PLANET Technology, a leading global provider of IP-based networking products, will exhibit at Smart Production Solutions (SPS) from November 12 to 14, 2024, in Nuremberg, Germany, at booth no. Hall 10.0 – 524. The showcased networking solutions aim to enhance efficiency and intelligent network architecture for industrial environments. They feature intelligent automation control, AIoT/IIoT infrastructure, and sustainable energy management, all while supporting net-zero carbon emissions and environmental sustainability goals.

A full range of network products for industrial automation to be displayed includes the new PROFINET Industrial Ethernet Switch and Industrial PoE+ with Fiber Ethernet Switch. The Industrial 10G TSN Ethernet Switch, featuring nanosecond-level time-sensitive networking, enables automation systems to achieve high-speed and low-power operations. By integrating PLANET's Serial Device Server, Modbus Gateway, and EtherCAT solutions, scalability in automation and smart manufacturing networks can be further optimized. Additionally, PLANET’s industrial 5G private network and mobility solutions provide high-speed, secure, and precise network communication services for smart factories, warehousing, logistics, and more. This includes the Industrial 5G NR Cellular Wireless Gateway with Fiber, 5G NR Compact Gateway, and 5G NR Outdoor Unit.

A variety of advanced network application solutions for industrial automation, machine learning, and AIoT data transmission will be on full display. The solutions include the Flat-type 10G Fiber Managed Switch with LCD Touch Screen, Industrial 10G Fiber Managed Switch, 10G/2.5G 95W PoE Managed Ethernet Switch, and Fiber Managed Media Converter to meet the requirements of high-bandwidth applications, such as big data transmission. Also to be showcased is the Industrial 10-inch Modular Ethernet Chassis Switch, designed to be flexibly reassembled and reused, thereby reducing electronic waste and promoting a low-carbon industry. For heavy industrial fields with high vibration and strong electromagnetic interference, the Industrial EMC-certified 95W PoE Fiber Switch and EN50155 Ultra-wide Voltage Managed Switch (ITS-6326 Series) provide robust and stable transmission. All industrial networking devices comply with information security standards and have passed IEC 62443 certification for cybersecurity in automation operations. They also feature AI-powered green energy and PoE power management to efficiently manage network power consumption while enhancing industrial energy conservation and carbon reduction.

PLANET launched the AIoT Application Server (NMS-AIoT) featuring a cross-protocol AI energy smart management design for sustainable industrial transformation. The NMS-AIoT integrates multiple wireless and wired communication protocols such as LoRa, Wi-Fi, HaLow, and Modbus. Through AI technology, it collects, analyzes, and manages various IoT sensor data to monitor energy usage and carbon emissions, effectively helping industrial environments achieve energy conservation and carbon reduction goals. It won the COMPUTEX 2024 Best Choice Award in the IoT Application category and the Sustainable Tech Special Award. Another highlight is the world’s first Renewable Energy Management Controller, an independent power grid solution designed for remote areas. Administrators can remotely monitor power generated by renewable energy, track power consumption, and manage data transmission, effectively reducing carbon emissions from network devices and enhancing sustainability.
