Digital Transformation

Software-defined architectures are the key to digital transformation in industrial automation (IA). The right architecture deployed in IIoT environments can:

  • Radically reduce downstream integration costs,
  • Decouple software from hardware lifecycles, and
  • Add resiliency to the supply chain.

In these increasingly smart and interconnected systems, the right software can enable the necessary flexibility, scalability and performance, while providing a path to migrate away from physical changes to automation hardware and controllers.

IA includes Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), automation platforms, smart machines, and more. The method these various systems use to communicate is vital for solving safety, security and performance issues, both on premise and throughout the value chain. To be effective, these efforts require data-centric communication that includes real-time data sharing from sensor to cloud.

The Communication Standard for IIoT

As a core layer of the Industrial Internet Connectivity Framework, the Data Distribution Service (DDS™) standard is the IIoT protocol that offers data-centricity and automates the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of connected applications. 

RTI Connext, based on the DDS standard, is the future-proof software connectivity framework that bridges legacy and modern systems, so that manufacturers can protect in-place investments while preparing for the future.
