The implementation of integrated industry (Industry 4.0) requires new solutions for hardware, software and system design. The HARTING modular open platform is a solution which enables customers to implement their integrated industry projects rapidly and cost-efficiently.
The demand for compact, robust computers, which can perform de-central tasks in the field, will increase in the wake of integrated industry. This enables customers to structure production in a more modular, simple and cost-effective way and to position themselves competitively. The key to success lies in the use of standardized interfaces and open, well-established software as well as easy upgradability by customers.
HARTING's modular open platform consists of a set of hardware modules and software apps. All customers also have the option of adding their own hardware and software. The benefits for customers - first of all, cost reductions through savings on servers and PCs in production and time saving in terms of integration. A further benefit: the developers select the programming language of their choice.
The open approach enables rapid prototyping. The hardware and software basis also offers the quality and security required to enable the system to be deployed reliably for years in production with applicable software modules. Service level agreements, guarantee extensions and long-term availability are also available as well as technical support and on-site assistance.
If functions are lacking, the platform is designed to enable customers to add them themselves at minimal cost. Users can also add customer-specific hardware modules thanks to the internal USB interface. The customer's own software apps can also be integrated just as easily.
