TRUMPF customers benefit from maximum communication availability

When customers buy a machine from TRUMPF, they can add additional communications applications. Customers, who order these, will have their machines equipped with a wireless operation point, which consists of the Hirschmann OpenBAT-R and the corresponding antenna. The OpenBAT-R operates as an access point, generating a wireless network for the mobile devices that are using one of the special TRUMPF apps.

The highly robust Hirschmann OpenBAT-R provides maximum stability and security for the application, using its integrated Clear Space technology and HiLCOS software. This enables TRUMPF to guarantee its customers an innovative solution with maximum Wireless LAN (WLAN) availability in the production plant. Thanks to the easy configuration of the devices, the application can be offered and installed on new orders or provided as a retrofit solution for existing machines. Channel partner YELLO NETCOM joined with Belden to provide TRUMPF with first and second level support during the project implementation.

Dr.-Ing. Hans-Peter Bock, developer basic technology at TRUMPF said: “The Hirschmann OpenBAT-R access point gives us a premium quality industrial solution that guarantees maximum availability of the communication.”
