What is the Next Generation of Distributed I/O and How Can It Bring Value to Your Facility?
Distributed I/O is evolving fast—now built for cybersecurity, IIoT, AI, and digital twins. Join us to explore how next-gen platforms can boost your facility’s performance in the Industry 4.0 era and beyond. Discover the future of industrial control.
As with all other technology, distributed I/O platforms are rapidly evolving. These systems were originally designed to be little more than ways to reduce wire runs and manage noise. Now a new generation has been defined. This next generation of distributed I/O has superior cybersecurity solutions and is ready to handle the Industrial Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, and the new emergence of AI and simulated twins.
Join us as we discuss this technology, and how it can bring value to your facility as we enter the second quarter of the 21st century.
