The challenge – the complex web of manufacturing equipment Car manufacturing facilities often resemble scenes from the “Where’s Waldo?” puzzle book, as they’re always filled to the brim with diverse equipment that demands non-stop meticulous management as well as supervision. With a staggering global production of 85 million vehicles in 2022 alone , it is evident that the control and oversight of such immense manufacturing capacities cannot rest solely on human shoulders. Automation is a must. A car assembly line relies on a complex web of sensors, cameras, robotic arms, and a programmable logic controller (PLC) to ensure that vehicles roll off the line without any substandard surprises. Any failure of these devices to quickly signal a halt in the manufacturing process can lead to costly production delays, wasted time, and inefficiency. Considering the sheer amount of equipment involved in vehicle manufacturing lines, automation of these facilities must be thoroughly planned and executed to uphold high-speed and precision-driven manufacturing processes. While it’s well-known that all these end devices require network connectivity to operate seamlessly, it's equally crucial to recognise that each equipment requires granular control, has different data transmission priorities, and, most importantly, must uphold imperative M2M communication. Enabling this amount of control in networking solutions is beyond the reach of unmanaged switches. But guess what can rise to the challenge? The Teltonika Networks TSW212 managed switch. Topology The solution – a managed switch to save you from the web The TSW212 managed switch is exactly what this challenge calls for. It’s an 8-port managed switch that’s been specifically created to act as a reliable intermediary, transmitting precise data across a diverse range of equipment. It provides exceptional control over each device’s function and performance within the networking solution’s ecosystem. But let’s see in greater detail how this looks in practice. This managed switch is notorious for its port management and QoS services. These allow you to reduce latency, give priority to essential data, and allocate more bandwidth to robotic arms and PLCs, ensuring they promptly report their status. Additionally, features like port mirroring and isolation enhance the system’s efficiency by enabling network segmentation and assured data transmission, which improves overall efficiency and data flow. With its built-in din rail mount, the switch can be effortlessly affixed anywhere along the manufacturing lines, allowing flexible adaptation to network infrastructure needs. So by installing multiple TSW212 managed switches throughout the facility, you can seamlessly interconnect every switch with each assembly line cameras, proximity sensors, position sensors, quality control devices, HMIs, robotic arms, and PLC. All within a unified system using Ethernet ports. To establish access to all managed switches and end devices, a high-speed fibre optic cable can be used to interconnect this infrastructure with the control room, ultimately enabling granular management capabilities across all endpoints. The TSW212 managed switch supports an array of industrial protocols, like EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and MRP, to ensure that the vast majority of industrial equipment can instantaneously exchange data with each other. This is vital for when you must ensure the highest-level efficiency of your solution. The EtherNet/IP protocol enables real-time communication capabilities and facilitates the integration of all facility equipment into a single network. This protocol forms the essential infrastructure for achieving the desired level of M2M communication, which is a significant step towards enhancing the overall efficiency of the car manufacturing facility. The Profinet protocol functions as a facilitator for each end device to rapidly integrate and synchronise data exchange between each robotic arm so that they all perform with the greatest precision and accuracy. Profinet also enables you to configure automated data processing, which minimises human errors, ensures consistent data readings and analytics, and streamlines compliance with industry regulations as well as reporting requirements. The prowess of the Profinet protocol becomes evident when position sensors installed along robotic arms quickly check and ensure accurate movement and alignment, simultaneously sending this data to the PLC. If a robotic arm deviates from its predefined movement paths, the position sensor instantly relays this information to the PLC. In response, the PLC commands the robotic arm to stop until control room administrators address the issue. This level of automated data processing truly represents precision like never before. Importantly, playing a significant role in this solution is the MRP protocol, facilitating MRP systems between TSW212 managed switches. This protocol establishes a ring topology among the Ethernet switches, allowing for automatic rerouting of data transmission if one managed switch goes offline or is in a rebooting stage. With MRP systems, you’re granted continuous network connectivity across the entire setup, which is vital for networking solutions like this one. The TSW212 managed switch offers multiple benefits: from port management and QoS services to supporting vital protocols for industrial applications that enable automated data processing and ring topologies. Simply put, this managed switch encompasses everything such a challenge might require. LIKE THIS STORY? Share it with friends! Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Copy link GOT A QUESTION?

The challenge – when maintenance isn’t optional The fuel-powered generator market is expansive and shows no signs of slowing down. Expected to reach a global value of $74.1 billion by 2032 , generators will continue to be a popular power source in the coming years. This is particularly relevant in South Africa, where frequent power outages and load shedding perpetuate the ongoing energy crisis. Since such generators are and will continue to be high-demand products, ensuring their longevity and operational efficiency is non-negotiable. But this is where things get complicated. Generators are complex devices that involve electrical, mechanical, and electromagnetic components. All of these components must be maintained to prevent one malfunctioning part from damaging another. Indeed, if not taken care of, this could lead to a series of unfortunate events, as unmaintained generators can become potential fire hazards or sources of environmental contamination by releasing poisonous gases. All this stems from a root cause: the lack of generator maintenance posing risks to the solutions it powers. Such risks include unreliable power supply and the jeopardy of critical operations. Implementing predictive maintenance for the generator’s health and operational efficiency is the best way to prevent a chain reaction of unfavourable outcomes. Pragma’s client, Fair Cape Dairies from South Africa, needed a trustworthy solution for the maintenance of its generators.
