The Factory of the Future, Today: How IoT-Enabled Climate Control Makes Plants Smarter
|
| |
|
Converting existing facilities into smart ones can be costly and time-consuming. In order to fully integrate with IIoT (the Industrial Internet of Things) and the factory of the future, climate control units must also be brought online for remote monitoring and integration: they can either be replaced or retrofitted.

New Solution for IoT Connected Cooling: Retrofit
The practice of retrofitting existing cooling systems for IoT connectivity is now an option by using newly available adapters, to connect certain existing units via common plant protocols such as TCP/IP, OPC UA and Modbus. This enables real-time monitoring to minimize system downtime. When your climate products are running correctly, the rest of your sensitive equipment can keep your plant smart.

When to Replace Rather than Retrofit
|
| • |
|
If your equipment is over 5-7 years old
|
|
| • |
|
If your utility provider offers incentives for installing more efficient equipment
|
|
| • |
|
If your current units aren’t performing as they should, consider upgrading
|
|
| • |
|
If you’ve upgraded your drives and devices inside the enclosure but not your cooling unit
|
|
| • |
|
If your equipment has failed
