2016 intelligent industry into the "Industry 4.0" era, that era of the fourth industrial revolution, we can call it intelligent industry. No doubt, IoT will be to promote the development of key technologies of intelligent industry, and industrial connectors are a key part of the field of IoT indispensable, it will also assist industrial automation revolutionary developments in this process. For example, in real life we often use a wireless connection for intelligent industry will have a very important role.
 
So, how will the next wave of industrial connectors intelligent industrial fortune and challenges? How do they respond? Intelligent network issue electronic enthusiasts are invited to special industrial connector giant Molex's JuiGoy Eng China sales manager to discuss issues related to the field of Intelligent connectors for industrial environments with us.
 
How do smart connector of the industrial era

How to develop industrial connectors welcome opportunity
 
JuiGoy Eng considered industrial connectors are indeed facing great opportunities in IoT, intelligent industrial wave, mainly in the following three aspects:
 
First, the wireless connection for intelligent industry has a very important role, through the deployment of a mobile, miniaturization and networking of various "smart" device on a wireless mesh network, it can achieve optimal productivity. For example, Molex standard antennas in this series of supply, especially for these applications.
 
Second, the optimization of intelligent industrial processes will also promote the efficiency of numerous applications in human-machine interfaces (HMI) in, and contains level sensors, including Molex offers a variety of capacitive touch sensor products.
 
Third, the fiber optic interconnection systems is the main driver of industry growth and intelligent things (IoT) long-term evolution. Molex developed circular lens MT extension bundle interconnect solutions to meet the specific requirements of data-intensive industries.
 
Core competencies response to industrial demand
 
Intelligent industry performance requirements in order to achieve effective automation based on demand. In cooperation with industry, to fully understand the requirements of system downtime and slow speed of installation will affect productivity and profits. Brad MX-PTL M12 cord set Molex provides fast, reliable push-locking connection can be a good solution to such concerns by providing.
 
The intelligent industrial automation also need to implement a distributed control system (DCS). Also we need to be able to actively provide on-site bus, use a computer network protocol, to achieve the full benefits of real-time distributed control. JuiGoy Eng noted from four fieldbus technical capacity supply interconnect solutions Molex is one big core competitive advantages, including: DeviceNet and PROFIBUS, generally as more traditional industrial automation fieldbus and Ethernet-based PROFINET and EtherNet / IP. In addition, field bus interconnect system is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, which Molex is another core competitive advantage, its components according to the standard IP67 sealing for like dust and corrosive liquids.
 
Intensive environments connectors outstanding problems
 
Complex process monitoring, device performance, materials and utility position, productivity and output for intelligent industry has a very important role, need intensive computing environments can be real-time processing of data. And heat-intensive environment to solve such a problem has been created, and the cooling system itself will only increase energy consumption, push up costs. For example, for industrial applications, power connector, it means higher demand for thermal performance and lower power loss challenge.
 
In this regard, Molex does respond is to provide "EXTreme" power interconnect product line for the load 7 days a week, 24 hours a day non-stop operation reliability and design. According JuiGoy Eng describes EXTreme Guardian ™ system has exceeded the high-end servers and high-power applications with high current requirements of high reliability, we can maintain the integrity of the power, while providing EMI / RF shielding, plastic bag options and discrete wiring options and improve design flexibility. EXTreme Guardian system supports up to 80.0 amps per contact current, provide good shielding effect, and hot-swappable and UL Standard safety features.
 
Layout Connector China market
 
Connector market is a major feature of its dispersion, dispersed customers, suppliers dispersion coupled with customers more choices, competition will be more intense, in order to win, product quality, cost, technology indispensable when it comes to Chinese market , JuiGoy Eng represents Molex offers a very wide range and extremely diverse range of interconnect solutions, including industry, automotive, medical, lighting, high-end servers, as well as the rapid rise of Chinese solar energy such as various segments of the renewable energy market. In addition, China R & D center and technical center Molex also as a variety of precision components and assemblies global development center in China for the domestic and global quality, cost and technology have a competitive advantage. China's 12th Five Year Plan called for further expansion of the development of advanced technologies, Molex through increasingly sophisticated interconnect solutions for rapid response to evolving market demand. JuiGoy Eng finally stressed Molex has successfully established a strong, comprehensive market presence in China and will continue efforts to improve the image of the market.
