COST REDUCTION WITH DIGITAL NETWORKS

The so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0, is driven by the use of various revolutionary technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and Automation, among others. Digital Networks applied in industry, as part of these technologies, are protocols used for controllers, sensors and actuators to allow data exchange in a reliable and agile way, in order to supervise or control industrial processes.

Contrary to what one might imagine, Digital Networks are not aimed solely at data transmission – they bring advantages that guarantee greater productivity, greater integration between systems, reduction of electrical installations, operational agility, significant improvements in fault diagnosis, maintenance simplification, and agility in equipment configuration, among others.

Coester works with the most modern Industrial Network protocols, such as ProfiNet, Modbus RTU, Profibus DP, and Modbus TCP, among others. It has professionals who are certified to work in Profinet Networks, which is currently the most widely used communication network in the industry for the integration of automation communication systems with IT systems.

The certification of the company’s professionals, implemented in a pioneering way in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, expands Coester’s scope of supply, which is able to provide Certifications and Integration of Industrial Networks, Automation Systems, including Software, Field Interface Unit, and Training in Networks, among others.

Digital Networks ensure a considerable reduction in human mediation over equipment during industrial processes, which translates into greater productivity and performance and lower operating costs.
