From Factory Automation to Smart Factory, integrating the PLC.

In Industrial Automation, especially for SMEs, PLC technology represents the most widespread field option for a wide range of applications, almost a standard that is hard to replace.
Thanks to increasingly intuitive and flexible programming, larger memory capacity, and ever more compact formats, PLCs have seen widespread adoption, particularly in Factory Automation. Automation environments provide optimal conditions for PLC programming, such as high connection speeds and devices with built-in wireless functionality. PLC technologies are useful for monitoring and controlling distributed server/multi-user applications, providing a complete and accurate overview of operations, and addressing the needs of multiple areas, including production processes, maintenance, engineering, and operations to and from management systems (ERP, MES, and WMS).

In this context, FasThink acts as a Solution Provider and System Integrator in Factory Automation applications for data interfacing between PLCs and management systems through the Connect Orchestrator AI digital platform.
