Dusseldorf, Germany – A new security vulnerability threatens all systems that use OpenSSL, one of the most widely used software for encryption of all kinds, for transport encryption based on TLS. When processing certain TLS certificates, targeted attacks can bring clients and servers to a complete standstill (DoS – Denial of Service).

One of the most crucial decisions in the initial design phase of a machine is the selection of the control system. Traditionally, PLCs (Programmable logic controller) have been used for the automation of industrial processes and the control of machinery, information shared by Kivnon.

Boston, MA, USA. 2 March 2022 – The Industry IoT Consortium announced the Industrial IoT Artificial Intelligence Framework (IIAIF). The framework highlights the value proposition AI can enable in next-generation industrial IoT (IIoT) systems and addresses the emerging requirements and implementation challenges.

Legacy equipment is vital to the functioning of many manufacturing facilities. Nevertheless, with rapid advances in automated and connected technologies, managing both new and old equipment simultaneously can be a challenging balancing act. Here Johan Jonzon, CMO and co-founder specialist in edge analytics for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Crosser, shares some insights into

Shelves sit empty, customers rush into stores to panic-buy and order fulfilment slows to a halt while these scenarios may seem familiar from the early stages of the pandemic, businesses face a similar supply chain crisis now.

There’s an interesting analogy to understand IoT, the devices are the neurons all connecting to the giant brain called the internet. Every small device in this network is holding an important set of data. Now, the performance of this neural-like network will directly depend upon the efficiency of data transmission. 

 Dunkermotoren announces the market launch of the new IIoT brand “nexofox”. Under nexofox, Dunkermotoren will offer its customers a holistic solution portfolio covering all aspects of the use and connectivity of its smart motors.

With recent reports highlighting that 5G-enabled factories could deliver a productivity boost to UK manufacturing of between £2.6 billion (€3.03 billion) and £6.3 billion (€7.34 billion), it is perhaps surprising that smart factory technology simply wasn’t on the radar of 27% of respondents to the Annual Manufacturing Report in 2019.

As automation technologies and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) become more commonplace in modern manufacturing, the requirements of control hardware increase accordingly. However, the importance of this is often overshadowed by the focus on new sophisticated software. Here, Stephen Hayes, managing director of automation expert Beckhoff UK, explains why manufacturers should take a holistic
