Kontron’s Next Generation Smart Factory (NGSF) approach enables the seamless integration of converged TSN networks into modern, highly connected Industry 4.0 environments. This allows for demanding IoT edge applications in real-time, while also ensuring easy cloud connectivity. Kontron’s industrial computers, gateways and switches like the KSwitch D10 are essential for the establishment of a TSN-oriented infrastructure. Work consolidation is achieved by virtualization of real-time and standard applications on a single powerful edge computing system, e.g. Kontron’s KBox C-series. The benefits of the NGSF concept are numerous; e.g. thorough connectivity, optimized production processes, efficiency increases and cost optimization.
