B&R presents IoT offering for legacy equipment at HMI

Previously unconnected machines and lines can be upgraded for modern smart factory systems with unprecedented ease. The new package from B&R makes it possible to read and utilise operating data from older, digitally isolated machinery and systems in a smart factory. No changes are required to the existing hardware and software.

The B&R booth will also showcase its new 3100-family of industrial PCs, which unites the performance of the latest Core i processors with a compact design. The compact Automation PC 3100 and Panel PC 3100 are highly flexible, offering modular interface options and fanless operation.

Another B&R highlight at the Hannover Messe will be its next-generation industrial transport technology, which enables efficient production at any batch size. The independent shuttles transport products individually and can be precisely synchronised with robotics and CNC systems.
