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 […]

Com-Server provide serial interfaces over the network. Virtualizing computer systems is sensible in many cases for reasons of both cost and security. However, if the virtualized system is communicating with serial devices (e.g. medical/weighing/measuring technology or wind power/photovoltaic systems etc.), there is the problem that the usual virtualization platforms provide insufficient support. But the network […]

It is easy to install and the perfect Mosquitto broker solution for small to medium size applications. LEARN […]
It was great to catch up with W&T in Wuppertal, Germany on a typical cold and snowy day just before Christmas – a contrast to the warmer weather back in Australia 🙂 A big thank you Patrick and Tobias for showing me around and meeting the rest of the W&T support team. It was great […]
The MQTT.box from Wiesemann & Theis (W&T) is a Mosquitto MQTT broker for DIN rail mounting. It can operate as a standalone Mosquitto MQTT broker in the network and enables secure communication between network-capable automation components using MQTT protocol. The unique feature of MQTT is that two communication partners exchanging data with each other never […]
IT security for operative technologies. Industrial manufacturing is based on the pillars of information and operational technology: in short, IT and OT. IT tasks include data processing and strategic planning of production on the company level, whereas OT handles specific control of the individual production lines and equipment. Both areas work towards the same company […]
According to current research a significant fraction of coronavirus infections are due to aerosols, small liquid droplets. These microparticles are present in our surroundings when we breathe, laugh, speak and of course cough. Because of their very light weight they can remain suspended in the air for long periods of time and contain potentially infectious […]
