Main technologies.
Native Cloud
The management application are Native Cloud, therefore usable from all the stations where it's installed the Client Gui.
KB1 instead of the DB
This is a very innovation, PWK's KB1 (Knowledge Base) is used instead of the DB, that is normally used in this sort of applications.
Comunication protocols
For the comunication with the automation devices, it has been used many protocols, supported by PWK:
- TCP/IP and TCP/UDP;
- NetLink;
- OPC-UA;
- ModBus.
The TDM 4.0 project is set by a series of POWER-KI applications that implement the system of supervision and active 4.0 support of the production, in a factory that produces brass fittings. From the approach, to the technologies, everything has been innovative. The project is described in the pubblication that you can find below.
