Wireless control moves on to the warehouse floor

摘要

NEW servers available now allow almost any RS-232/422/485 serial device to be remotely monitored, managed, and controlled wirelessly. "Listening to our customers, we realised the need for connectivity to portable equipment and mobile assets in plants, warehouses, and large industrial facilities," Paul Wacker, product manager for industrial communications at Advantech said. "The EKI-1351 and EKI-1352 give equipment OEMs and end-users a quick and easy means to add wireless capabilities to wired devices and equipment, facilitating real-time access to information locked within them." Device servers are a drop-in solution to add network connectivity to non-networked devices and equipment.
