Communication for automotive manufacturing solutions

Automotive manufacturing solutions requires communication between different parts on the factory floor. Connect different PLC-systems, machines, and devices. Enable remote access to industrial equipment for troubleshooting and programming. Run testing and network diagnostics. Or unwire machinery and enable them to communicate via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular.
