Our industrial applications bridge the gap between complex hardware and digital intelligence, providing robust frameworks for automation, monitoring, and control.
Mobile configuration of field devices in process industry
MPL's mobiLink interface revolutionises process industries by enabling real-time management of field devices using HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and Profibus PA protocols. This mobile solution allows maintenance personnel to efficiently configure, monitor, and replace devices from tablets, enhancing predictive maintenance and reducing downtime, all in line with Industry 4.0 standards.
MPL – MAGBES Switches Applications
MPL's MAGBES switches are vital to NASA's SOFIA, the largest airborne observatory, which conducts infrared observations from altitudes over 12 kilometers. Mounted on a modified Boeing 747SP, SOFIA features a 2.7-meter telescope that offers significantly enhanced sensitivity and resolution. With a 20-year operational plan and around 160 flights per year, SOFIA aims to deepen our understanding of galaxy development and stellar evolution.
MPL – Rugged CEC-14 Applications
MPL's CEC 14-1, designed for extreme conditions at 35 km altitude, controls a portable X-band weather radar that detects precipitation up to 200 km away, operating in temperatures as low as -80°C. Equipped with six serial ports and two LAN ports, the CEC 14 addresses the demand for advanced weather management tools, supporting applications in watershed management, flood protection, and military operations.
Palm Oil Tank Farms Ready For Digitalisation
DNR Process Solutions has successfully integrated Profibus PA segments directly into Ethernet control systems at a large palm oil tank farm in Indonesia, utilising Softing's pnGate PA gateway.
