Moxa has announced its active participation in the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and will formally participate in the TSN interoperability testing platforms.“We are incredibly excited to have Moxa’s industrial Ethernet and networking expertise join the TSN community. Our customers need an open and interoperable ecosystem of TSN-enabled devices. Moxa’s investments and participation in activities like the IIC TSN for flexible manufacturing test platforms will help ensure the interoperability of Ethernet switches,” says Todd Walter, host of the IIC TSN Americas test platform and Chief Marketing Officer at National Instruments.
“Having Moxa in the IIC and involved in TSN initiatives and OPC UA technologies is an important step towards the global unification of Industrial IoT connectivity. Moxa brings very valuable expertise and great products to the vast OPC UA TSN ecosystem, thus covering the entire path from sensor to cloud,” says Stefan Schönegger, Global Marketing Director at B&R Industrial Automation.
“Within Moxa’s IIoT initiative, we believe that our investments in technologies like TSN and our strategic alliances with industry partners will enable us to develop transformative technologies that will benefit businesses and society as a whole,” says Andy Cheng, President of Moxa Inc.’s Strategic Business Unit. Cheng adds, “Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology is fundamental to realizing the manufacturing industry’s dream of mass customization. It goes beyond simply reducing overall costs; it extends to the ability to truly transform production on the fly. Participating in IIC TSN test platforms is how we can contribute to the development of interoperability standards that can expand the possibilities of IIoT. Looking ahead, Moxa will continue to actively seek opportunities to contribute to the development of TSN and smart manufacturing.”
