Industrial Automation
Industrial Automation involves using robotic machinery controlled by computers to carry out manufacturing tasks.
This approach offers numerous benefits, including higher yields, reduced waste, increased precision, improved quality, lower operating costs, and longer production runs.
USB Extensions for Robotics and Industrial Automation
Often, the computer controls need to be placed in a remote area away from the machines due to harsh conditions (e.g., sawdust in a lumber mill cutting area can be too harsh for a computer touch screen controller).
USB is a common control interface, but it has a distance limitation of five meters for USB 2.0 and three meters for USB 3.0. Icron’s USB and USB + Video extenders effectively bridge this distance gap.
Why Use Icron for Industrial Automation?
The return on investment for Industrial Automation is just too good to miss out on because of USB distance limits.
Icron’s USB and USB + Video extenders can cover up to 100m over CAT 5e/6/7 cables and up to 10km over fiber optics.
They’re super easy to install with plug and play, work with all operating systems, ensure reliable data transmission, and come with sturdy metal housings and Class B certification. Perfect for industrial settings.
