The vision – Lean Automation: Lean Solution – the next step with integrated Lean Safety functionality

This innovative Lean Automation structure eliminates the need for remote I/Os and any signal wiring to sensors or actuators. Lean Connectivity brings SmartWire-DT technology directly into the devices. Functional safety is ensured through the integrated Lean Safety technology directly on the SmartWire-DT and the safety-related switchgear. The structure consists of a SmartWire-DT coordinator and decentralized intelligent components. Starting from the coordinator such as an HMI/PLC, SmartWire-DT connects electrical switching devices as well as safety components or hydraulic and electrical drives.

An increasing number of companies are offering products with SmartWire-DT for Lean Connectivity and are ensuring that switch cabinet designs are increasingly more streamlined, simple and cost-efficient.
