Secure Industrial Data Sharing with MQTT.box, PLC & HMI Across Separate Networks

Industrial Automation is rapidly evolving, and secure data exchange between control systems has never been more important.   In this project, we demonstrate how the MQTT.box from German manufacturer Wiesemann & Theis (W&T) enables secure communication between an AutomationDirect PLC and an AutomationDirect HMI, even when they operate on two completely separate network segments. The […]

Industrial Real-Time WLAN for Control and Safety

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 […]
