Industrial Communication

What is industrial communication?

The term industrial communication refers to communication between devices used in industrial automation technology. Data and information for controlling machines and plants, mainly in process and production automation, is transferred and exchanged. Industrial communication is therefore the basis for successful automation.

The networking is carried out using standardised industrial networks, which can be either wired or wireless. Increasing digitalisation shows that high-performance communication systems are increasingly becoming the central nerve system for fields of application such as Industry 4.0 or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
