Panduit Corp., a global leader in Unified Physical InfrastructureSM (UPI)-based solutions, launches a ground-breaking approach to the deployment of a manufacturing network that reduces installation time and saves operational costs.
The Integrated Network Zone System enables seamless communications between control rooms and the manufacturing floors within industrial facilities. Available in three configurations, the System includes an Allen-Bradley Stratix Industrial Switch for faster deployment and superior management and diagnostics. The Switch is pre-assembled into a NEMA rated 4/12 enclosure with structured cabling and cable management integrated together using proven design and installation best practices. The UL certified system also includes Allen-Bradley uninterruptible power supplies installed behind a touch-safe protective cover.
“The Integrated Network Zone System significantly reduces the costs and complications associated with integrating the plant floor and enterprise networks,” said Steve Timian, Director of Industrial Automation Solutions, Panduit Corp. “This robust system will provide our customers with the ability to manage and improve manufacturing processes and productivity.”
The Integrated Network Zone System:
- Delivers up to 75% reduction in deployment time
- Localizes network traffic to improve resiliency
- Is engineered, tested and validated for optimal performance
- Enables safe access and protection from electrical shock
