– BlitzFunk at LOSYCO in Automotive Production – Background LOSYCO GmbH is a specialist in industrial conveyor technology and material flow solutions. For the production line of a major German automotive manufacturer, a total of 23 rail-guided vehicles (RGVs) were deployed, each centrally controlled and responsible for transporting a vehicle through various processing stations. The […]
In modern factories and industrial environments, every millisecond counts. Reliable, low-latency wireless networks are the backbone of safe, flexible, and efficient operations. Real-time WLAN enables ultra-low latency, high-reliability communication for critical control and safety systems – from machine coordination to emergency stops. It brings mobility, flexibility, and safety to operations – all without the limitations […]
BlitzFunk is an industrial grade real-time WLAN system for highly reliable switched Ethernet communication with consistent low latency in the millisecond range. A BlitzFunk network consists of access points and clients. It serves as a drop-in replacement for existing wired installations and enables high-mobility applications like automated guided vehicles, mobile robots, overhead cranes, and other dynamic […]

SPE: The new Ethernet standard for building technology and Industry 4.0 Single Pair Ethernet – or “SPE” for short – is the new, much sought-after Ethernet standard for digitalized industry and the Internet of Things. And SPE also offers exciting prospects for building technology: Because SPE promises unhindered communication between two areas which have so […]
“Legacy OT (Operational Technology) equipment such as controllers, monitoring devices, analysers, that gather data from site assets and communicate to the monitoring servers such as SCADA systems, were based on serial communications. They employed serial ports as means of comms channel/connection to the systems. With the advancement in OT networking, serial communication has now become […]
USB Isolators protect from faults and destruction. Along with Ethernet and WLAN, USB is among the most widely used communication interfaces. Even in industrial PCs the traditional COM ports (RS232/422/485) have largely disappeared in favour of multiple USB interfaces. Ethernet network access points are by default equipped with at least 1kV of galvanic isolation to […]
Application: Discover with the Microwall – Check devices in your own network How it all started: More structure and security in the network With the Microwall, more complex network structures can be divided into several sub-nets. As a firewall router, the Microwall monitors and controls the communication between the individual network segments. This makes the […]
Automation technology most often involves hardware components from many different manufacturers combined in a system. It used to be that every manufacturer went his own way when it comes to passing process data up to the software level. This is true of both the physical communications path and the data format. To get away from […]
Can you imagine retrofitting sensors in your system, capturing signals for further processing, connecting self-contained systems to each other or incorporating additional actuators? No problem! And if needed W&T can also implement monitoring and recording of data points, creating application-specific visualisations or sending alarms for defined events. In addition they offer the ability to link […]
