Wireless radios boost reliability for UK machine builder

An OEM producing construction blocks in the United Kingdom had found that running its EtherNet/IP™ network through a cable winder wasn’t the most reliable option. The cable would break and lead to downtime. Not the best outcome on a fast-moving line: A mobile platform and a finger car needed to communicate so blocks could get from a rack stacker to a kiln.
