Technology for critical environments

Discover the advantages of the updates to Furukawa’s FI2S line for critical industrial environments.

We have already discussed industrial connectivity solutions and Furukawa’s FI2S line, which was designed for critical environments. Recently updated, the line incorporates new technologies, applications, and products to meet the needs and requirements of industrial sector verticals, such as: Steel, mining, manufacturing, automotive, agribusiness, and critical hospital environments. These environments face major operational challenges due to the need for Ethernet protocol standardization; after all, any failure can affect the performance of the industrial system.

Why the industrial line?

One of the most important characteristics is its robustness. With high reliability, the components are more resistant to variations in temperature, humidity, and vapors, thus offering a longer service life even in aggressive environments.

In contrast, installing inadequate materials may require more frequent maintenance and/or unplanned machinery downtime due to the high rate of corrosion and oxidation of more fragile materials.

Another point is cost reduction, not only in installation but also in unscheduled maintenance; it facilitates the expansion and optimization of infrastructure by reducing materials and even the physical space used.

The system allows for the innovation of business models with intelligent products and advanced technologies, which increases added value. The infrastructure is flexible, facilitating expansion and maintenance processes in addition to allowing remote management of network information. It holds a great competitive advantage considering that digital technologies can be exploited with a significant impact to provide better services. Furthermore, it enables the expansion of the cabling infrastructure’s reach to all devices, creating integration between industrial and data communication networks.
