Introduction

  • A product manufacturer wanted to connect their various systems—including production, assembly lines, and logistics systems—into one unified network to achieve shorter production cycles and a lower total cost of ownership.
  • The company was looking to shift to a new network architecture that would enable mass customization to fulfill dynamic market demands.

System Requirements

  • The machinery needed to run on a built-in unified TSN network to enhance scalability and efficiency, and to create a unified environment for integrating different proprietary networks.
  • Deterministic communications for precise device control and Gigabit network capabilities to connect various systems.
  • Easy-to-use, easy-to-configure, and futureproof technology for real-time production optimization and mass customization.

Moxa Solution

To enable mass customization of their commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products, Moxa provided a comprehensive solution that met the manufacturer’s requirements:

  • The TSN-G5004 and TSN-G5008 Series full Gigabit managed Ethernet switches integrated the various proprietary networks into a single, unified TSN network. This reduced cabling and maintenance costs and minimized training requirements, further improving scalability and efficiency.
  • The TSN-powered network ensured precise device control and provided Gigabit network capabilities, enabling real-time production optimization.

By leveraging TSN infrastructure, the manufacturer achieved seamless control integration, significantly reduced cycle times, and realized service-as-a-service through a unified network. This not only completed their digital transformation but also allowed for adaptive production.
