Podcast episode summary

This episode centers on the innovative capabilities that Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) offers for industrial manufacturing. It highlights the cooperation between Keller, a leading manufacturer of printing machines; Mitsubishi Electric, a global provider of automation technologies; and the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA), which supports the CC-Link IE TSN technology. 

Keller, known for its highly modular printing machines, utilizes cutting-edge TSN technology to maximize flexibility, productivity, and safety. This networking solution allows the company to precisely control machines with up to 70 synchronized motion axes, ensuring consistent high product quality. It also enhances efficiency by running multiple processes simultaneously without compromising speed or accuracy. 

Mitsubishi Electric supports Keller with powerful automation solutions tailored to the demands of complex machinery. By integrating CC-Link IE TSN with Mitsubishi's advanced automation components, machines can be flexibly adapted to new requirements and production processes can be accelerated. 

The CC-Link IE TSN technology from CLPA serves as the backbone of these developments. It enables seamless and time-critical communication between individual machine modules, ensuring highly precise control. Combining gigabit bandwidth with Time-Sensitive Networking ensures reliable, deterministic performance that is well-prepared for both current needs and future innovations. 

This episode highlights how companies can optimize their production and future-proof their operations by integrating TSN and modern automation technologies. Keller, Mitsubishi Electric, and the CLPA demonstrate how close partnerships and the use of advanced network technologies pave the way to Industry 4.0.
