Rexroth: Cast off for the journey into the future of industrial communication

 

The factory of the future will be fully connected. An essential requirement for this is the simple integration of all machines and devices into a network that guarantees company-wide access to all relevant information at all times. Bosch Rexroth demonstrated at the Hanover Fair that this is already possible wirelessly with a 5G demonstrator integrated into a 3D printer. In conjunction with OPC UA and the real-time extension TSN, this fulfils essential requirements for connectivity.
