered by TSN and the OPC UA data modeling capability this combination of technologies allows real-time deterministic communications across a secure network that meets the needs of the most stringent IIoT requirements. This webinar addresses how this technology may be adopted by device manufacturers, end users, and OEMs.
