TE Connectivity, ifm, SAP and the OPC Foundation to Present Test Platform for Transmitting and Evaluating Sensor Data in IT Systems at the Hanover Fair

TE Connectivity, ifm, SAP and the OPC Foundation to present test platform for transmitting and evaluating sensor data in IT systems at the Hanover Fair. (Source: TE Connectivity, PR057)DARMSTADT, Germany – April 25, 2016 – TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, has collaborated with ifm, SAP and the OPC Foundation to develop a test bed that shows how all sensor data can be transmitted from machines to an IT system and evaluated there. This allows the efficiency of a factory to be considerably enhanced through, for example, a reduction in energy consumption. Because the solution is easy to retrofit in virtually any production facility, it significantly increases productivity and improves resource efficiency. The partners developed the test bed within the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC).
