Description
The flow of binary data across industrial networks, connecting various automation assets, is what energizes your industrial processes. The secure transfer of this information and its accurate reconstruction at the destination is vital to ensuring your operations remain efficient and effective. Central to this functionality is industrial communication; without it, effectively monitoring, managing, controlling, and securing your operations would be an unattainable goal. FactoryTalk® Linx serves as a crucial framework for all devices utilizing FactoryTalk, including essential third-party devices that form a vital part of your industrial network. It provides solutions that scale from small applications on a single computer with one controller to expansive setups with distributed and redundant data servers interfacing with large automation systems. Additionally, the FactoryTalk Linx Gateway facilitates seamless interaction with both FactoryTalk-compatible devices and those that operate outside this standard. This versatility ensures that your entire operational landscape remains interconnected and responsive to demands.
Description
A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory functions similarly to a traditional manufacturing facility, but it focuses on digital assets rather than tangible components. To build this factory, your organization develops a comprehensive “superset” supply chain of digital assets that are accessible across the entire range of products. These assets come with all the available feature options provided in the product lineup. The selected features for each product are detailed in the Bill-of-Features, and subsequently, a product asset instance is generated using the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, driven by Gears, transforms into an automated production system that assembles and configures the shared digital assets according to the chosen features for each product variant at the simple push of a button. With BigLever’s Gears, your organization benefits from a unified set of PLE concepts and frameworks, enhancing your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering processes throughout the entire product lifecycle. This integration not only promotes efficiency but also fosters innovation within product development.
