Using HMS Edge Gateways to extend connectivity within The Connected Enterprise

Develop an IIoT Ready manufacturing floor

The Connected Enterprise consists of industrial operations that are intelligent, optimized, and secure. Unifying the operational technology with information technology for a more connected, collaborative and cost-effective company.

Anybus® gateways from HMS Industrial Networks enable the Connected Enterprise by providing connectivity at the edge between Industrial Ethernet and a vast number of other disparate networks and communications protocols. This enables the complete integration of legacy equipment installations into the broader plant architecture in order to simplify data collection across the factory floor.  Additionally, wireless solutions from HMS, such as the Anybus® Wireless Bolt, enable easy on-machine access to data by acting as either a Client, for connectivity into existing wireless infrastructure, or as an Access Point to allow easy machine connectivity to wireless devices. 

Data-based analytics can detect quality defects, inefficiencies, and overall equipment effectiveness. The Connected Enterprise provides KPIs to the right people at the right time. Harnessing Rockwell Automation’s Architecture, HMS gateways add connectivity to The Connected Enterprise, for a smarter, more intelligent world.
