Features

Smart collection of on-site sensor information

Collecting on-site sensor-level information is essential to making the manufacturing floor “visible” and IoT enabled.
Panasonic provides an information collection solution that is easy, low-cost, and maintains information quality.
Using Panasonic’s self-monitoring sensors and IO-Link master, incident light intensity, pressure values, and distance measurement values can be sent as digital data with certitude to a host controller.
The sensors diagnose their own state and inform you of the result, making it easy to identify the cause of problems.
By reducing the amount of data collected, you can alleviate the labor spent organizing and analyzing data.
