Moxa, a leader in industrial communications and networking, announced its official participation in the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) TSN interoperability testbed.

As a company committed to developing innovative industrial connectivity technologies and solutions, Moxa has joined the IIC TSN Testbed to collaborate with other leading companies. This testbed rigorously tests TSN interoperability and verifies the stability and reliability of currently developed implementations before they are released to the market.

“We are excited to have Moxa join the TSN community and leverage their expertise in industrial Ethernet and networking,” said Todd Walter, senior marketing manager for the IIC TSN Testbed and National Instruments. “Customers need an open, interoperable ecosystem of TSN-enabled devices. Moxa’s active participation in activities like the IIC’s TSN Testbed for Flexible Manufacturing is helping to drive interoperability for Ethernet switches.”

“Moxa’s participation in the IIC, TSN initiative and OPC UA technology activities is a major step forward in enabling interoperable industrial IoT connectivity globally,” said Stefan Schönegger, Global Marketing Manager at B&R Industrial Automation. “Moxa has the critical expertise and useful products needed to build a comprehensive OPC UA TSN ecosystem that spans from sensors to the cloud,” he said.

“As part of our IIoT business, through our investments in technologies like TSN and strategic alliances with key industry partners, Moxa is committed to contributing to innovative technological advancements that can benefit businesses and society as a whole,” said Andy Cheng, President of the Strategic Business Unit at Moxa. “Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology is essential for mass customization in the manufacturing industry, not only reducing manufacturing costs but also enabling on-site modifications to production processes. By participating in the IIC TSN testbed, Moxa is contributing to the development of interoperable standards that expand the potential of the IIoT. Moxa will continue to actively participate in any opportunity to advance TSN and the smart manufacturing industry.”
