In recent years, many new manufacturing concepts have become popular, from the Internet of Things to Industry 4.0. It's safe to say that manufacturing is in a current period of major change.
In an era where it's easy to take advantage of the benefits of IT and cloud-computing, data regarding trends from markets, production, distribution, and consumption are easily accessible, making it possible to drastically reduce waste through expansion of data-driven business. This, in turn, is becoming a prerequisite for remaining competitive in manufacturing industries.
In order to utilize manufacturing data, large amounts of data must be compiled at various locations, and using a general-purpose OS such as Windows for on-site devices and equipment is a simple way to easily and accurately connect those devices.
However, many factory lines and equipment feature legacy operating systems, and directly connecting that equipment to a network can be difficult without modification.
In this way, the introduction of the PS5000 Series is a breakthrough product for bringing manufacturing into the IT and networking era. With a generous helping of the latest technology, this industrial PC is designed to offer a stylish design and operability that anyone can master. Developed as a key device acting as a gateway to IT- and network-based manufacturing, the PS5000 Series comes in a number of variations, from thin type to modular type and box type. Thanks to Pro-face's high connectivity with legacy equipment — a result of developing HMI products for manufacturing settings over many years — and the innovative software technology that makes controlling such devices a breeze, the PS5000 Series offers a reliable "Powerful Solution" to the many needs of customers.
