Industrial IoT

Multiple sensors and devices, one solution provider

Long cabling distances, bandwidth limitations from legacy connectivity systems, complex multi-protocol management: these are some of the intricate connectivity challenges posed by the increasing density of sensors, actuators and controllers in smart factories.

Harsh operating conditions add another difficulty level. Equipment, devices and robots are exposed to chemicals, vibration and extreme temperatures which can directly impact the functioning of IoT ecosystems’ communication platforms.

 

To work out this connectivity equation and support customers’ digital transformation, our solutions come in handy. Our offer ranges from high-performance data transmission solutions, such as fiber optic and Single Pair Ethernet, to full electronic ecosystems integrating miniaturized devices.

Production monitoring and data logging

Increasing the number of sensors and actuators on production lines in large-scale facilities and infrastructures calls for more cables and connections with various distance ranges. Fischer Cable Assembly Solutions seamlessly interconnect multiple production line modules with the rest of the organization’s network system.
