“ Our solution allows control systems to receive health status data from machines directly,” Guckes explained.“ This improves safety, reduces downtime, and makes the entire process more efficient.”
In short, digiBOX doesn’ t just measure – it thinks. For manufacturers, this means gaining deeper insight into equipment performance while streamlining production logic and enhancing system responsiveness.
Designed for Industry 4.0 from the ground up
HBK’ s innovation was purpose-built for today’ s smart factory environments. Key features of the digiBOX Edge Amplifier include:
■ Simultaneous IT / OT communication: It talks to both PLCs and cloud-based systems without interruption.
■ Modern protocol support: Built with MQTT and openDAQ for easy cloud and analytics integration.
■ Industrial-grade durability: IP67-rated, ruggedized to handle harsh conditions.
■ Application versatility: Suitable for everything from precision weighing to large-scale industrial operations.
“ Measurement technology is a strategic enabler of smart production,” Guckes added.“ You can’ t fully embrace Industry 4.0 without amplifiers and sensors that can keep up.”
This approach ensures HBK’ s solution aligns with evolving needs in automation, predictive quality control, and flexible manufacturing.
