Factory Automation and Process Controls 

Industrial revolutions have changed the way we work, think and do most everything. Today, with the help of electronics, smart computing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0 is enabling new efficiencies and higher levels of performance on the factory floor. TTI supplies the components that drive everything for computer-controlled manufacturing and material movement. 3D printing rapid prototyping are leading to CNC machine driven robotic assembly. The integration of sensors and process controllers into the most elemental industrial applications is pushing production and performance to new levels. Tighter tolerances, better monitoring and quicker production are creating a revolution in industry that hasn’t been seen in 100 years.

As more factories adopt IIoT functionality, which allows them to monitor, track and control operations remotely via Internet connection, they also are gathering massive amounts of critical data that could revolutionize the way they do business―if utilized correctly. IIoT is a key component of the Industry 4.0 approach, which analyzes that collected data and uses it to power artificial intelligence, machine learning and factory automation. This combination of operational data and smart computing truly can bring a facility into the future, where processes are optimized by data analysis, maintenance is carried out automatically before problems occur, and operations are fully automated.

To move toward a fully connected and automated factory, machines need to be equipped with connectors, wiring systems, sensors that are robust, scalable, and have the ability to send and receive data without fail. These smart components are best paired with reliable network interfaces, simulation software and programmable logic controllers that can manage large amounts of data, enabling machine learning capabilities.
