Smart Factory IO - Link Master Solutions

IO-Link® is at the heart of the manufacturing revolution, with the IO-Link master as an intrinsic piece, bringing intelligence to the edge with its ability to transform traditional sensors into smart ones. IO-Link can help manufacturers bring their factories into the modern era without gutting and replacing their equipment. Acting as the brains of the operation, the IO-Link master brings flexibility and configurability to the factory floor by enabling self-commissioning sensors and actuators.

In the manufacturing environment, all manufactured products require an array of sensors working in unison to help machines determine distance to an object, detect the object, identify colors and composition of an object, as well as to monitor the temperature and pressure of the object. Analog Devices’ IO-Link helps manufacturers save on time and the most costly part of manufacturing floors by eliminating the need for sending technicians to the factory floor to manually change and recalibrate sensors. In making sensors and actuators self-commissioning and enabling bidirectional communication, our IO-Link technology optimizes the production line and streamlines the manufacturing flow.
