Who isn't familiar with the small but generally spiky, sharp and voluminous remnants of milling or drilling tools, which perform their day-to-day work with gentle force. The waste, also known as chippings, that inevitably accures when a new product is shaped from raw iron, is frequently called "pretty but sharp" at collection centers, and this is for good reason. But the grayish-blue shimmering remnants are not only a nuisance for unprotected hands. Due to their perfected flight characteristics, they make detection within a milling machine quite difficult. And finally, the drilling water ensures that the little devils end up in every nook and cranny.

One Network Summit is a two day, no-cost event with the goal of providing end users and other stakeholders with state-of-the-art insights into two of the most impactful and challenging topics in the networking world today—the trend toward converging OT and IT networks, and the need for increased vigilance in cyber security. It was held in Detroit last month, September 18 and 19, 2018.

Every year, the number of devices requiring greater bandwidth to remain reliable and well-connected increases. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Managed Switch is built to help manufacturers keep pace with this change and build next generation networks.

The VKSI0297 Ethernet adapter is an extremely practical solution with which a range of sensors from ipf electronic can easily be integrated into industrial communication. The adapter is therefore ideal for the needs-based upgrading of devices already in use.

Within Ethernet networks, security is paramount, which makes Hirschmann’s new Rail Data Diode an asset to industrial companies that access the public internet to receive critical diagnostic data.
