Omron Releases Soft NA HMI Solution for Its NY IPC Series to Optimize Control and Visualization

August 4, 2020

OEMs and end users seeking better control and visibility of their equipment will find a welcome solution in the recent product release from global automation solutions provider Omron Automation Americas. Omron has released its new Soft NA software for its industrial PC (IPC) to offer seamless and efficient control and visualization.

The new launch is an integrated combination of the Omron IPC and Soft NA. As the Soft NA is the ideal HMI for applications not requiring a full SCADA system, this solution can eliminate the need for an IPC for data (such as ERP, SAP, Sysmac Studio or CXONE) and a separate NA5 HMI for NJ/NX machine control.

The Soft NA implements the full functionality of the NA5 Sysmac HMI, but in a format that will run on an IPC. End users can take advantage of a product that’s essentially an NA5-HMI in software form. Before the release of this new combination, customers lacked an easy way to use Omron’s IPC as an HMI for the company’s controllers.

End users needing an HMI interface to the Sysmac NJ/NX system and the ability to run additional software (ERP, SAP, data collection, etc.) are among those who can get the greatest benefit from this new solution. It’s also designed to help OEM customers who need to build NJ/NX-based machines with enough computer power for other applications.

How to Choose The Right Safety Network For Your Production Line

Safety networks have been around for a while. Devices are getting more connected, leading to a greater need to collect and share data. In tandem with this, safety networks are acquiring a more significant role in enabling flexible manufacturing and supporting Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) initiatives. On the factory floor, where assembly lines need to change in accordance with consumer demand, adding or removing a part to the process can be a challenge.

Three Trends That Will Make Functional Safety More Adaptable

Flexibility is one of the most sought-after qualities in manufacturing systems this year. In recent years, manufacturers and automation suppliers have found that they could simultaneously increase flexibility and reduce costs by moving from a safety-by-wire solution to a safety network, adopting an approach dubbed “integrated safety.” The concept of integrated safety became mainstream for OEMs and end-users just within the past year or so.

How Damage and Distortion Can Impact Barcode Readability

How Damage and Distortion Can Impact Barcode Readability

Even the most neatly printed or perfectly etched barcodes can eventually degrade to the point of unreadability. As parts move through the various production operations, harsh environmental conditions may cause enough damage or distortion to their barcodes to cause no-reads. Damage can include scratches, tears, blotches, stains, debris and more. Several environmental factors can contribute to distortion when it comes to terms of shape, contrast, element uniformity, and substrate integrity.
