IMTS 2014 - The Windy City to Host One of the World's Largest Manufacturing Trade Shows
NEXCOM will showcase their fieldbus concentrator NISE 300 designed to help build a connected factory and harness the power of big data at this year's International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, IL from September 8-13, 2014.
Fremont, CA August 12, 2014
The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) will be making its bi-annual appearance at Chicagos McCormick Place this September 8-13, 2014. Over 100,000 manufacturing professionals from around the world will convene in the windy city where they can interact with 1,900 exhibitors to learn new ideas and insights on the manufacturing industry.
At this years IMTS, NEXCOM, an innovative supplier in vertical application markets, will be demonstrating its total solutions, bringing in cyber-physical systems to construct a future of smart, green, and urban production. Visitors will witness how NEXCOM's total solutions stay on the fast track to realize Factory of Things and to build a smart factory in a cost effective manner.
Among NEXCOMs line-up of demonstration products will be the NISE 300 Fieldbus Concentrator Solution, which is compatible with advanced control networks using standards such as PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, and EtherCAT, and is sure to arouse widespread interest at IMTS. To demonstrate NISE 300's capability, NEXCOM will have it installed with OPC Server software and configured with VIPA I/O, VIPA PLC, and Hilscher PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and EtherNet/IP modules. The solution provides an open architecture for cross-fieldbus communication between HMI and SCADA systems.
The fanless computer NISE 300 features Intel® Coreâ„¢ i5-4402E processor and provides high expandability to support multiple fieldbus technologies and internet connectivity. Designed to fit in a 2U rackmount chassis, the NISE 300 is a high computing data server and communication gateway which provides cross-fieldbus communication, makes data-based decisions, and pushes factories down the path towards lean manufacturing.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
