Moxa’s super-slim, industrial smart switches, which includes the SDS-3008 and SDS-3016 Series, are up to the challenge. With […]
Industrial wireless technology is changing the world as we know it, driving the development of unmanned and remote capabilities to facilitate autonomous and mobile operations in various applications such as material handling, medical care, manufacturing, and mining. Compact mobile machines equipped with complex sensing and computing capabilities such as Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) open up […]
Since its launch last month, we’ve been taking the new Moxa EDS-G4000 Ethernet switch out to our customers. They’re impressed with the built-in security, IEC certification, and much more. Here’s the top 5 features that they like most. 1.) Security. The EDS-G4000 is built around a new operating system with built-in hardened security. It’s the […]
Expand your connections with Moxa’s 3.2 USB-IF certified hubs for better reliability. Moxa’s new UPort 400A and Uport 200A series expand USB ports into 4 or 7 USB ports with USB 3.2 SuperSpeed. The industrial grade UPort 400A and the general-purpose UPort 200A USB 3.2 hubs are designed to meet the higher speed demand of […]
As more OT and IT networks converge, there are several attack surfaces emerging in industrial control systems. Some are known vulnerabilities, but there are also some that are unknown. That’s why it’s important that everyone from management to individual users join forces to support industrial cybersecurity from the edge to the cloud. Here are 5 […]
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 […]
Moxa’s EDR-G9010 secure routers now feature industrial intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to protect manufacturing and critical infrastructure from cyber attacks. The EDR-G9010 Series is an all-in-one secure router with firewall/NAT/VPN/switch functionality, as well as a first-line network defense for industrial automation and control systems (IACS). Adding IDS/IPS, turns the EDR-G9010 Series into an industrial firewall […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
If you need to connect proprietary serial devices over IP networks, serial device servers can provide a simple bridge between your legacy serial devices and modern communication systems. However, without sufficient knowledge of how serial device servers work, you could end up spending unnecessary time and effort. Here are three key criteria you should remember […]
Remote or distributed outdoor IIoT applications such as in solar energy, oil and gas, and water/wastewater require reliable IIoT gateways with low-to-high bandwidth cellular connectivity to collect and transfer edge data. The Moxa UC series Arm-based computers are ideal for these applications with their wide variety of cellular connectivity options, compact size for cabinet installation, […]
Over the past few years, countries that lack the land mass required for solar plants are turning their attention to the water-based alternative, floating solar islands. By placing solar panels on floating platforms in water bodies, valuable land is freed. As the cooling properties of water allow the panels to perform well even in high […]
The automated material handling equipment market is expected to grow tremendously in the near future*. While this trend is anticipated, it recently accelerated in the spring of 2020 as a result of two significant driving forces. Namely, the expansion of e-commerce businesses and the social distancing measures imposed on shop floors. In recent years, e-commerce […]
The transformation to Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has increased the demand on network nodes to enable connected systems. Although some network nodes can use unmanaged switches that feature basic management functions to minimize network complexity and administration effort, other situations may still require managed switches, which continue to play an […]
Nowadays, more and more businesses understand that digitalization is necessary for them to survive and thrive. A 2019 Deloitte Smart Factory study found that 86% of manufacturers felt their smart factory initiatives would be the main driver of competitiveness over the next five years. In 2020, these initiatives have been accelerated due to the global […]
