Engineers are problem solvers by nature. When presented with a cybersecurity issue, their immediate focus is often on finding a solution. This instinctive reaction can be beneficial in many scenarios, but it can also have unintended consequences. Conducting a comprehensive assessment should be the first move when dealing with any aspect of ICS cybersecurity. Imagine […]
As the global energy revolution unfolds, storage technologies like BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) are revolutionizing our understanding of power supply. While the focus is often on the high initial construction cost of BESS, the operational expenditure is frequently overlooked. As we invest in the development of larger BESS facilities, it is essential to recognize […]
Water and dust can cause electric and electronic equipment to deteriorate or malfunction. To combat this, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has created the ingress protection (IP) ratings. These ratings assess the level of resistance an enclosure has against the infiltration of dust or liquids. Widely utilized in various industries, IP ratings play a crucial […]

Terra Ferma, Moxa, and MSI TEC extended IT communications from the corporate offices out to the most remote and harsh industrial environments the oil and gas industries have to face. Terra Ferma was challenged with bringing remote video surveillance and data acquisition to multiple wellheads scattered throughout the cold, harsh Rocky Mountains of the Central […]
IIoT gateways act as a gate or bridge between OT devices and the cloud in IoT and IIoT applications. Since they often need to process the bulk of ingress and egress data, they are more exposed to cybersecurity threats than other devices. For this reason, it is extremely important to keep your IIoT gateway software […]
Success Story: Omron helps medical device contract manufacturer improve labeling speed and accuracy with LVS-7510 printer-integrated system A multinational medical device contract manufacturer of stents, balloons and catheters needed to be able to easily shift manufacturing lines across its multiple facilities from development to mass production. Each facility was doing the same type of work, […]
There are a number of misunderstandings about safety that put many facilities – and their employees – at risk for accidents. One reason for the misconceptions about machine safety is due to the large number of older workers retiring with few mid-career workers to inherit their expertise. This trend is causing many industrial facilities to […]

With the increase of industrial IoT (IIoT) applications, the gateways that sit between the “things” and the Internet have become extremely important. A gateway acquires data from sensors and actuators in the field, and then transfers the data to the cloud, enabling smooth data flow from field to cloud. To ensure the stability of the […]
This white paper discusses deploying OT data to an OT/IT cloud, and how Moxa Smart I/O can help OT engineers.
This eBook from Moxa covers best practices for designing a reliable industrial network. In an industrial network, failure can be extremely expensive, and can even result in physical injuries in extreme circumstances. The first part of this guide covers best practices when beginning to design a reliable industrial network and explores defining network requirements, QoS […]
Unmanaged switches are used in very small, basic networks with less than a dozen connected devices and don’t require a high level of security and performance. Managed switches are fully configurable and offer security settings to protect the network. Because they provide flexibility and control, they are ideal for networks that require reliability and security, […]
