Efficient interface with robust plastic housing for decentralised drive systems
Smart automation is reshaping industrial production. Machines, control systems and service processes are becoming more connected, data-driven and flexible. To fully leverage these capabilities, manufacturers need secure and reliable access to OT across sites – for maintenance, troubleshooting and optimization. Yet in many factories, legacy systems, segmented networks and stringent security requirements still stand in the way of what has been a commodity in IT environments for many years.
The conservation organization Project Seagrass and Tandem Ventures have joined forces to design, develop, build, and test an underwater harvesting machine. Onshape enables the team to collaborate in real time, even from a boat.
