In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, staying ahead is key for businesses aiming to boost their operational efficiency. At ProSense, we take pride in being a full-service solutions provider that offers a wide selection of innovative products to the Australian market. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with FB, a collaboration that will deepen our expertise in automation and expand our offerings in both industrial and core network switches.
This partnership enables ProSense to roll out an extensive array of managed and unmanaged switches, featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules in selected units. These advanced network switches not only simplify infrastructure but also enhance functionality, boasting features like ring-level redundancy and multiple Remote I/O (RIO) options.
The Importance of Network Switches in Automation
Network switches are the backbone of any automation system. They manage data flow between an array of devices, making real-time communication possible. In manufacturing environments, where every second counts, having a reliable network switch can transform productivity.
For example, companies that invest in quality networking solutions can see a 30% improvement in operational efficiency. With our updated lineup, ProSense is positioned to meet the increasing need for dependable networking solutions in the automation sector.
Features of Our New Switches
Our latest industrial network switches come loaded with features to fulfil modern automation demands.
Managed and Unmanaged Options
We provide both managed and unmanaged switches, allowing businesses to select the right solution based on their needs. Managed switches come with features such as:
VLAN Support: Segment your network to enhance performance.
Network Monitoring: Keep track of traffic for better decision-making.
Unmanaged switches, on the other hand, offer a simpler plug-and-play approach, ideal for straightforward networking setups.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
One of the standout features of our new range is Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. This enables devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points to draw both power and data from a single cable. This capability not only reduces installation time by 40% but also cuts down on clutter, leading to a more organised workspace.
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Modules
Our switches support SFP modules, which makes network configuration a breeze. Businesses can easily adapt their networks to fit various environments and distances, optimising performance across applications.
Ring-Level Redundancy
Our industrial switches come equipped with ring-level redundancy, a key feature for minimising downtime. If a network path fails, the system reroutes data automatically, allowing continuous operation and protecting against costly disruptions. In industries like manufacturing, even a minute of downtime can result in substantial losses, making this feature invaluable.
Multiple Remote I/O (RIO) Options
The ability to connect multiple Remote I/O (RIO) devices adds significant scalability to our switches. This flexibility empowers businesses to expand their automation setups without sacrificing performance, leading to enhanced operational growth.
Bridging Capabilities in Automation
Partnering with FB is a strategic effort to strengthen our capabilities in automation. By incorporating these advanced network switches into our product lineup, ProSense aims to provide all-encompassing automation solutions tailored to our clients' diverse needs.
This collaboration enriches our offerings and reinforces our dedication to delivering top-tier solutions that enhance efficiency and productivity in industrial settings.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation
At ProSense, we recognise that our clients' success relies heavily on the quality and reliability of the solutions we deliver. That’s why we are committed to sourcing high-quality products from trusted partners like FB.
Our new network switches have undergone rigorous quality testing to ensure they meet industry standards for performance. For instance, tests show that these switches maintain a 99.9% uptime, enabling clients to meet their automation goals with confidence.
Next Steps
The partnership between ProSense and FB is a significant step forward in enhancing our automation solutions. By broadening our range to include cutting-edge industrial network switches, we are better prepared to meet the evolving demands of the Australian market.
As we continue to innovate and adapt in the industrial automation sector, our primary goal is to deliver quality solutions that empower our clients to accomplish their operational objectives.
We encourage you to explore our latest range of network switches and discover how ProSense can assist you in enhancing your automation capabilities. Together, we can create a more connected and efficient future for your business.
